Thanks to the technological prowess in the West,Africa seems unable to do things that can drive the world insane… However, that’s not all. Just as the Asians and other races are known for something phenomenal, so is the African race. We all contribute to the shape and definition of the world. Because of the encounter with the imperialist, it is believed that we had nothing good to boast about, thank God certain evidence speaks for itself; At least we lived and communicated with each other before they came. We had civilizations that lured the rest of the world to Africa. I suppose that’s how they learned what use they could have if they let us colonize.
As expected when two cultures meet and later part, both cultures definitely take something away from each culture. In that sense, the point of this article is to assert that Africa has always been an important part of world history. There are cultural wonders that are attributed to other people but probably originated in Africa. Accepting that humanity may have started from here is still a heavy pill for some, regardless of the evidence at hand. Obviously, not only have we lost people to slavery, but many cultural wonders as well. These cultural wonders were exported from Africa and now other people are being praised for them.
1. Martial art
As soon as you hear martial arts your mind goes straight to Asia, probably a mental image of Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan. If you believe that Egypt was once a center of world civilization, and a largely significant one, then it’s not out of the question that martial arts were part of the routine for physical fitness, primarily for the art of self-defense, entertainment, or just for sport. Already 3400 BC There were Egyptian paintings (hieroglyphs) depicting the existence of martial arts in the system. The same depictions have been found in tombs dating back to 4000 BC. come from. Another investigation sheds light on the possibility that Ethiopia is the original owner of the phenomenon. It is believed that they existed as early as 8000 BC. introduced into Egypt.Advanced karate when he says: “The oldest records concern unarmed combat on hieroglyphs from the Egyptian pyramids.” He was definitely wrong about finding his proof on the pyramids. The real evidence can be seen on an Egyptian tomb containing depictions of military training and certain athletic activities dating back to 4000 BC. are to be found.
2. Olympic Games
Still from the implied meaning of the hieroglyphs on royal tombs and royalties in Egypt showed that by this time Egypt was already known for organizing sporting events, such as javelin, ball games, swimming, shooting and fishing. The comparison with the Greek history of the Olympic Games from 776 B.C. BC clearly shows that the idea of organized games and sports probably originated in Africa. It makes sense that Africa would organize something like this because it strongly believes in a person’s physical strength. A proof from 2000 BC. The pharaoh monuments found at Beni Hasan, Egypt, provide evidence for the possible first organized sporting events. Also interesting in this regard are the Libyan rock arts depicting archery and swimming.
3.Yoga
In 1944, Dr. Muata Ashby advocated the recognition of his research into the origins of yoga from Africa – North Africa and Egypt to be precise. He claims it was a practice that probably lasted over 100,000 years during Egyptian civilization. The yoga posture might have a semblance of typical Egyptian culture. Today, yoga has many historical histories, but these tend to be attributed to Indian Sanskrit culture. Postures from ancient Egyptian stone arts could be a positive reference to the claims of yoga of African origin. Yoga was part of Egyptian Kemetic spirituality.
4. Monotheism
This is the belief system in a God. Africa didn’t learn this style from the coming of the white man and Christianity, we’ve always been monotheists of religion. The core believers in African traditional religion will testify that they serve only one supreme being. They do this through the supplications of priests, deities, and ancestors. Just like Christianity, Islam and Judaism, which are known for their strict monotheism, Africans also believe in a single supreme being.
5. Chess
The Almighty Chess Game; Glorified for ImprovementSpiritual alertness, although not sure where it originated, is highly attributed to the Chinese and Indians during the Gupta Empire. Then it was later modified in Southern Europe. However, there is an argument that traces the appearance of chess back to a number of games played in the same way in ancient Egyptian civilization – the senate and the mancala, both found in the royal burial chamber of Tutankhamen, the reigned from 1348-1339 BC Both games were also played by moving objects or markers (with implicit meanings) across a game board. Just like chess, the aim is to capture all of your opponent’s pieces by impeding their movements. The popular medieval European game, which still points to African society, was adapted from the panel of an Egyptian temple dating to 1400 BC. Engraved. Without neglecting the real insights of African history, a definitively authentic origin of chess might still be a mystery. It’s safer to say that the game happened to exist in many different areas at different times, but a certain group modernized and popularized it.
