[size=16pt]12 Great African Inventions That Changed The World[/size]



1 Speech

The first words by humans were spoken by Africans.

''Using statistical methods to estimate the time required to achieve the current spread and diversity in modern languages today, Johanna Nichols — a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley — argues that vocal language must have arisen in our species at least 100,000 years ago. Using phonemic diversity, a more recent analysis offers directly linguistic support for a similar date. Estimates of this kind are independently supported by genetic, archaeological, palaeontological and much other evidence suggesting that language probably emerged somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa during the Middle Stone Age, roughly contemporaneous with the speciation of Homo sapiens.''


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_language




2 Writing


In 1999, Archaeology Magazine reported that the earliest Egyptian hieroglyphs date back to 3400 BCE which "...challenge the commonly held belief that early logographs, pictographic symbols representing a specific place, object, or quantity, first evolved into more complex phonetic symbols in Mesopotamia."

Who were these original Egyptians?

The Greek historian Herodotus.. described the Colchians of the Black Sea shores as "Egyptians by race" and pointed out they had "black skins and kinky hair."

Apollodorus, the Greek philosopher, described Egypt as "the country of the black-footed ones" and the Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus said "the men of Egypt are mostly brown or black with a skinny desiccated look."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/specials/1624_story_of_africa/page88.shtml

In his book 'Egypt', British scholar Sir E.A. Wallis Budge says: "The prehistoric native of Egypt, both in the old and in the new Stone Ages, was African and there is every reason for saying that the earliest settlers came from the South." He further states: "There are many things in the manners and customs and religions of the historic Egyptians that suggests that the original home of their prehistoric ancestors was in a country in the neighborhood of Uganda and Punt [present day Somalia]."

''Greek historian Diodorus Siculus devoted an entire chapter of his world history, the Bibliotheke Historica, or Library of History (Book 3), to the Kushites ["Aithiopians"] of Meroe. Here he repeats the story of their great piety, their high favor with the gods, and adds the fascinating legend that they were.. the founders of Egyptian civilization, invented writing, and had given the Egyptians their religion and culture.''

(1st century B.C., Diodorus Siculus of Sicily, Greek historian and contemporary of Caesar Augustus, Universal History Book III. 2. 4-3. 3)

http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html

To summarise:

"Ancient Egypt was a Negro civilisation. The history of Black Africa will remain suspended in the air and cannot be written correctly until African historians connect it with the history of Egypt. The African historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest nor objective nor unruffled. He is ignorant, cowardly and neurotic. The ancient Egyptians were Negroes. The moral fruit of their civilisation is to be counted among the assets of the Black world."

- Cheikh Anta Diop, The African Origin of Civilisation.



3 Medicine

''The earliest known surgery was performed in Egypt around 2750 BC.... The Ebers papyrus (1550 BC) is full of incantations and foul applications meant to turn away disease-causing demons, and also includes 877 prescriptions. It may also contain the earliest documented awareness of tumors..

Homer (800 BC) remarked in the Odyssey: "In Egypt, the men are more skilled in medicine than any of human kind" and "the Egyptians were skilled in medicine more than any other art". The Greek historian Herodotus visited Egypt around 440 BC and wrote extensively of his observations of their medicinal practices. Pliny the Elder also wrote favourably of them in historical review. Hippocrates (the "father of medicine"wink, Herophilos, Erasistratus and later Galen studied at the temple of Amenhotep, and acknowledged the contribution of ancient Egyptian medicine to Greek medicine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_medicine



4 Architecture

The African empire of Egypt developed a vast array of diverse structures and great architectural monuments along the Nile, among the largest and most famous of which are the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza

The pyramids, which were built in the Fourth Dynasty, testify to the power of the pharaonic religion and state. They were built to serve both as grave sites and also as a way to make their names last forever. The size and simple design show the high skill level of Egyptian design and engineering on a large scale. The Great Pyramid of Giza, which was probably completed c. 2580 BC, is the oldest and largest of the pyramids, and is the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The pyramid of Khafre is believed to have been completed around 2532 BC, at the end of Khafre's reign.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_architecture



5 Mathematics

The invention of mathematics is placed firmly in African PRE-HISTORY

''The oldest known possibly mathematical object is the Lebombo bone, discovered in the Lebombo mountains of Swaziland and dated to approximately 35,000 BC. It consists of 29 distinct notches cut into a baboon's fibula. Also prehistoric artifacts discovered in Africa and France, dated between 35,000 and 20,000 years old [respectively], suggest early attempts to quantify time.

