The ife-artworks has has always been a controversial topic for most anthropologist and authors on the originality of the artworks, but most times the controversy are always short-lived, anthropologist believe the ife artworks were not originally of ife orgin, they believe the yoruba people had migrated to the location ife were they found the artworks and began worshipping them and even began practicing the facial scarification on the artworks, some authors believed believed the ife people had found it somewhere the original people left it and they took it to ife and from ife it got to other yorubas areas
This doubt had risen from the lack of adornment of the artworks by the ife people likewise the lack of information of the people who had made the artworks in ife, the regalia had been also different from the regalia of the yoruba people when they first originally came in contact with the yoruba people,
Unlike the benin artwork which was adorned by the oba and benin people and it showed by historical details of thier past that made more sense that thse artworks were originally the artworks of benin peole

This are just reconsideration of ife artworks, the quest of tracing the ife artworks has been impossible believing the original people had gone extinct

This is just embarrassing

Your anti-Yoruba sentiment is killing your brain

gregyboy:
I gregyboy am dvmb.

TAO12:


"Fagg emphasizes that the Kingship of Benin and Benin bronze casting was imported from Ile-Ife"

Source: Your own attachment. Look closely.


Moreover, quality beats quantity any day, anytime.

gregyboy:



I gregyboy need to be flogged to rest my brain

TAO12:


Why are you mad at me, little boy??

Your own attachment betrays you, and proves my point.

gregyboy:
I know I am slow

TAO12:


(1) Benin art was chosen not for quality, but for quantity.

Quality was never a Benin thing. Quality is for Ife.


(2) The kingship and bronze casting tradition of Benin kingdom comes from Ile-Ife.

Reference:
Your own attachment!


A classic example of shooting yourself. Dvmb gregyboy!

gregyboy:


(1) Not because it was large alone


(2) Ife art is made of head alone ...

(3) ... accompanied by another inferior artworks from the west.

TAO12:


Yes, from scholars.

Not from "edoworld", "edo-nation", "edogroup", websites though ...

Many gives an idea of constellation which was interpreted as divinity.

So we're still talking about mere quantity. I know you can't read, but c'mon give this a try


C'mon why are you crossing out what the attachment says. You brought the attachment, didn't you?

Nobody is debating it with you!

Benin Nairalanders are on one extreme of the sanity scale, while scholars are on the other extreme:

"Fagg EMPHASISED that the kingship of Benin and Benin bronze casting was imported from Ile-Ife".

TAO12:


No we can not trust a scholar (William Fagg).

We must trust a deluded Benin clown (gregyboy).

gregyboy:


[s]Yea yea, claims......

Thats is a poor work stop quoting ir abeg he was reporting what he was told by orao account which we have confirmed to be false.....

But u know am not buying into that writeuo u still post it lol speechless[/s]

Opiletool:


Oga, stop mentioning me in your stupid, disgraceful, ignorant, and clownish posts. 'Some author', 'some author' yen yen yen. Authors without names, audio authors.

TAO12:


Only a dumb and confused person as you could have made this post which is such as asking:

"Which auto company make Toyota products, is it Toyota or another non-existent and unidentified company??"

RedboneSmith:
Chai!

Seun should add real laugh emojis. This 'shining teeth' own is not enough.

Some authors. Some authors. Some authors. They don't have names? You can't cite their publications?

BabaRamota1980:

I pity you. Freak. Stick with what you know.

See as him use him hand catch himself. Even his source is telling him that Bini is junior brother to Yoruba.

YungMillionaire:
Honestly when it comes to ancient art Yorubas are the gods in Africa. I once spoke to a white curator in London, who told me point blank that the ancient Ife arts still shock racist white people till date.
