The Egyptians, the first ever intelligent writings and thousands of different art across Africa
In Africa you can be sure to find all kinds of diverse and different cultures, creatures and a very deep past. The past has captured the imaginations of many people across the planet, and Africa offers some that cannot be rivalled~The past has captured the imaginations of many people across the planet, and Africa offers some that cannot be rivalled}.
The first recorded detailed writings in Africa were those written by the Egyptians in 4000 BC. They showed some truly astonishing intelligence, built pyramids and had presented the world with an amazing civilization. Many scientists and academics believe that if you are to look back in time to decipher which was the first civilization on our planet, you should look at who had the first comprehensive writings, this means it would have been the Egyptians. Even before this, over 100,000 years ago, the plains of Africa were very different. Fossils showed that they supported Homo sapiens, which are the same genus as us.
The African Countryside was as said, very different to the desolate plains it is now. At the end of the Ice Age about 10,500 years ago, the Sahara desert was actually a very lush green meadow of land. This sort of area would have meant that growing livestock and grain would have been easy. Considering where Africa is on the planet, the effects of the Equator start to show when Desertification took place. These people would then have had to migrate to plains with more grassland. By 3000 BC some civilizations across the world but specifically in Africa had started domesticating animals like horses and donkeys to do farming work.
Africa has been celebrated for its completely unique art. It would be impossible for you to find the amount of assorted arts and cultures in any other country compared to that of Africa. Regardless of where you travel through Africa, a person will be able to locate a different piece of culture from different sectors. The Africans have come to create a single piece of art that all the cultures have in common, the human figurine. This generalisation of art is a representation of a loved one, a dead friend or family member or of somebody of great importance. The African speciality was Abstract art, they created much of it, but recently they have become quite skilled at creating pieces of Contemporary art~There are many kinds of art in the world, the Africans were originally Abstract artists but now create pieces of Contemporary art as well}~The African speciality was Abstract art, they created much of it, but recently they have become quite skilled at creating pieces of Contemporary art.
The best way to find out about Africa yourself; is to go on Safari. Kenya safari has become a popular holiday to find out more about the Land of Africa.
