In that case, you are responsible for the enslavement and destruction of African civilizations.
Not really. Africans are the ones that bundled other Africans to trade with Europeans.
The destruction of African nations today is solely due to themselves as well in most cases. However, you could say that was the only path they could've taken given how the west left them.
Plus on the Egyptian front, all archeological evidence points to the fact that Egyptians never used slaves for the building of the pyramids and whatnot. The only period of Egyptian history slaves were regularly used was when Egypt conquered Nubia and Syria and brought a bunch of slaves back, which later bred like rats and revolted installing foreign rule of Egypt which ended the second dynasty and led to the third dynasty after the Egyptian nobles of Memphis and threw them foreign kings out installing the third dynasty. Despite all this, slaves in Egypt were used mostly for gardening and housekeeping, not really for construction and whatnot. Especially not for the construction of the pyramids which seemed to be a solely Egyptian workforce where egyptians devoted their entire lives for the completion of the monuments. Fun fact is there are no account of any Israeli's or whatever pseudonyms as slaves in Egyptian records. (and the Egyptians loved keeping records of things)
