Malstrom: do you have any academic links i can check out? thanks Malstrom: yes, i mean venerated. |
Re: The Art And Architecture Of Yorubaland! by Malstrom(m): 6:22pm On Nov 28, 2011 |
U might find if you search on the web but I do unfortunately not have any academic links. I was taught those things by Ugandans telling me things about their culture when the subject "twins" came up at one time. |

I found an article describing what I meant with the names, I do not recognice the rest tho "As far as the parents are concerned, one of the most notable things that happen to the parents of twins is the nomenclature that multiple births bring about. The parents instantly begin to be called either as the “Mother of the spirits” or “the father of the spirits”. In Central Uganda, the Mother of twins become automatically known as Nnalongo while the father becomes Ssalongo.These new naming for the parents are so powerful that the concerned parents gradually lose the original names they were hitherto known by in that community before the twin birth." http://socyberty.com/society/some-bizarre-ritual-practices-associated-with-twin-birth-in-uganda/ |

In fact that's exactly what Campbell did, took a bold step and spoke to the fact the Minoans were intimate with the sea and at the peak of their civilization and international trade partnered with distant lands they held in esteem as civilized peers. How would they know Yoruba was a high society and a good partner? From the Minoans intimacy with the history and legacy of the Phoenicians (Canaans). Go and read Solomon's story when Sheba visited him. The Queen from the land of ivory, gold and slaves. |

I am happy we still have evidence of all these things we created, because here in Europe there is a general feeling that black people never created anything and that everything we have now was taught to us by whites, they even say that that was the aim and the good side of colonization. The people here believe we were roaming in the bushes like animals before colonization. Please could someone do a wide spread advert of our culture ? Maybe we should make our own international TV news and show our history on it. |

Maybe we should make our own international TV news and show our history on it. nice idea if it doesnt get hijacked and sidetracked by tribal supremacists. i watch history channel and rarely see much about african history, eg the Ife bronzes, on it. i guess the general nature of african history makes discussions about the subject (history), a painful one. besides, we'd probably just have various incorrect and misleading info imposed by shortsighted and misguided mercenaries. |

^^^ cant we all just get along? why does every thing have to end up in a cock fight? someone just said we could have a better platform to showcase our stuff and someone else starts to rain insults on people he has never seen on a platform that is still conceptual. seems someone here is sexually frustrated. tell you what guy: why dont you get a girlfriend and have some angry sex; you know, let off some steam. it would help. nowadays, 23 year olds have heart attacks. haba! see the grammer! |

Please could someone do a wide spread advert of our culture ?Hello dear friend: I do not know the situation in Europe. I suppose that Europeans are too proud to recognize the values of Africans. They convey that in Africa before colonization had not mathematicians, doctors, scientists ... This position is to justify under the guise of colonization, all the atrocities they committed. His documentaries on Africa show limited to lions and giraffes, and is never explained the meaning of tribal dances; only see a group of people jumping around like fools. In my country (and also in Brazil) is a great respect for black culture. Possibly the most representative music of our people was created by African slaves. (candombe) Also exist many individuals and organizations that disseminate African culture ... But there is still much work to do. |
