    Yet you have a black mask as your profile. you know who does mask black people. We were the birth place of mask making. The arabs did not even have that in their culture especially the wooden figure you have in you profile. You still see we are the only people on the planet that still make those wooden figure. No one does only us.

    Thank you. I am a Yoruba man myself and I can see my mom's features in many of the sculptures from West Africa that you showed. Most especially the last piece. My mom's nose was narrow with a more subtle flaring at the end. My nose is a definite mix of my mom's and my dad's. I have almost a distinct straight symmetrical line running down the middle of my nose, but with a wider gradation of flare. I also have a bridge which is often common in West African peoples. Although my mom's bridge was even more subtle than her flare. Sometimes people wonder why west African facial art has slanting eyes. Aside from parts of the Yoruba tribe actually having a slight slant upwards towards the temple, the hair styles often cause the eyes to be pulled upwards in such a manner that calls more attention to the slant. Additionally, younger tighter Yoruba skin is firmer and lends itself to such a slant. So much culture, do much art, and so much wisdom. Thanks for sharing your wonderful video.

    Yeah, I've noticed that slanted eyes exist splattered across Sub-Saharan Africa. African dna has been noted by geneticists; mostly without external admixture, as being the oldest, most diverse, and complex in the world. Outside of Africa, other ethnicities incomparably are said to only represent mere subsets of this diversity. For geneticists it reaffirms that all mankind at some point had his origins in Africa.

But that doesn't stop people emigrating from Egypt back to Africa or West Africa as the case maybe. Even though, some histories maybe obscurd the remnants of people's origins are always reflected in their oral histories, traditions, languages and arts.

That shows that people in the West migrated from the East/North East. Also there has and still is a lot of interbreeding between the different tribes so there's really no typical looks from any area. Many Somalians and Ethiopians are mixed with modern pale Arabs; hence their foreign looks.

    Excellent presentation of the two histories of our cultural history. You have done a splendid and well informed knowledge of the subject matter. I am a teacher who teach art especially African and African American art. Many of our young children are not exposed to the historical contributions that were made by ours ancestors who culturativated the world. It is wonderful to see you doing and making an impact on education in our young people. Thank you and God bless you.

    There are ancient oral traditions in Senegal from our ancestors that describe their migration from the Nile River, I don’t know. I am very proud to be black, to be West African, to be African. I love our people. Our own civilizations even if we completely disregard Egypt are great on their own.

    I also think the notion that stylized or abstract African art is less sophisticated than African realist art, is an ethnocentric, Western European assumption. Abstract does not equal primitive! It's merely a different way of viewing spiritual life and the external world. Peace be with you.

    The Ife and Edo people to this day share very similar culture and language with dialectical variations ditto, the arts. Let it be known that their ancestors built the pyramids in Egypt and their remnants can still be found in modern day Sudan. Their ancestors fled to West Africa from Egypt by way of Sudan. And so the similarities between Egyptian arts and those of Ife and the Benin kingdoms both of Nigeria is no coincidence. Thanks for the wonderful video, more grease.

    This probably speaks for itself, but I'm gessing I should assume that these statues were originally painted and the paint wore off with age? How were these painted? Realistically? Decorated? Or did this also depend on the culture?

    The egyptian sculptures are not representing "east african" people like somalis but north african people which resemble more arabs. then of course there are nubian and other nilo african sculptures which represent people which are related to somalis and ethiopians. But Nefertiti had more a north african / mediterranean appearance.

So is Bini, and the sculpture of other tribes! could you imagine how the sculpture would gleam in it's days right after being cast?
