There were a few notable civilizations.  The Nubians, Malians, Ethiopians, the Songhai..  plenty of other kingdoms and empires beyond the Egyptians.

The thing was just that by the time of the european age of discovery, Africa was in a lull of major power centres and lacked the technology to resist colonialism.  They are still trying to recover from that now.

Realistically I don't know if anyone in the world could have resisted the europeans.  Globally, no one really did.  Africa wasn't exceptionally weak in this regard.  Everyone was weak.

Yet they taught the white man everything they know.
