Vanishing Cultures Trailer

With each passing generation, ancient knowledge and traditions are lost forever

The San people, more commonly known as Bushmen, are believed to be the earliest inhabitants of southern Africa. They have lived for 80,000 years as hunter-gatherers in the Kalahari Desert, and are well-known for their expert survival skills in a harsh environment. Their unique clicking languages and their astonishing method of healing through trance dancing have made them a source of worldwide fascination. But these peaceful people are not immune from the problems of modern society, and have faced oppression and eviction from their homelands for years.

Oh ok, cool.

And in the age of the New World, Islamic nations and China were making a shitload in the Mediterranean trade so they had no real reason to seek exploration of the New World.

opium, co chain and i mean in the olden days and i am not saying they did not do that but i am saying what might of driven some rulers over that edge was addiction. i did not finish reading the guy project but when he finish i will.

That's interesting. What kind of drugs do they reckon?

Are you talking about the age of the New World?

Really I think there were just different forms of colonialism. Muslims and China preferred expanding their empire and gaining land, kinda like Rome. While Britain and Europe preferred having merchant colonies which they could exploit for money without accepting the native peoples as citizens. But hey, I really don't know what I'm talking about.

the chinese did had the chance and the muslims also. someone in my class done a study saying that alot of the dark side of britain history is somehow related to drugs. within the british empire there are recorded records of drugs use by the ruler of the empire.

You could just say, without civilization this wouldn't have happened. Because I'm sure if the Muslims or the Chinese had a chance, they would have colonized in the same way the Europeans did. Shit like this happens in Africa and already happened in the New World because the people weren't civilized. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just the lack of resources to sustain dense populations in their entirety.