The Ishango bone, found near the headwaters of the Nile river (northeastern Congo), may be as much as 20,000 years old and consists of a series of tally marks carved in three columns running the length of the bone. Common interpretations are that the Ishango bone shows either the earliest known demonstration of sequences of prime numbers or a six month lunar calendar.

Also, Predynastic Egyptians of the 5th millennium BC pictorially represented geometric designs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics#Prehistoric_mathematics

''Numeral systems have been many and diverse, with the first known written numerals created by Egyptians in Middle Kingdom texts such as the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus.

The earliest uses of mathematics were in trading, land measurement, painting and weaving patterns and the recording of time. More complex mathematics did not appear until around 3000 BC, when the Egyptians and Babylonians began using arithmetic, algebra and geometry for taxation and other financial calculations, for building and construction, and for astronomy''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics



6 Mining of minerals

The oldest known mine on archaeological record is the "Lion Cave" in Swaziland, which radiocarbon dating shows to be about 43,000 years old. Much later on, the Africans of Egypt mined malachite....Quarries for turquoise and copper were also found at "Wadi Hamamat, Tura, Aswan and various other Nubian sites"..The gold mines of Nubia were among the largest and most extensive in the world, and are described by the Greek author Diodorus Siculus. He mentions that fire-setting was one method used to break down the hard rock holding the gold. One of the complexes is shown in one of earliest known maps. They crushed the ore and ground it to a fine powder before washing the powder for the gold dust.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining#Prehistoric_mining



7 Iron Smelting

Iron smelting is a form of extractive metallurgy; its main use is to produce a metal from its ore. This includes production of silver, iron, copper and other base metals from their ores. Smelting uses heat and a chemical reducing agent to decompose the ore, driving off other elements as gasses or slag and leaving just the metal behind.

Early iron smelting:

''Where and how iron smelting was discovered is widely debated, and remains uncertain due to the significant lack of production finds.. [but] there is a further possibility of iron smelting and working in West Africa by 1200 BC. In addition, very early instances of carbon steel were found to be in production around 2000 years before the present in northwest Tanzania, based on complex preheating principles. These discoveries are significant for the history of metallurgy.''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting


8 Religion

Greek historian Diodorus Siculus. From his own statements we learn that he traveled in Egypt around 60 BC. His travels in Egypt probably took him as far south as the first Cataract.He wrote about the ''Ethiopians'' south of Egypt.

"They further write that it was among them that people were first taught to honor the gods and offer sacrifices and arrange processions and festivals and perform other things by which people honor the divine. For this reason their piety is famous among all men, and the sacrifices among the Aithiopians are believed to be particularly pleasing to the divinity,"


9 Laws

Stephanus of Byzantium, who is said to represent the opinions of the most ancient Greeks, says:

"Ethiopia was the first established country on the earth, and the Ethiopians were the first who introduced the worship of the Gods and who established laws."
Quoted by John D. Baldwin, Prehistoric Nations, p. 62.



10 International Trade


In 1825, Arnold Hermann Heeren (1760-1842), Professor of History and Politics in the University of Gottengen and one of the ablest of the early exponents of the economic interpretation of history, published, in the fourth and revised edition of his great work Ideen Uber Die Politik, Den Verkehr Und Den Handel Der Vornehmsten Volker Der Alten Weld, a lengthy essay on the history, culture, and commerce of the ancient Ethiopians, which had profound influence on contemporary writers in the conclusion that it was among these ancient Black people of Africa and Asia that international trade was first developed. He thinks that as a by-product of these international contacts there was an exchange of ideas and cultural practices that laid the foundations of the earliest civilizations of the ancient world. Heeren in his researches says: "From the remotest times to the present, the Ethiopians [ancient name for blacks south of the Sahara] have been one of the most celebrated, and yet the most mysterious of nations. In the earliest traditions of nearly all the..civilized nations of antiquity, the name of this distant people is found. The annals of the Egyptian priests are full of them, and the nations of inner Asia, on the Euphrates and Tigris, have interwoven the fictions of the Ethiopians with their traditions of the wars and conquests of their heroes; and, at a period equally remote, they glimmer in Greek mythology. When the Greeks scarcely knew Italy and Sicily by name, the Ethiopians were celebrated in the verses of their poets, and when the faint gleam of tradition and fable gives way to the clear light of history, the lustre of the Ethiopians is not diminished."

http://wysinger.homestead.com/blackegypt101.html


11 Philosophy

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy#Ancient_philosophy

Philosophy in Africa has a rich and varied history, dating from pre-dynastic Egypt, continuing through the birth of Christianity and Islam. Arguably central to the ancients was the conception of "ma'at", which roughly translated refers to "justice", "truth", or simply "that which is right". One of the earliest works of political philosophy was the Maxims of Ptah-Hotep, which were taught to Egyptian schoolboys for centuries...Ancient Egyptian philosophers made extremely important contributions to Hellenistic philosophy, Christian philosophy, and Islamic philosophy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_philosophy

