The article in this link http://www.jstor.org/pss/529465 talks about the high level of sophistication these people had in metallurgy, carbon steel! Some of the most advanced technologies in ancient times have been shown to develop independently by freaking Africans What if Africans went to visit Germany and taught them various arts and sciences, that would seem crazy wouldn't it :D :D :D What if In the 1950s Mathew G., an archaeologist, wrote "the architecture forms a distinct variant among the medieval Islamic culture." I assumed that the ruins of the sites I was investigating were the remains of Arab or Persian colonies along the coast... but gradually I have come to doubt: now I am beginning to think that the history of the coast in the medieval period is more easily intelligible if it was the history of an African culture gradually Islamized than if it is merely the history of Islamic colonies from the Persian Gulf." "Sometime in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries," he goes on, "the culture of the coast became integrally Islamic. But even if the culture had become Islamic, still it would seem to be Negro." The 14th century traveler Ibn Battuta said Kilwa was one of the most beautiful cities he had ever seen and the inhabitants were Zanj jet black. "Now, trek inland to the remote site of Great Zimbabwe, a fabulous "lost city," which reached its glory in the 14th century. Then, sift the sands of time to uncover the equally splendid culture of Africa's Swahili Coast. The fabulously wealthy center of the thriving gold and ivory trades until the 16th century, its cities now lie all but forgotten, buried under centuries of indifference. Reclaiming their past from a long tradition of racial prejudice and neglect, the descendants of these lost cultures are only now discovering the extraordinary achievements of Africa's indigenous civilizations. Actor Sam Waterston hosts this ten-part series that revisits ancient cultures on four continents. Dramatic re-enactments recall key historic events, and attractive location footage provides viewers with interesting information about the featured cultures. This episode looks at some of the trade routes established by the ancient, sub-Saharan tribes of Africa." (Less)

The 25 year old (More) This person by the name of Vinod Shaw was trying out for a part as an arab bank robber in the supernatural thriller "Visitors" being filmed on location in Bergen, Norway. The 25 year old amateur actor that claims to be from Nepal was acting completely inappropriate during a rehearsal test shoot at DNB Nor Bank on Monday May 7th, 2007. Vinod Shaw was misusing the prop machine gun he was using in the scene, he pointed the prop gun out the window repeatedly while laughing and smiling between takes. He saw a woman and several others jump back in fear and hit the ground because they were unaware that the film shoot showing a brutal bank robbery was being filmed inside the bank. Vinod Shaw can be seen and heard in behind the scenes footage laughing and smiling while commenting on how humorous scaring the pedestrians outside was. The film crew was unaware of this until viewing behind the scenes material after the events occured. The nearly 40 police officials including the SWAT team and sharpshooters may have come partly as a result of this persons unprofessional and completely idiotic actions. Several text messages were sent to the police stating that armed arab terrorists were inside the bank with hostages under gunpoint, these msgs came in just after the incident described above. The amateur actor later made false reports to the police and newspaper claiming that he was terrorized by the film company about finishing his scenes and he even said that murder threats were made naming his wife, all of which was completely made up to get his name in the paper and cause problems for the film company. Our film company (Angel Pictures) is still in the pre production stages of shooting our science fiction thriller tentatively entitled "Visitors" but because of all the false and inaccurate media attention we have hit some extreme obstacles. We are hoping that our gripping documentary film "Small Dreams evidence of a conspiracy" with a running time of one hour and fourty seven minutes will soon be released. What started out as a behind the scenes documentary showing the making of a supernatural thriller became a startling expose showing an elaborate police conspiracy against a science fiction film. If anyone thinks that they may be able to help with this matter please contact us. We are hoping that film distribution companies, cable networks, producers, directors and anyone else that may be able to help with the matter will come forward. You can read the four page article written by the film company explaining the truth in the matter, you can also view the dvd cover and still frames from the movie set at the following link: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/559942321wTQGfh Angel Pictures Film Production Bergen, Norway Mobile ph #47-988-61-764 Business ph #47-469-16-808 (Less)

It traces the deeply personal return of actor Arsinee Khanjian to Lebanon after a 28-year absence. Atom Egoyan at a public open lecture for the students of the European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2007 Atom Egoyan, (born July 19, 1960) is a critically acclaimed Canadian-Armenian film maker. Born in Cairo, Egypt, he and his sister Eve Egoyan (who is now a concert pianist based in Toronto) were raised by their Armenian parents in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. During his teen years, he nurtured his interest in writing and reading plays, finding particular inspiration in the works of Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter. It was also during his adolescence that Egoyan found unlikely inspiration for his future films by working as a hotel employee. He would later remark that preparing a hotel room and making a movie were similar in their creation of an illusion (an idea that would manifest itself most overtly in his 1989 film Speaking Parts, which takes place largely in a hotel). Atom Egoyan graduated from Trinity College in the University of Toronto, where he came into contact with Harold Nahabedian, a Canadian also of Armenian descent who was then the Anglican Chaplain of Trinity College. In interviews Egoyan credited Nahabedian for introducing him to the language and history of his ethnic heritage. Following his graduation, Egoyan joined Toronto's Tarragon Theatre as a playwright. In 1984, he acted as editor, producer, screenwriter, and director for Next of Kin, a film concerning issues of identity and Armenian heritage. Funded by the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council, it was his first feature-length film. Exotica (1994), an exploration of the interweaving lives of the various denizens of a strip club was first shown at the 1994 Cannes Festival, where it won the International Critics' Prize. Egoyan finally attained widespread international recognition and acclaim three years later, with the release of The Sweet Hereafter. A sobering adaptation of Russell Banks' novel of the same name, the film was honored with the 1997 Special Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, and Egoyan himself received Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Egoyan is based in Toronto, where he lives with his wife, Arsinée Khanjian, an actress who appears in many of Egoyan's films, and their son, Arshile. In 1999, Egoyan was made an Officer of the Order of Canada. Atom has directed three different opera productions. In 2004, Egoyan opened Camera Bar, a 50-seat cinema-lounge on Queen Street West in Toronto. Canadian actors such as Sarah Polley, Bruce Greenwood, Elias Koteas, and Don McKellar are frequent collaborators, as are cinematographer Paul Sarossy, composer Mychael Danna, and producer Camelia Frieberg. Atom Egoyan is the author of Atom Egoyan (1994) in collaboration with Paul Virilio and Patrick de Haas, The Event Horizon (1998) with Michael Tarantino, Michelangelo Pistoletto, and Declan McGonagle, Inside the Pleasure Dome: Fringe Film in Canada (2001) with Mike Hoolboom, Weird Sex and Snowshoes: And Other Canadian Film Phenomena (2002) with Katherine Monk, Subtitles: On the Foreignness of Film (Alphabet City) (2004) with Ian Balfour and Ararat: The Shooting Script (Newmarket Shooting Script Series) (2002) with Timothy Taylor. Atom Egoyan's films include Howard in Particular (1979), After Grad with Dad (1980), Peep Show (1981), Open House (1982), Next of Kin (1984), Men: A Passion Playground (1985), Family Viewing (1987), Looking for Nothing (1988), Speaking Parts (1989), The Adjuster (1991), Montréal vu par... / Montreal Sextet (1991), Calendar (1993), Exotica (1994), A Portrait of Arshile (1995), The Sweet Hereafter (1997), Felicia's Journey (1999), The Line (2000), Diaspora (2001), Ararat (2002), Citadel (2003), Where the Truth Lies (2005), Chacun son cinéma / To Each His Cinema (2007) and Adoration (2008).
