Did you know anything about "utu" or existential harmony?

The Dogon people of Mali in West Africa practice one of the most complex and complete forms of human co-existential philosophies ever described. A peace loving people--believe in the African philosophy of Utu. An excerpt of their culture in excerpted from Wikipedia, narrates as follows:  

The Dogon are strongly oriented toward harmony, which is reflected in many of their rituals. For instance, in one of their most important rituals, the women praise the men, the men thank the women, the young express appreciation for the old, and the old recognize the contributions of the young. Another example is the custom of elaborate greetings whenever one Dogon meets another. This custom is repeated over and over, throughout a Dogon village, all day. During a greeting ritual, the person who has entered the contact answers a series of questions about his or her whole family, from the person who was already there. Invariably, the answer is sewa, which means that everything is fine. Then the Dogon who has entered the contact repeats the ritual, asking the resident how his or her whole family is. Because of the word sewa is so commonly repeated throughout a Dogon village, neighboring peoples have dubbed the Dogon the sewa people.

Who taught the world gender equality?

The Western world--a world steeped in barbarism and darkness until a few centuries ago, reserves the most vile descriptions and comments to any aspect of African culture. But just a taking a quick peep into culture and practices of the Dogon people of West Africa, one begins realize just how humanly and socially advanced African cultures were and are---when it come to social relations. Among the Dogon--according to this brief excerpt (lifted from the Wikipedia):

Most men---have only one wife, and it is rare for a man to have more than two wives. Formally, wives only join their husband's household after the birth of their first child. Women may leave their husbands early in their marriage, before the birth of their first child. After having children, divorce is a rare and serious matter, and it requires the participation of the whole village. An enlarged family can count up to hundred persons and is called guinna.

 

Africa is Nubia

Africa is Nubia---the name of the great ancient Kingdoms and civilizations that spread a long River (Nubia) Nile from its source on the shores of Lake (Azania) Victoria through Sudan, Ethiopia, present day Egypt to the Bibilical land of Canaan.

Ancient Nubia--now Africa, gave the world human civilization. This region and her people invented the art of writing, mathematics, medicine, iron smelting, religion, architecture, wine making and numerous other recorded and yet to be recorded skills.

Nubia was the source of the philosophies, values and traditions, that shaped and influenced the ancient Christian and subsequently--the Islamic religious doctrines. Without Nubia and her advance civilisations there would be no Christianity, Judaism nor Islam. Note that according to Bibilical texts, the leading patriarchs of the Christian and Judaic faiths namely Abraham, Moses, Jacob, Joseph and eventually baby Jesua (Jesus)--had at one time or another, to flee to Nubia (Egypt)--for their salvation.