''Ancient Egyptian philosophy has been credited by the ancient Greeks as being the beginning of philosophy''.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_philosophy


12 Art

The oldest art objects in the world—a series of tiny, drilled snail shells about 75,000 years old—were discovered in a South African cave.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art



Without the African invention of speech, writing, medicine, architecture, mathematics, mining, iron smelting, laws, international trade, philosophy, art, etc, there would be no modern world, no cars, no computers, no ipads, no planes, nothing. So to talk of intelligence without referencing the original fount of intelligence and human civilization - Africa - is an exercise in self deceit, and is similar to a child who merely washes his stomach when it tries to bathe.


This list of 12 African inventions which are on a totally different and highly pivotal scale, influenced ALL ELSE that came afterwards on this planet. Those 12 African inventions set the stage for EVERYTHING else including the present. This is about setting the record straight, as well as educating the uneducated to understand that the modern world we know today would have been utterly impossible without the pioneering ingenuity of the BLACK AFRICAN. We will not allow the pioneering invention of speech, writing, medicine, mathematics, architecture etc by Africans to be taken for granted or swept under the carpet. These inventions took place in Africa while the rest of the world were running around, grunting, in caves, killing each other with clubs and sticks, in a nightmare of stone age existence. Without African ingenuity, the world may well have remained in that Hobbesian state of chaos till today. We thank our African ancestors for their ingenuity and brilliance in helping to lay the foundations for the modern world we enjoy today.

WHEN BLACK AFRICANS RULED (AND CIVILIZED) EUROPE

It is not commonly taught in school or presented in the media, the fact that black Africans ruled in Europe for over 780 years starting from the Moorish invasion of Spain in 711, till the 1500s, bringing civilization and literacy to a poor, wretched, and illiterate Europe.

But a quick tour of European historical artefacts, deemed too valuable to destroy, reveal a carefully concealed truth of West African domination of much of Europe during the time in question.

More stunning masterpieces depicting the black African ruling elite of Europe in the Middle Ages.


The Black Nobility is a term known to those into European monarchies. Most of the ruling houses of Europe are descended from the old ruling West African black elite. In this video, you can see on the various ancestral flags of the European nations, and on the family crests of their major ruling families, their majestic black progenitors, complete with crowns and royal paraphernalia.

I once saw a guy shuffling along once. He was dirty, haggard and dusty.

I was still staring listlessly at him till the man beside me leaned over and told me "That guy was one of the richest men in the hood in the 90's". He was even one of the first to own an S-class back then in the hood.

Now according to logic, should he go around telling people he was once rich in the 90's?...........Or he should quietly work his way back to the riches he lost??

There's nothing @Rossike has written up there that i haven't read about in Pastor Mattew Ashimolowo's book "What is wrong in being Black"?.

Rather than strutting around telling all and sundry that the cradle of civillization was once in Africa, I felt really bad, asking myself "what happened?? How did we get it wrong"?

Well, the book explains how we lost it and how we can get it back. We should be reflecting not feeling smug.

Sorry, but if you are going to make declarations on which races are more ''intelligent'' than the others, we have to include THE ENTIRE COMPENDIUM OF HUMAN HISTORY, DATING TO A MINIMUM 15,000 YEARS.

You cannot just look at the situation TODAY, or the last couple of hundred years, and make such a determination. That is QUACKERY and CHARLATANISM.

Human history did not start 300 years ago. Whatever became the car and mobile phone of today is derived from THOUSANDS OF YEARS of painstaking scientific development and civilization, the vast majority of which occurred outside Europe - among Africans and later on Asians. In fact Homer was the first voice from Europe (Greece). That was about 800 BC. By then the pyramids were already ancient relics. They were built around 3,600 BC (est). In fact when the Africans of Egypt outlined the races of their day, they placed the whites as the most backward:

This is the famous Egyptian Mural of the Races, dated over 3000 years old, found in the tomb of Rameses III:


......................................................[img]http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRIkuWZleggn1ttYJrqy33LW9mMh6sE34pgI8Lpy7WzipaLqkRx[/img]


The first man (left) is Egyptian ('First Of All Men'). The second is an Asiatic. The third is an African. The fourth is a European.

This was the order of importance the Egyptians gave the various races.


