The Egyptians, the first ever intelligent writings and thousands of different art across Africa
In Africa you can be sure to find all kinds of diverse and different cultures, creatures and a very deep past. The past has captured the imaginations of many people across the planet, and Africa offers some that cannot be rivalled.
The first recorded detailed writings in Africa were those written by the Egyptians in 4000 BC. They showed some truly astonishing intelligence, built pyramids and had presented the world with an amazing civilization. Many scientists and academics believe that if you are to look back in time to decipher which was the first civilization on our planet, you should look at who had the first comprehensive writings, this means it would have been the Egyptians. Way back in the ancient times over one thousand decades ago, Africa looked very different. Fossils showed that they supported Homo sapiens, which are the same genus as us.
The African Countryside was as said, very different to the desolate plains it is now. After the ice age had happened at around ten millennia in the past, the land of what we call the Sahara Desert was all grassland. Thanks to land like this, the options for farming would have been easy. When you then think of where the continent of Africa is on our planet it is easy to see why the land became desert. These people would then have had to migrate to plains with more grassland. At three thousand BC, there were some cultures who had domesticated creatures like the humble mule to do farm jobs for them.
Africa has been celebrated for its completely unique art. Not to be found anywhere else on the planet, this completely diversified style of arts all over Africa is of amazing quality and difference. With so many peoples and different cultures everywhere you visit you will find a different type of art. The main emphasis that is generalised across the whole of Africa is the human figure. This generalisation of art is a representation of a loved one, a dead friend or family member or of somebody of great importance. The African speciality was Abstract art, they created much of it, but recently they have become quite skilled at creating pieces of Contemporary art~There are many kinds of art in the world, the Africans were originally Abstract artists but now create pieces of Contemporary art as well}~The African speciality was Abstract art, they created much of it, but recently they have become quite skilled at creating pieces of Contemporary art.
