The sculpture, from the 6th century southwestern Yoruba city of Ife, shows a man wearing woven pants and a hat, sitting with his legs crossed and holding an instrument.

0m0nnakoda:

This means the sculpture was sculpted in Ife in the 6TH century
Simples

The goal, scored in the first half, was Ronaldo's 10th of the season.


The subject is


The goal

NOT
The first half or Ronaldo

Lostz:
lol. I am done with you. education in Nigeria is really something else. someone in secondary School should be able to explain that sentence

tartar9:
I've never read of anytime an artifact was returned or asked to be returned to the South East.
Our white exploiters through the ages couldn't find anything worth stealing there.

0m0nnakoda:

I am not done with you ,you won't get away with such a cheap escape.
According to you that sentence is about Ife not the sculpture i.e. Ife is the subject right?

Well you raised some valid points but please note that if evidences have not been found dating back to that time, it doesn't mean it never happened? Just trying to be objective here..

Please note that the geographical location of Ife, SW and most part of sub saharan Africa is our nemesis. Hence most artefacts weathered and decomposed easily hence leading to the dearth of artefacts for more accurate carbon dating Do you realize that one of the longest strands of DNA was found among the Yorubas indicating one of the oldest hominids in recent times. Also it was discovered recently that traces of DNA of a subgroup of sub humans older than neatherhadals are found in the DNA of Subsaharan Yorubas and Mendes. This clearly tells you something about how old the chosen race is?The igbos also may have artefacts that is old too but the deep rainforest never encourages preservation.

That's a food for thought for you, young lady.

NB: Egypt, Libya and ME are mostly in arid regions Desert) and hence preservation is excellent there...

Lostz:
English is really giving you problem. go get another tutor

Hermionegranger:
Fun fact :Did you know the people of Igbo Ukwu in Anambra State started casting copper and bronze works even before Ife and Benin?

geosegun:


Wrong!!! It refers to about 500 to 600yrs After the Death (AD) of Christ.
It clear you guys here just waste time trolling without learning...life is far more than cramming book at wasting time in Social media.

deltateam:


No.

1500s is 16th century.

0m0nnakoda:
none of it was worth stealing

OfoIgbo:
Clearly looks Yoruba.

But there is something fishy about this..
I am not aware of any 6th century collection of Ife art works. It is much more likely to be a 16th century stuff that a sixth century work.

Also bronze work came much later. Around the 6th century, it would have been brass sculpture

0m0nnakoda:

Address the specific sentence in question from a grammatical or syntactic perspective and stop bluffing
The subject of the sentence is

THE SCULPTURE


The sentence functions to tell us about

The Sculpture

Its temporal and geographical origin

It does not function to tell us anything about Ife

GOFRONT:
When will they return Abacha loot??

SonofDevil:
When ooni said ife was the cradle of world civilization people never believed.this sculpture left in the 6 century now we re in 21st century meaning it left ife almost 2000 years ago

Lostz:

the 6th century there was to describe/characterize Ife.


the car, parked in front of that white building... is it the building that is white or the car? is the car the subject or the building?


the 6th century southwestern Yoruba city is phrase used to describe/characterize Ife.


I am not here to teach people

Powersurge:


Don't close your mind to knew knowledge. No knowledge is final. This just challenged what has been known.

BanevsJoker:

6th Century AD refers to the 1500s.

klax:


And you were born then bah? Or just reading those colonial bulls**t history book that hidden all thruth and gave us oackaging craps?

BanevsJoker:

It's a simple error, I meant the 500s.

OfoIgbo:


But the Mexican government is not an archaeological authority. I probably know a lot more about these things than the Mexican government.
Buhari might as well claim that Usman Dan Fodio invaded Hausaland in 1066. The facts will not tally with such a claim.

The same situation exists now, as I know there is no Ife artwork collection of the 6th century

AbuTwins:


This are the uncouth and ill-bred youths we have in this country!
I am a responsible family man and i still do have parents so you know i'm not a boy!

So what is the use of graven images and statues?

0m0nnakoda:


Why 6th century Ife why not 8th century Ife
Why not 2020 Ife

"A phrase used to describe " is an adjectival phrase not the subject

In this instance it describes what ?The subject which is the sculpture

Guy you really are ridiculing yourself

The sculpture was sculpted in Ifevin thr 6th century that is the message.

We are given information About the sculpture Not Ife


There is NOTHING there telling us why or how 6th century Ife is different from 2020 Ife

geosegun:


OK, while I agree with the 'error' acknowledgement, I do not agree with the adjective "simple", additonal 1,000yrs error is not "simple". However I like your acknowledgement, as no one is above mistakes, not even me.

OfoIgbo:


Of course I know

BanevsJoker:
6th Century AD refers to the 1500s.