Jean-Francois Champollion, French historian writes regarding this mural:

"Right in the valley of Biban-el-Moluk, we admired, like all previous visitors,
the astonishing freshness of the paintings and the fine sculptures on several tombs.
.... The variations I observed fully convinced me that they had tried to
represent here the inhabitants of the four corners of the earth, according to the Egyptian
system, namely: 1. the inhabitants of Egypt which, by itself, formed one part of the world ...;
2. the inhabitants of Africa proper: Blacks; 3. Asians; [b]4. finally (and I am ashamed to say so,
since our race is the last and the most savage in the series), Europeans who, in those remote
epochs, frankly did not cut too fine a figure in the world. In this category we must include
all blonds and white-skinned people living not only in Europe, but Asia as well, their starting
point. This manner of viewing the tableau is all the more accurate because, on the other
tombs, the same generic names reappear, always in the same order. We find there Egyptians
and Africans represented in the same way, which could not be otherwise; but the Namou
(the Asians) and the Tamhou (Europeans) present significant and curious variants. Instead
of the Arab or the Jew, dressed simply and represented on one tomb, Asia's representatives
on other tombs (those of Ramses II, etc.) are three individuals, tanned complexion, aquiline
nose, black eyes, and thick beard, but clad in rare splendor. In one, they are evidently
Assyrians, their costume, down to the smallest detail, is identical with that of personages
engraved on Assyrian cylinders. In the other, are Medes or early inhabitants of some part
of Persia. Their physiognomy and dress resemble, feature for feature, those found on
monuments called Persepolitan. Thus, Asia was represented indiscriminately by any one of
the peoples who inhabited it. The same is true of our good old ancestors, the Tamhou. Their
attire is sometimes different; their heads are more or less hairy and adorned with various
ornaments; their savage dress varies somewhat in form, but their white complexion, their
eyes and beard all preserve the character of a race apart. I had this strange ethnographical
series copied and colored. I certainly did not expect, on arriving at Biban-el-Moluk, to find
sculptures that could serve as vignettes for the history of the primitive Europeans, if ever
one has the courage to attempt it. Nevertheless, there is something flattering and consoling
in seeing them, since they make us appreciate the progress we have subsequently achieved."[/b]

ROSSIKE: So there we have it: The lowest of the low, now suddenly having appropriated, mostly through foul means, the fruits of thousands of years of human ingenuity, now place themselves above mankind, claiming ''the highest IQ'', and claiming for those who civilized them from grunting cave dwelling brutes, ''the lowest IQ''.

ARRANT NONSENSE.
QED.

You can now close this disgrace of a thread please.

Yes, you may say I am not Nigerian, however, I am not racist. I have visited Nigeria numerous times, have friends in Nigeria and a member of the Atlantic Council for Africa. I only report on facts. I am an American but I live in Lagos, and it is my duty to understand the political economy of countries. If I was racist I would never want to stay in Lagos. Once again, I only post facts to this page and I've enjoyed learning about Nigeria on this forum. Don't hate!

I'll give you the benefit of a doubt smiley but I'll check to see what you wrote that got ROSSIKE peeved.

@ atwireless: His threads are OK. None are racist, very few, if any, are prone to be mistaken as racist, which seems to be your challenge.

White people are always going to be white people.
They suffer from the utmost spiritual and physical inferiority which they deal with by projecting these insecurities onto others.
One of them even comes on to the largest African forum on the internet to helpfully inform us that we are apparently all stupider than him.
Why thank you for your grace and benevolence Mr White Man Sir, how so very White of you!
Please do go on and educate us savage native blackies about how we are the most useless, unintelligent and unproductive people on earth and how you and you kin have taken it as their Honourable White Duty to elevate us.
Please tell me more about how I have no history, art, culture, intellect, abilities or pedigree and how "civilising" me is "the White Man's Burden" - I'm all ears! Really!

The thing is, to all white people reading this (and there are a lot of you), we have a saying here: "When the wind blows, the fowl's buttocks open". This means that given the right circumstances, something regularly concealed like a fowl's a.ss will become exposed.
Well guess what? The wind is blowing at gale force right now and your shi.t is stinking up the building.
Everyone now has access to the truth and even though a lot of us will take the lazy option and self flagellate as usual, more and more of us now understand that you are a race of pathological liars, kleptomaniacs and psychopaths - you don't fool us any longer.

What is more, it's not just us. Everyone else on this planet hates you. You are outnumbered globally 10-1. Your birth rates have fallen below replacement rate. Your economies founded on theft, slavery and war are collapsing. You can no longer use even the threat of force to directly dominate the world anymore because every Sam and his dog now have or are developing nuclear weapons. Everyone from Beijing to Abuja is ditching the valueless paper currency known as the US dollar in favour of the RMB.

Your time is up.

