Hi everyone, this is my first post here. 
Browsing the internet i found some theories about carthaginians fleeing to South America after the third punic war. This is probably ASB, but what if they made it to West Africa? They could have enstablished some colonies like Carthage itself were.
A survival of these Sub Saharian colonies could have an impact on the later european age of discoveries, because carthaginians settlers could have brought with them their technology and institutional advancements.
This could lead to fairly advanced kingdoms right at the dawn of middle ages, and maybe contacts through the Sahara or Moroccan coasts.
Could these African kingdoms have resisted the colonial penetration of europeans, first by the portuguese and then by everyone in the XIX?
Or even better: could they somehow make it to the Iberian peninsula, and expanding there? I think that the best moment is right before the islamic invasion of Iberia, because the Visigothic kingdom was inherently oppressive with minorities and unstable.
In the end, could a black-dominated european country change the later development of racism, due to the intermarrying of royals from the now black-dominated Iberia?
Is this scenario plausible?
