I need to do a deeper dive bc MiniMinuteMan himself would be the first to tell you that you shouldn't blindly trust archeological and anthropological videos posted to youtube (or worse, tiktok), but his recent video on the "Green Sahara" period, where 8 thousand years ago the Kiffian culture lived in what was a lush savanah and they painted pictures in caves of people swimming in the lakes that had formed then and there were pictures and evidence of all the animals who also lived there at the time and they had a cemetery where they buried people with honors

And then when the Sahara dried out for a time and the Kiffian people left two thousand years later there was water in the desert again and the Tenerian culture came in and lived where the Kiffian people had lived and the Tenerian people had jewelery made from the bones of animals that had come back and they were also swimming in the lakes and they buried their people in the same Kiffian cemetery and they buried a mother and two children together so they were hugging each other eternal and they were buried with flowers that could only have come from the mountains so someone climbed those mountains so they could bury their people on a bed of flowers and

In the city of In Gall, Niger, men from the Wodaabe tribe dance and sing at the Gerewol festival just as a massive sandstorm hits. The Gerewol is an annual courting festival where the men try to look as beautiful as possible so they are chosen for mates by Wodaabe women. The women can select up to four men, and a man if not chosen, will be very lonely for the next year. The Wodaabe may be related to the ancient human groups that lived in the Gobero area thousands of years ago. (© Mike Hettwer)

And like we didn't even know either peoples existed until like twenty or so years ago. The Gobero cemetery was found by paleontologists looking for dinosaur fossils, no one expected to find evidence that two unrelated human cultures existed in the same place at different times and the second people decided that where the first people buried their dead with honors was a lovely place to bury their own people with honors two thousand years later 😭