You are about to find out that of nature's several immutable laws, the law of universal balance is the most fundamental. The world is a karmic system and you are about to find out what happens when you steal, r.ape, commit genocide, start illegal wars premised on falsehood, attempt to change history to suit your racist agenda and then set yourself up as some sort of shining city on a hill.
Humans - Africans in particular - might be infinitely and unwisely forgiving, but nature isn't.

You will soon find out that when nature has had enough of you, it will get rid of you with all the ease and disdain of a fly being swatted.

In the meantime, carry on with your psy-ops, lies and falsehoods. I'll even give you a few more points to add next time.


Tick Tock.

To me, the test result is a reflection of what the situation currently is. To be honest, I'm surprised Japan and China have the highest I Qs, I was expecting the Scandinavians to be in that position.
Even without an I Q test, doesn't it bother anyone the kind of societies we live as Africans ? A place where people chosen to lead would rather buy million dollar SUVs rather than providing potable water

Just imagine an Alien visiting earth for the first time, what conclusions would it draw from the present circumstances in all of the continents.

We could say the very same about Europe.

''IQ is nothing other than common sense and from the look of things, Europe seems to chronically lack that at the moment.

Or to Asians

Your sort of intellectual laziness is a bigger issue. So the attitudes and habits of African leaders define "Africans" - all 1 billion+ of us?

I hate this sort of reductive, lazy reasoning so much. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence".
If you put forward an opinion or position, put forward facts, statistics, figures, credible surveys, research, peer-reviewed academic papers to support this position. Don't tell me "Look at this politician who stole xyz Naira...therefore Africans are unintelligent."
What sort of foo.lishness is this?

You also need to learn about your own history, economics and politics before concluding that the actions of those in power in Africa are somehow representative of "Africans" or even that such actions are of their own volition.

The same white people coming on here to post junk "research" and psedo-science supposedly proving your inferiority (and their imaginary superiority) are the ones who select the leaders on the African continent and ensure that they serve everyone else's interests but their own.
Please go read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" and understand why certain things around you are as they are. Go read up on what happened to decent nationalist African leaders like Patrice Lumumba and Murtala Mohammed who put their people first instead of western commercial interests.

The CIA staged a coup in Congo and had Lumumba dragged into the jungle, hacked into pieces and dissolved in sulphuric acid so that there would be no remains to be buried and so even in death, he could not serve as a rallying point for patriotic Congolese nationalists who wanted their country to develop. Thus Congo, the world's richest country by resources (est $24 trillion) is one of its poorest by GDP with millions of Congolese running to places like France and Belgium. Someone like you will then say that the reason Congo is in a terrible state and Congolese run to Europe is because "Africans lack common sense" neh?

The trouble with a lot of Africans is lack of information. You can see only the men who rule you. You cannot see the men who rule those men. Without this knowledge, you are only seeing a small (and insignificant) part of the picture, and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Educate yourself first. Its essential to your survival.

It takes high IQ to make nuclear weapon,even though it is perverted.While on the other it takes just basic IQ to make provision for clean drinking water that could prolong lives,but even that is missing in today's africa.

The problem is that for some uncanny reasons africans just refuse to acknowledge the functions of the brain,the ability of the hands to shape and seems to have replaced them with some fairy tales in the name of jesus,mohammad,devil and all the oyinbo fantasies.

...And here is another member of the African self immolation brigade.

It takes high IQ to build a nuclear weapon? Really? Please indulge me - how so?

How much IQ do you need to steal existing knowledge - some of it thousands of years old - from around the world and join it together?

How much IQ do you need to want to develop a weapon whose entire value lies in it never being used?

How much IQ do you need to illegally occupy Southern Africa and steal Uranium from there to use as nuclear fuel?

How much IQ do you need to start and engage in a "World War" which can end all human life as we know it for the sake of empire building? Does that sound rational or intelligent?

The thing is you have swallowed European propaganda and now believe that the smartest person is the one who can create the loudest boom, cause the most destruction, exterminate the most people, take the most slaves, r.ape the most women, steal the most resources, create the most unsustainable economy - that is the European standard of what constitutes "intelligence".
And like a true kaffir bootlicker, you have accepted this warped, insane definition of what constitutes "intelligence". Even the very concept of "IQ", where does it originate from? What does an IQ test measure? What is it based on? What assumptions does it make? Does an IQ test in reality actually measure "intelligence"? Or does it in actual fact measure the ability to score on an IQ test? Is it in actual fact a meaningless, sounding loop created by a dominant culture as a way of attempting to codify its fleeting dominance in hard science?

Always try to think deeply and analyse critically before jumping to conclusions which have been prepared for you.
