The two guys up there are quite something else, Anyway I believe omonnakoda is mistaking his assumption to the writer's words. The Sculpture (comma) from the place(with description) Note; reason for the description best known to the writer. But the 6th century was clearly referring to the place. |

GreenRose22: OK, then, so be it. However, Feel free to get in touch, whenever your curiosity comes back hunting again (just in case, don't forget to mention GreenRose22 from NL ). It is worthy to say it is not everyone you meet online that is interested in amorous relationship of any kind. A good stranger may be your angel. You just never can tell! All the very best! |

baby124: It is an ongoing process, but that's not really the point, is it ? The lil ethnic jingoist was getting a bit too excited. Best the facts are laid out to him eh... if we r to go along the lines of potential new discoveries, the most likely outcome would be the discovery of artifacts from proto West African groups. Overarching ppls with no direct links to our present tribal groupings. More like proto settlers who over time would have fathered various Niger-Congo groups. Ones that nobody could really claim. |

FemiMaduka: sotall: Judybash93: CsRockefeller: Hermionegranger: The white men never met an igbo-ukwu "civilisation" what they met were unclad and primitive igbos who lived as barbarians The so-called igbo-ukwu "civilisation" was only discovered by chance later on in the 20th century as an archeological sites of just one town(hardly representative of the Igbo race) whose advanced image making occured and ended eons ago. |

rabzy: Many Ife art works in bronze, terracotta, quartz, stone carvings, etc. are actually centuries older than the 15th century. For example, the screenshot attached below is of a picture (of an Ife bronze head) which I personally took at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC. Its description reads: "Ife Head of the Yoruba --- This sculpture reveals the artistry and metalworking expertise of the Yoruba people. It was cast from a 12th-century sculpture excavated at Ife in Nigeria in the 1930s. On loan from the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California, Berkely, 5-3867". Moreover, I have in fact read on Ife artworks which are older than the 12th century. Let's be guided! 1 Like 2 Shares

The crown worn by that bronze statue shows that it is a statue of an Ooni of Ife. That crown is similar to the one worn by Ooni in the picture below.
