Inspired by the Southern Roman Empire / Roman African Imperium thread, What-If West Africa was developed to a standard nearer to the Roman controlled parts of West Asia / North Africa and never ended up being islamised or if a (slightly Phoenician influenced / Romanized?) West African equivalent of the Axumite Empire was somehow able to form?


Also, would it ever be possible for a scenario to form where the peoples of West Africa are united by a common identity or have enough commonality for civilisations / kingdoms / etc to form much earlier compared to the OTL?

Am asking since beyond the Nok Culture and the Ghana Empire there seems to be hardly any notable pre-islamic history / civilisations to speak of compared to East Africa, though that is understandable given that all humanity is considered to have originated from the latter.
