What in the passage reflects that ‘Africa was by no means inferior to Europe’?

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question on the basis of the content of the passage:

Many Europeans thought that Africa's history was insignificant. They argued that Africans were inferior to Europeans and they used this to justify slavery. However, the reality was very contrasting. A study of African history shows that Africa was by no means inferior to Europe. The people who suffered the most from the Transatlantic Slave Trade were civilised, organised and technologically advanced people, long before the arrival of European slavers, trying to suggest they were backward people. Egypt was the first of many great African civilisations. It lasted thousands of years and achieved many magnificent and incredible things in the fields of science, mathematics, medicine, technology and arts. Egyptian civilisation was already over 2000 years old by the time the city of Rome was built.
