Language, Ethnic/Visual Arts & Symbolism:
Africa is in many ways, a Continent in all, that never does get any true recognition, for its many contributions, and onto the World scene too that is. It in many ways, is relegated to the back of Humanity even, and as with falsely believing perhaps, its Rhythms/Soul/Spirit, and 'Life force' even, are to be in many ways truly, perceived rather backward even {and attempts in all again, to claim that Ancient Egypt, was very much 'Middle Eastern' and in its everyday/daily ways that is}.
The first major contribution of Africa to the World scene {and mainly via Egypt too}, has to do with Language in itself actually. For it was in Egypt, where many of todays famed Languages {and such as the Semite Languages (Lower Egypt), the Afro-Asiatic Languages (and such as Hebrew even, and arising in all again, in 'Middle Egypt'), and finally even, the Semitic Languages too (and such as Arabic, and and Upper Egypt)}, do arise in all actually. You do then have other Languages and such as Urdu, which do have their origins in all again, in Ancient Egypt (it being Afro-Asiatic), and in many ways even, other smaller unrecognized Toungues and Languages perhaps {and as with many a Tongue even, spoken by Native American Tribes and such as the Apache, or even truly again, that Victorian English, and one of the far more popular versions of English in all ways even, can be said to be African, and as with its Grammatical structure that is}. Even Nubia in all, did come to influence India, and as with stating that, Uralic Languages and such as Bengali and Punjabi too, are not only of Nubian origins actually, but so are the Armenian Languages in all too really.
In many ways truly, not only is Language, one of the 'gifts' of Africa to the World {and as with alot of Slang even, and in the Americas too, having its origins in the Niger-Congo Group of Languages}, but in many ways truly, the mastering of these Languages, is truly in all again, one of the greatest pleasures, of living within Africa actually {that African Languages in all, are some of the most civilized to be seen out there in all too really} {and that in all again, and as with 'Middle Egypt' even, Africa in all, responsible very much, for giving birth to Popular Imagery of Barbarian 'Whites' (and as with backward speech too that is), or even marauding Asiatics in all again (and as with poor speech too actually)}.

When it does come to the very study of Africa as a Continent, and as with its History even, there is often a tendency to present it from its ancient past {Ancient Egypt, Nubia and Libya too actually}, or even truly again, from Tribal groupings and such as the Yoruba, Igbo's/Cameroon-Bantu and Congo/Angola, or even finally again, from more or less the Modern, and endless meaningless talk of modern Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa too actually.
There is however, a much better way of presenting Africa, and to the rest of the World too that is {and as with saying that, the previous formations, speak too much of its 'Life force' (and something not well understood by most out there actually), and instead of speak in all, of its more or less popularized Cultural systems actually (and speak too even of its historical rhythms, souls and spirits too actually)}. To understand this {and as with African Cultural systems, heavily localized even}, is to not only speak of Ancient Egypt (and the birth of African Languages), but also in many ways truly, African Visual/Ethnic Arts (and as with they even, some of the most powerful in all, to be seen out there actually). In many ways, African Visual/Ethnic Arts, are highly misunderstood, and as with believing them Tribal, National or even Religious in nature, when in reality, they are heavily Urbanized actually, and speaking in all again, of not only Survival issues (and as with remaining upbeat at all times even), but in all again, Cultural systems in all, somewhat mainly religious actually, and calling for one, to live good and clean lives in all too really {and as with saying that, all this, was the very basis of life in itself, and as seen once in Dahomey actually}. In all, in an Africa where good work can be hard to come by, and a good income too rather hard even, to come across actually (and as with historically speaking too that is), these Visual/Ethnic Arts, have often been used, to simply keep one upbeat, and while hoping in all again, for success/wealth, to easily come to one actually {and as with they even, popularized all over the World today, and by many a European/German Cultural Institute too actually}. In all again, not only should the History of Dahomey, be associated with the International Image of Africa {and as with Ancient Egypt and Language too}, but in all ways too even, these Visual/Ethnic Arts, can provide inspiration for many around the World, struggling in poverty even, to create similar Visual/Ethnic Arts, and to simply get them going, and through their struggles and daily lives too actually.
When one does thinks in all, of just why Africa appears to suffer so much apparently, they often make false allusions in all, to its Languages (believed falsely backward), or even truly again, its Arts (and as with they even, falsely believed to possess, 'weird patterns' in all that is). In all though, the main reason why Africa does appear to suffer, is mainly in all again, because of its Symbolism {and as with Egypt in all again, remaining physically distinct even, and from the rest of Africa, and due to its unique Symbolism, and with Abyssinia too on the otherhand, mainly having to it, Christian Symbols/Images in all too really}. In all though, most of Africa has never truly had, proper Symbols in all, that one could truly identify with {and with Africans in all again, seeking out European (Mercedes Benzes), Italian (fashion suits or shoes even) or even American Symbolism, and in the attempt, to create core African Identities perhaps (and as with saying that, Christian Symbols in all, do highly work in Abyssinia, and even better perhaps, than in Europe in itself actually)}. In all again, for many an African out there, it can be recommended that, turning to Morocco for inspiration and on all kinds of Symbols, is truly a good way, to getting started even, and on creating a proper International Image and in all too really {and as with Morocco even, believed said to possess numerous Symbols/Images, and that many an African today, would be a fool to miss out on, and in the attempt even, in helping the average African in all again, associate such Symbols/Images in all, and as with Wealth too for instance that is}.
In all too really, the best way in all again, for most out there to best perceive Africa Internationally {Ancient Egypt and Language, Dahomey and the Visual/Ethnic Arts, and finally Morocco (and not heavily Westernized South Africa either), and Symbolism/Images in all too really}.
