[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Horse manure! You really need to educate yourself on both the Tassili n'Ajjer rock art in general and then those pieces Ba associated with current Bororo Fulani cultural traits before you further discredit yourself. [IMG]http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/9496/bovins2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/1142/saharabov.gif[/IMG] [QUOTE][i] Among the paintings of the Tassili, Amadou Hampaté-Ba recognized many of the Fula rituals, including the Kumen initiation into the mysteries of pastoralism [b](silatigi)[/b]. One of the scenes at Ti-n-Tazarift depicts the [b]lotori[/b], or annual lustering of cattle. There, painted on the side of a scene of people bathing cattle and passing them through a U-shaped brush gate, is a large abstract design representing the [b]kurgal kaggu[/b] -— a ritual veil, an important symbol to the Fula herders, the Kaggu (LeQuellec 1992:60-6). Shaped like a hand, it invokes the ancestral [b]Kikala[/b], with the four fingers, each painted in one of the colors of the cattle (yellow, red, black, white), representing the tribal clans (Dyal, Ba, So,and Bari). The thumb represents their vassals (Dieterlen 1965, at 325). [/i][/QUOTE]This is one of the prime Saharan painting's Ba used. [IMG]http://images.encarta.msn.com/xrefmedia/sharemed/targets/images/pho/t240/T240946A.jpg[/IMG] The "calf rope" used to divide a pastoral Fulani encampment is very noticeable. Evidence like this shows that Fulani have local antecedence that far outweighs any distant infusions or accretions. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=005083#000031 [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Frenchman: [qb] ...
