AFS 1010
As I read chapter three, I discovered
Africa’s geographical and civilization along with the culture. There were three example in chapter three and Ali
Mazrui video of The Africans: Triple Heritage that were similar.
The first was
the first Cataract, the position of Africa and the detachment of the Arabian.That part of Africa was shaken off and
divided by the Rea Sea. In the video Ali Mazrui mentions some of the same as in
chapter three such as, there were several attempts to rebuild and create a
bridge or tunnel to connect the two together as one. During this period there
were several deaths with the failed attempts. This was one other reason to have
Africans believing that they were not a part of anything and less than nothing.
I found this very interesting to me and I learned that Arabs are just as much
Africans as Africans.
Second example I found interesting was the
Ali Mazrui spoke on the civilization of Africans and the landing of the Islamic
religion and the praying took place several times a day and then in which
direction was important. Now they had to pray toward Mecca, African has
established this many years before the Muslims arrived and determined to pray
toward Mecca.
Third example mention in chapter three and
Ali Mazrui was the different rivers that are in Africa and where they were. The
whole geographic make up of the continent of Arica. This was located close to
the equator and this would determine the climate and the rainy days and during
specific months of the year.
There was a river mentioned in chapter
three as well as the mentions in the video were the Isis River, this was one of
the largest rivers in Africa. It is known for its distance width and length
wise.
Finally, I will agree
with the three examples listed above. Ali Mazrui explained the cultures and geographical
makeup of Africana and some of the surrounding continents’ that the sea runs
through to connect and keep the similarities.
