Iron age was more than 3000 years ago

Others discovered it too independently. No big deal here

Switruth:
Tribalistic idiots are coming to derail this beautiful piece of knowledge

Rostikol:


Do you know that the worlds oldest PAINT FACTORY was discovered in South Africa, and was dated to an incredible 100,000 years old?

MTNnews:
Where then is the BBC link to your claim about the Iron ore ? If you don't have a BBC link confirming it then no one should take your claim seriously. My 2 cent

Rostikol:


2000 BCE is over 4,000 years ago.

Rostikol:


You are very dumb.

So if BBC doesn't report it, it means it is not true?

Mumu.

Rostikol:


No, they did not INVENT it independently.

Iron smelting was an invention, not a discovery.

Ancient Africans took this knowledge to other continents.

Because AFRICA is the Cradle of Civilization.

Do you know that the worlds oldest PAINT FACTORY was discovered in South Africa, and was dated to an incredible 100,000 years old?

That is 95,000 years before our oldest written records!

Ancient Paint Factory Unearthed in South Africa

BBC news

The kits used by humans 100,000 years ago to make paint have been found at the famous archaeological site of Blombos Cave in South Africa.

The hoard includes red and yellow pigments, shell containers, and the grinding cobbles and bone spatulas to work up a paste - everything an ancient artist might need in their workshop.

This extraordinary discovery is reported in the journal Science.

It is proof, say researchers, of our early ancestors' complexity of thought.

"This is significant because it is pushing back the boundaries of our understanding of when Homo sapiens - people like us - first became modern," said Prof Christopher Henshilwood from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

"These finds indicate that humans were certainly thinking in a modern way, in a way that is cognitively advanced, at least 100,000 years ago," he told BBC News.

....The finds include abalone shells with ochre residues inside. There are tools made of quartzite that were presumably employed to hammer and grind ochre into a powder in the shells. And there is evidence that charcoal and oil from seal bones were being added to the mix. It seems bone implements were also being used to turn and lift the paint pastes.

The mere fact though that paints are being manufactured in a systematic way is indicative of a level of advanced thinking.

It would have required a high degree of planning to bring together all of the elements of the kits; and if art really was the purpose, it suggests the cave dwellers of Blombos were capable of symbolic thought - the ability to let one thing represent another in the mind.

provide evidence they took it to the rest if the world. In ancient Africa those that had technology like this were in secret associations the knowledge was not share with the rest of the community and even nearby tribes. So you want us to believe people in igbo, yoruba or edo land exported the technology to asia and Europe. 🤣

Rostikol:


You laugh because you are an ignorant dunce with zero knowledge of African history.

You are so stupid you don’t even realise that the so called Europeans and Asians are descended from black African migrants to those regions.

I have no time to educate a dunce like you. Go on Google and search for Prof. Jin Li’s multinational DNA study that revealed that the Chinese are descended from black African immigrants.

There is even a video on YouTube showing that ancient Nigerians founded Chinese civilisation.

grow up

ednut1:
grow up. These are not proofs. Many of these things cannot be proven. People have created nuclear weapons, phones, satellites, aircraft. How will we get to that level is the only relevant things here. Not one ancient mumbo jumbo
