I remember this day well.

I remember this day well.

I was in LA watching
The news stunned and horrified!
One of the saddest days in our history.
This Day Represents the best 
And the worst of Mankind.
It also represents the massive loss
Of the brothers and sisters
WE ALL LOST-whether we knew
Them or not THEY were/are family!
So sad today and everyday for the 
events that happened on this day!
We will always remember!!!!
Use this day to mend fences
And honor life- it is fragile and
Fleeting and every moment
Counts! Life is too precious to 
take anything or anyone for granted.

BEGINNING OF FORMAL EDUCATION IN SENYA BERAKU.

Image
BEGINNING OF FORMAL EDUCATION IN SENYA BERAKU. The spirit of every society is its religion (what it believes in in terms of values and morals); the soul is in its education (what it learns and teaches) and the body is in its economy ( what it produces and distributes). The Senya Beraku community, like every African society, didn't receive its education system from the Europeans as we were deceived to believe. For the people of Senya, even writing, was already in existence before Europeans arrived, except that they used "biriw" (charcoal) to write on surfaces such as clay walls and the bare ground, giving birth to the adage, "Ɔni sɛnyi igowo" (Preserve it on walls), when sending warning to somebody, especially disobedient children. As a result the ancient writings  with such characters survive the test of time. But thank God the characters and the concept behind the building of the characters were successfully passed on to present generation. And I am privileged ...

Archaeologists have long suspected that some of the "heads" on Easter Island had a buried body.

Image
Archaeologists have long suspected that some of the "heads" on Easter Island had a buried body. At the same time, the "giant heads," several meters high, were thought to be an exception. In fact, if these heads had an underlying body, they would have had to be real stone giants, at least 20 meters tall, to meet the proportions. Recent excavations have shown that the "giant heads" on Easter Island are actually buried "stone giants" whose heads emerged from the earth.. How did statues weighing several tons end up almost 20 meters deep? If they did it on purpose, how did they manage to do it without breaking them? Easter Island is little more than a small island. Where did they get the manpower to bury dozens and dozens of "stone giants" in the middle of the Ocean? Unanswered questions. ... The Egyptians were able to do similar things, but they had the manpower of an empire at their disposal. What labor force did the islanders of tiny Eas...

Breaking out of Black and White Having the ability to quickly react to any given scenario with a yay or nay response can be quite useful in every day life.

Breaking out of Black and White Having the ability to quickly react to any given scenario with a yay or nay response can be quite useful in every day life. Things such as "Should I start crossing the street exactly now?" Or "should I touch this glowing object?" I wouldn't tell anyone to think otherwise- but when it comes down to things we all know should be thought out in proper, most people do tend to still fall into knee-jerk reactions. This isn't anything new for us as humans. The foundations of many ancient esoteric practices are at least in part designed to combat these sorts of reactions. Practices such as Taoism, Buddhism, Hermetics, and even Christianity. Eastern practices tend to lean farther towards speaking directly about dispelling the thought patterns that give rise to these types of reactions. But any spiritual path that includes "Unity" or "Onenes" involves dispelling what is most commonly known as "duality". The ...

The last American slave ship docked

Image
"The last American slave ship docked illegally in Mobile, Alabama in 1860, carrying about 160 West African captives. Among them was Cudjo Lewis, who recognized how his birth culture might be erased while toiling in this new land. So when he was freed, he purchased two acres and started a self-sufficient community of survivors of the last slave ship. Known to outsiders as Africatown, Lewis' neighborhood was modeled on his West African home, where extended families lived together, members conversed in their regional languages, and partook in traditions that might otherwise be lost to them in America. Today, Africatown still exists and houses the descendants of the nation's last slave ship community.

Today in 1915. The worst rail disaster in Britain took place at Quintinshill (Gretna Green) in Scotland, killing 227 people and injuring 246.

