[QUOTE]Originally posted by herukhuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by kawashkar: [qb] Hi, With respect to Timbuktu, it is certain it was one of the main centers of learning of the Muslim world in the middle ages. But something even more important -I guess- is that unlike other places, the books of the Timbuktu's libraries still exist today. Who knows how many treasures are in there waiting for discovery. There is a project to recover those treasure in march already. [URL=http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/mali/mali-exhibit.html]web page[/URL] Now, I believe is important to consider African cultures outside the Muslim sphere of influence as well. I am fanatic of the study of less complex cultures, so I preffer to look down south in search of what, I believe, shows all the creativity of the Subsaharian peoples, particularly in arts. For me, the most interesting culture of Subsaharian Africa are located in Nigeria and Zimbabwe.Why? because they developed with less external influences and the arts of those regions are original and superb. Above all, I love IFE [IMG]http://cti.itc.virginia.edu/~bcr/africanjpegs/Yoruba/Ife_bronze_head.jpg[/IMG] KAWASHKAR [/qb][/QUOTE]Thanks! I am a proud native of IFE myself :cool: [/QB][/QUOTE]
