Of all the African tribes still alive today, the Himba tribe is one of the few that counts the birth date of the children not from the day they are born nor conceived but the day the mother decides to have the child. When a Himba woman decides to have a child, she goes off and sits under a tree, by herself, and she listens until she can hear the song of the child who wants to come. And after she's heard the song of this child, she comes back to the man who will be the child's father, and teaches him the song.  When they make love to physically conceive the child, they sing the song of the child as a way of inviting the child. When she becomes pregnant, the mother teaches that child's song to the midwives and the old women of the village, so that when the child is born, the old women and the people gather around him/her and sing the child's song to welcome him/her. As the child grows up, the other villagers are taught the child's song. If the child falls, or gets...

 On March 25, 1898, Major Frederico Isabelo 'Belong' Abaya, led the so called "Ikkis ti Kandon" (Cry of Candon), drove away the Spaniards from the town and beheaded the Spanish parish priest (Fr Rafael Redondo) and two visiting friars.  He served in the Philippine Army under Gen Manuel Trinio, and later became guerilla commander in southern Ilocos under Col Juan Villamor of Bangued, Abra Province. He commanded the Igorot warriors from the Cordilleras of northern Luzon to fight the Americans in Caloocan. He and 10men were at the mountain village of Guilong, Galimuyod, 11 miles east of Candon, when they encountered a 30-man patrol of Company G, 33rd Infantry of United States Volunteers, led by 2Lt Donald McClelland. Abaya died (May 3, 1900) with two of his men and three were captured. Guilong has been renamed "Abaya" in honor of the hero. The Igorots soon fell out with the Philippine Army and became U.S. allies, acting as guides for American troops in the rugg...

A team of scientists has discovered the largest collection to date of mammoth skeletons in one place, just outside Mexico City. The researchers have counted more than 200 individual mammoths to date—and believe there are still more to discover. In 2018, the government announced the development of a new Mexico City airport at the Santa Lucía Air Force Base, north of the city. People have found mammoth remains in the northern part of the city and the wider region since the 1970s. So, Pedro Francisco Sánchez Nava, the national coordinator of archaeology of the National Institute of Anthropology and History, anticipated he and his colleagues would find more of these Pleistocene-era fauna in the area. "We never assumed that there was going to be the quantity that we are looking at now,” says Sánchez. Just a few months ago, the team had identified 60 specimens. In September, the researchers confirmed counting more than 200 individuals. This find beats previous record-breaking collection...

 On November 18, 1978, Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones leads hundreds of his followers in a mass murder-suicide at their agricultural commune in a remote part of the South American nation of Guyana. Many of Jones’ followers willingly ingested a poison-laced punch while others were forced to do so at gunpoint. The final death toll at Jonestown that day was 909; a third of those who perished were children. Jim Jones was a charismatic churchman who established the Peoples Temple, a Christian sect, in Indianapolis in the 1950s. He preached against racism, and his integrated congregation attracted many African Americans.  In 1965, he moved the group to Northern California, settling in Ukiah and after 1971 in San Francisco. In the 1970s, his church was accused by the media of financial fraud, physical abuse of its members and mistreatment of children. In response to the mounting criticism, the increasingly paranoid Jones invited his congregation to move with him to Guyana, where he...

 Palm oil is one of the 21st century’s most contentious agricultural commodities, but its relationship with humans goes back thousands of years. Pauline von Hellermann looks into the humble origins of this now controversial cash crop. Oil palm–human relations in West Africa: a long history For thousands of years, the oil palm – indigenous to West Africa – has had an intimate relationship with humans. An explosive expansion of oil palm groves throughout western and central Africa in the wake of a dry period around 2,500 years ago enabled human migration and agricultural development; in turn, humans facilitated oil palm propagation through seed dispersal and slash-and-burn agriculture.  Archaeological evidence shows that palm fruit and kernels and their oil already formed an integral part of West African diets 5,000 years ago.  Oil palms were not only protected as a valuable crop, they also grew well in cleared and burned areas. Abandoned villages and farm camps often becam...

 There are probably some really boring things about digging up ancient dead bodies, but the reward probably comes in when you find the weird thing — the mysterious thing. Like mummies with golden tongues, for instance. The Ancient Egyptians were a treasure trove of unusual funerary practices — for at least half of the 6,000-or-so years they buried their VIPs, it's obvious they were perfecting the process of preserving the soft tissues of their physical bodies, as well as streamlining the travel necessities for the deceased's journey to the afterlife. As their culture grew, so did the stories around the paces the dead would be put through in the Great Beyond. The process of mummifying somebody was long — it took a bunch of specially trained priests with detailed knowledge of human anatomy around 70 days to complete. It was also expensive, which is why it's the wealthy and royal ancient Egyptian people archaeologists find mummified in sarcophagi, t...

Archeologists spend their days uncovering buried treasures from ancient civilizations. Some of their findings are only worth a few dollars while others are absolutely priceless. Here are seven of the most expensive artifacts that can be found around the world: 1. Greywacke Statue Tribute to Isis If you visit Egypt, you’ll see strong ties of pagan beliefs dating back for millennia. One of the most iconic Egyptian goddesses is Isis. She is a deity associated with healing, rites of the dead, and motherhood. In about 664-525 B.C., a greywacke statue was carved as a worship relic. It’s believed that it was put in a public place in Alexandria where worshippers could ask for blessings of healing and comfort. It was acquired by a French noble family sometime in the 19th century, and was then sold at auction in a feisty bidding war that raised the price to nearly $6 million! 2.

 Archaeology has roots dating back to the early civilizations that were curious about the past. The Greek historian Herodotus (c.5 th  century BCE) was the first to systematically study the past and may have been the first person to examine artifacts. Since then, archaeologists have uncovered thousands of artifacts from different periods of human history. The entries on this list are some of the oldest artifacts ever found in their category (instruments, tools, sculptures, etc.). Some of the oldest artifacts on this list predate  Homo sapiens  and were most likely created by early human ancestors such as  Homo erectus. 8. Venus of Hohle Fels Photo source: Wiki media The Venus of Hohle Fels figurine is the oldest sculpture depicting the human figure. It is the oldest “Venus figurine” – any Upper Paleolithic sculpture of a woman – and dates back to about 35,000 – 40,000 years ago. It was discovered in 2008 in the Hohle Fels cave by an archaeologi...

 Located in one of the most poverty-stricken regions in the world, Somalia is one of the poorest countries in sub-Saharan Africa.  Poverty in Somalia has been an enormous issue for more than a century but has recently been slightly alleviated due to increased foreign aid and government stability. Here are ten key facts about poverty in Somalia. Severe droughts and extreme weather make life for people living in poverty in Somalia even more difficult.  Historically, food security in the country has been an issue due to limited rainfall and extreme drought. In 2017, nearly six million people in the country were considered acutely food insecure. Around a quarter of a million people have been displaced due to the most recent drought. Somalia is one of the least developed countries in Africa.  Somalia lags behind the rest of Africa when it comes to the availability of basic infrastructure. Only around half of the country’s population has...
