:(

Anyway, the Toguna is a structure used by the Dogon people where village elders gather for discussion of important topics. It's made low so that when someone becomes angry during a discussion he cannot stand up. This is to prevent violence

Listen on! Listen on! This is the truth of it. Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring, and that was damn near the death of us all. Look at us now, busted up and everyone talking about hard rain! But we've learned! By the dust of 'em all, Bartertown's learned. Now, when men get to fighting, it happens here, and it finishes here! Two men enter, one man leaves

I like Africa too. It's the home of some true Indiana Jones unknown civilizations, e.g. the Sao. A whole civilizational world rising and falling over 2000 years. And now it's lost to time, its knowledge and history forgotten save for a few folkloric memories.

Not having writing doesn't necessarily make your culture inferior, but it is annoying that all your knowledge is lost when the civilization collapses.

ps. bix nood

That happens regardless of having writing or now anon. Pre-modern Written material doesn't preserve that well at all.

I want to learn about cool battles and war. Did these niggas have some cool wars and battles?
Give me aesthetics, what weapons and armor they use, etc

The history of the Zulus, although brief, is kino
>>
>>17995101
true, excellent point
>>17995109
the cool part is that they did, but we don't know about most of them. I look forward to when Africa is stable enough to get some good archaeological work done

opulent. simply opulent

>>17995097
bro, give thanks that you know them by name and found those masks or whatever. most of the earth has been covered with civilizations like that for 5k years, everyone living and inventing things and shit, we don't truly know even 1%

>cannonball
It was a medical ointment for the ass.
>>
>>17995101
Even modern writing doesn't preserve that well.
I am willing to bet that two thousand years from this point onward.
Peoples understanding of today will be barely better than our is on ancient rome.
There will be weird "this guy must have been gay" theories

Its nearly impossible to discuss the american civilizations as well, no one here knows shit about them other than beyond retarded inaccurate conquistador memes but they still feel the need to barge into every conversation and put their ignorance on display. There's also an annoying indian schizo who raids every thread rambling about how every single mexican ruin is a made up modern reconstruction without any proof.

I wish there was a place out there like old /his/, before it got raided by obnoxious catholic/orthodox converts and uneducated polfags. It used to be a running joke around here how unwelcome polfags were and how they were always embarrassing themselves, now half the threads are lazy bait that everyone here bites because they're underage newfags.

"...is a structure".....just stop.

Birds make more complex and beautiful nests with brains the size of a BB.

Africans = "humans" = false
>>
>>17995097
Even their "art" is hideously ugly. Why do all Africans, like the Jew, love cutting skin so much? I get not wanting to look like them, and the desire to cut one's Afro-Semitic Jew face off of one's Afro-Semitic Jew skull, but this only makes it worse. Just wear a mask and avert your gaze. At least the rest of us will spared the sight of your viage......and nose......the really, really big noses are always there too, so you might want to get an XXL face covering. Don't worry you get a discount when you buy in bulk ;>)

Your brain must be the size of an amoeba if you genuinely believe that.