Today in 1915. The worst rail disaster in Britain took place at Quintinshill (Gretna Green) in Scotland, killing 227 people and injuring 246.   The chain of disaster started when a troop train collided with the stationary commuter train which had been stopped to allow the a delayed Sleeper Service a chance to make up the time lost. This commuter train had been moved from Northbound line to the Southbound mainline rather than into the actual passing loops, these where occupied by two freight trains.  The commuter train was now directly in the path of a troop train carrying 500 men of the 1/7th Leith Battalion of the Royal Scots on route for Gallipoli. All troop trains have clear line status, something that is still enforced today should the need arise. This also means that it’s travelling at full speed and smashed head on into the commuter train.  Just a minute later the Sleeper Service from Euston to Glasgow collided with the wreckage of the troop and commuter train....

The Vasa, a heavily armed Swedish warship

Image
The Vasa, a heavily armed Swedish warship , sank in 1628 AD, less than a mile into its maiden voyage due to design flaws. Its top-heavy structure, burdened by 64 bronze cannons, coupled with insufficient ballast, made it unstable and led to its quick demise. After spending 333 years on the sea floor, it was recovered in 1961 in nearly perfect condition. Now displayed at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, it is celebrated as the best-preserved ship from the 17th century. The cold, brackish waters of the Baltic Sea played a crucial role in preserving the Vasa and its artifacts, making its recovery and ongoing conservation a significant achievement in marine archaeology.

William "Bloody Bill" Cunningham (1756–1787) was an American loyalist infamous

Image
William "Bloody Bill" Cunningham (1756–1787) was an American loyalist infamous for perpetrating a series of bloody massacres in South Carolina's backcountry in the fall of 1781 as commander of a Tory militia regiment in the Revolutionary War. Though his family were loyal to the British crown, Cunningham initially enlisted in the Continental Army as part of the State of South Carolina's 3rd regiment in 1775. His tenure in the rebel army was an unhappy one and Cunningham changed sides to fight for the British in 1778. He earned the nickname "Bloody Bill" for the violent, ruthless nature of his raids on rebels and patriot civilians. 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 The Cunningham family emigrated from Scotland late in the 17th century, settling in Augusta County, Virginia. William was born in Virginia in 1756. When William was 10, the Cunningham family migrated to Ninety-Six, South Carolina, along the Saluda River in 1766, an area known for its fierce Whig-Tory rivalry tha...

You know, one of the coolest mysteries in archaeology is figuring out where Punt, the so-called "God's Land," really was.

You know, one of the coolest mysteries in archaeology is figuring out where Punt, the so-called "God's Land," really was. ... The ancient Egyptians really loved this place because it was loaded with all sorts of exotic goodies like myrrh, frankincense, electrum, malachite, and even leopard skins. For over a thousand years, Punt was a major trading partner, but the exact spot where it was located has always been a bit of a head-scratcher. Descriptions point to areas around the Red Sea, like southern Sudan, Somalia, or Yemen. But here’s the kicker: a study from 2020 might have cracked the case, suggesting that Punt was actually in Adulis, a legendary port city in what we now call Eritrea. Researchers made this discovery by analyzing the DNA of a mummified baboon from ancient Egypt, which traced back to the Adulis region. Plus, they found detailed accounts in ancient texts—like those on the Palermo Stone and in Queen Hatshepsut's temple—that talk about successful expedit...

sharing borders with the northern environs of Ghana is Tiébélé;

Image
In the south of Burkina Faso, sharing borders with the northern environs of Ghana is Tiébélé; a small village exhibiting fractal patterns of circular and rectangular buildings, housing one of the oldest ethnic groups in West Africa; the Kassena tribe. With vernacular houses dating back to the 15th century, the village’s buildings strike a distinctive character through its symbol-laden painted walls. It is an architecture of wall decoration where the community uses their building envelope as a canvas for geometric shapes and symbols of local folklore, expressing the culture’s history and unique heritage. This architecture is the product of a unique form of communal collaboration, where all men and women in the community are tasked with contributing to the construction and finishing of any new house. This practice serves as a transmission point for Kassena culture across generations.
