Earth Castles, Togo 🇹🇬
www.theafricanhistory.com
The Batammariba people, whose name means "those who model the earth", live in
north-eastern Togo and are known for making remarkable mud tower-houses (Takienta) which have come to be seen as a symbol of Togo.

Many of the buildings are two storeys high and those with granaries feature an almost spherical form above a cylindrical base. Some of the buildings have flat roofs, others have conical thatched roofs. They are grouped in villages, which also include ceremonial spaces, springs, rocks and sites reserved for initiation ceremonies.

Nature is strongly associated with the rituals and beliefs of society and the architecture of the tower-houses are a reflection of social structure, its farmland and forest and the associations between people and landscape.

The DOGON people of West Africa were among the tribal groups that moved away from the Nile valley to settle in the mountainous areas of west Africa, over 3000 years ago. This had uttered the ancient way of life of the tribal nationality which is now part of Mali.
The initial settlements of the Dogan people was around the Bandiagara region. The Dogon people had in ancient times, excelled in many artistic cultures(like the Igbo Ukwu civilization), including architecture, mining, ancient science, especially astrology and medicine. According to the encyclopedia Britannica, " the earliest known textiles in sub-saharan Africa are the baste fibre fragments of/[from] Igbo Ukwu (9th century AD), and clothes found in Tellem caves of the Bandiagara region of Mali(11th century or earlier).
'None of these artistic manifestations appear as a beginning of any kind; each appears as fully developed in style.'
The Dogon had moved away from the Nile civilization, wandering around the desert to settle in the Soudan(west Africa) , starting from 3100 BCE. This was as a result of the onslaughts of nomadic groups from western Asia, who had began to take over the coastal areas of north Africa from the Nile delta, moving westward, towards leptis magna, in what is today Libya and then Algeria. It was around this time that the vast sea which was about the size of France, around where we have the Sahara today, eventually dried up, giving rise to unrest and wandering groups, that moved restlessly, not building settled societies in stone as they used to, but constructing makeshift shelters that over time became a part of the traditional architecture of some groups; a situation that was to remain a part of those who survived, into the early medieval era and at the time western Europe arrived Africa in search of proceeds to develop Western Europe, out of the remaining dire effects of the 'dark ages'; a period when, after the fall of Rome, Europe degenerated back to primitive life (c. 565-1095).
According to Historian, Chancellor Williams (in 'The destruction of black civilization', which is a book all Africans need to read), "these tremendous victories of the white men were not achieved by conquest. It was achieved by default, on the side of a race, too preoccupied with the immediate present and less with its future."
This situation has not changed very much with most of the tribal groups around Africa, that were dispersed from the Nile valley.

От всички африкански племена, които все още съществуват, племето Химба е от малкото, за които рождената дата не е денят, в който децата са родени или заченати, а денят, когато майката решава да има дете.
Когато жената Химба решава да има дете, тя сяда сама под някое дърво и започва да се ослушва, докато не чуе песента на детето, което иска да дойде. След като я чуе, тя се връща при човека, който ще бъде баща на детето, и му пее песента, докато той не я научи. Когато се любят, за да заченат физически детето, те пеят песента му, за да го поканят да се всели в плода.
Щом забременее, майката учи акушерките и старите жени от селото на песента на детето и когато то се роди, те се събират около него и пеят песента му, за да го посрещнат. Докато детето расте, всички от племето научават песента му. Ако детето падне или се нарани, някой го вдига и пее песента му. Когато детето направи нещо прекрасно или преминава през ритуалите на пубертета, хората от племето пеят песента му в знак на почит.
В племето Химба има още един случай, когато "песента на детето" се пее на човека, на когото принадлежи. Ако някой Химба извърши престъпление или нещо, което е противоречи на социалните норми на племето, селяните го извикват в центъра на селото и общността оформя кръг около него. След това всички пеят рождената му песен.
Химба вярват, че грешките се поправят не чрез наказание, а чрез обич и припомняне на идентичността. Защото разпознае ли собствената си песен, човек няма нито желание, нито нужда да прави нещо, което би навредило на друг.
В брака хората пеят личните си песни заедно. И накрая, когато човек от племето Химба лежи в леглото си, готов да умре, всички селяни, които знаят неговата песен, идват, за да му я изпеят за последен път.
