travel Africa

In 1787, Count Constantine de Volney -- a French nobleman, philosopher, historian, orientalist, and politician -- undertook a journey to North Africa in late 1782 and reached Egypt where he spent nearly seven months. At this time, Egypt was colonized by the white skin Turkic-Khazar tribes under the Ottoman empire and the blood of the people were diluted by white Vandals from an earlier period as well as interracial relationships engaged with various foreign rulers, so, the the racial demographics changed considerably albeit indigenous Black Egyptians were probably rendered invisible as today. However, at this time, the ancient Spinx was not defaced or distorted as most are mysteriously today. From his observations of an undefiled Spinx, he remarked: "Just think that this race of Black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of speech! Just imagine, finally, that it is in the midst of people who call ...

Four representative groups of these circles have been selected for world heritage listing, with two locations in The Gambia (Wassu and Kerbatch) and two in Senegal (Sine Ngayène and Wanar), encompassing 93 stone circles and numerous tumuli and burial mounds. The age and origins of the circles are shrouded in mystery, but recent excavation work suggests they date from between the 3rd century BC and 16th century AD, predating the arrival of the Manding people who currently inhabit the area. This is one of only three trans-boundary world heritage properties in Africa. The most impressive feature is that almost all stones forming a circle are the same height and size, although their height varies between 245cm and 60cm, and their diameter is 30cm to 100cm. The most notable site of the megalithic area is Sine Ngayène (region of Kaolack in Senegal) which includes 52 circles for 1200 megalithic stones and a hundred tumuli.

While Ethiopia may not officially be recognized as the "eighth wonder of the world," it is a country with a rich history, culture, and natural beauty that make it a fascinating and awe-inspiring destination for travelers and adventurers. Ethiopia is often referred to as the "cradle of humanity," as some of the earliest human ancestors have been discovered there, including the famous fossilized skeleton of "Lucy," a hominin species that lived around 3.2 million years ago. The country is also home to ancient and storied civilizations, including the Aksumite Empire, which flourished from the first to the eighth century CE and is known for its impressive architecture, such as the towering obelisks of Aksum. Ethiopia is also a land of stunning natural beauty, from the jagged peaks of the Simien Mountains to the otherworldly landscapes of the Danakil Depression. Visitors can witness some of the most breathtaking natural wonders on earth, including the Blue ...

Ramses’ nose, although not uncommon in africa, was stuffed to prevent deflating over time. Nonetheless, his looks can be found anywhere in elongated groups. From skeletal remains, pottery and hairstyles, it’s been solidified since the 1800’s that everything egyptian stemmed from the native populations of it’s lands, completely foreign from “arab” like populations in the sahara today and eurasia as a whole. Today, they’re are nearly no connections to ancient egypt among “arab” north africans (including copts) and found with other populations in the regions. Although some amatueur anthropologist or stirclty “white” egypt egyptologits would state this due to “arabization”, an anthropologists stand here would be to ask said person to awknowledge this isn’t an “opinion” or argument of theory but stone-cold facts. Given the support of historical docs, the average north africans oral history, aswell as biological testing its without a doubt the arabs of north-africa are not native to the sa...

Firstly I’d like to mention I am an egyptolgist whom base of research is on primary sources. Conclusions are made with the best of arguments and the least amount of bias. Through my research, like every egyptologists before me, I have found the egyptians to be native africans, or “black” people. Must know fact: Migration happened, was documented and should be taught alongside the ottoman empires expansion from arabia into africa. It’ll save us egyptologists plenty of time. Arabs today are open in their non-native identity however to boost touring egypt began claiming they were “native” egyptians which the new generation buys (think how european migrants were taught they “own” america and canada and natives dont). In every “north-african” nation they’re plenty of natives around. Keep reading and you’ll learn something new. But first, where are these mystical egyptians we’ve fantasized about?…In Egypt Thanks to great documentation from the Ottoman Empire we are aware of an arab mi...

I saw the recent backlash around Netflix’s “documentary” about Queen Cleopatra, and it gave me the idea of using AI to reimagine what she looked like. I used Midjourney to reconstruct the images. This reconstruction is created using an ancient Roman sculpture of Cleopatra (created around the time of her visits to Rome in 46–44 BC) and historical description of her appearance.

Short answer: they would lose control. Europe likes control. Control of its people, control of the cheese prices, control of the fiscal policy, etc. They also like to think of themselves as the smartest in the room, as the leaders the world so badly needs, and they love to preach to others what others should do. Yet, as soon as their values are tested they buckle like the hypocrites they are. They were comfortable on their high horses when proclaiming that Africa and other developing nations should skip the benefits of fossil fuels and decarbonize in an insanely short timeframe without doing so themselves, and all it took for all their bluster to crumble was Russia closing a few pipes. Now nuclear and gas are rebranded as green and we all have to pretend like this was the European plan all along. 1984-ish to say the least. Europe does not want Africa to develop, because a developed nation is harder to control. Especially, if giant Nigeria gets its act together and works as one (har...

”A fight took place between a giant python and a leopard at Masai Mara safari park in Kenya, recently, after the python tried to eat the big cat. The python and the leopard all were targeting an impala, but suddenly the giant snake decides to make the leopard its meal and attacks it instead. The leopard emerged victorious in the unlikely battle.”

Hi Collin, I won’t go into Sub-Saharan anything, Just African period, I see no reason for the continuing truncating of the continent, as if the regions weren’t linked and not influencing each other. This thread we will explore some hidden and hiding in plain sight gems of unique African architecture and lost cities. The history of urbanization in Africa is extremely old, some of Africa's urbanization process were contemporary with what was taking place in the earliest phase of Mesopotamia how many here knew of the Soninke city of Dhar Titchitt-Walata.. 4000–2300 B.C in Western Africa an important historical site which gave rise to the later Sudanic complexes with which some of us are here might be familiar ,but as far as Dhar Titchitt is concern only the most ardent of African scholars knew of it's existence and yet it is hiding in plain sight. As you should know there’s no one style for a continent supposedly approaching size of the surface of the moon, Starting with ...
