Chapter 635 - The Maasai Tribe
In Xiao Peng's eyes, the most amazing people in Africa must be the Maasai people!
This race lives up to everyone's imagination of an African people: brave, passionateγγγγγγ Or rather, tough?
The Maasai and the VodabΓ© are the opposite, they are polygamous, they worship lions and imitate the way of life of the lion pack.
The difference is that the male lions will not encourage their husbands to marry more wives like the Maasai women, and will even use their savings to support their husbands to marry more wives from practical actions.
In the Maasai people, women need to build houses, women to take care of children, women to cook food, women to watch the house, and marrying more wives can share these tasksγγγγγγ
This is not the most awesome, the best thing is that Maasai people can not only have several wives, but men of the same age can even 'borrow wives'γγγγγγ Every woman here has to build her own house, and if any man wants to spend the Spring Festival with her, just go inside!
But Xiao Peng didn't have this honor. The reason has nothing to do with skin color, but because ------ both men and women here are circumcised! This is an ominous symbol, so you can't invite into the houseγγγγγγ
However, Xiao Peng witnessed the process of circumcision here, a boy was circumcised: he used the double-sided blade of a razor, did not sterilize, did not apply anesthetic, and was directly circumcised along the front of the little JJ!
In this process, the boy is not allowed to shed tears! If he sheds tears, he will be branded as a 'coward' for the rest of his life! Those are children who have not grown up!
It seems that the life of the Maasai people is inseparable from blood, and even their traditional costumes 'Shuka' and 'Kanga' are mainly red!
The Maasai and the Vodhabe are also the kind that are easy to distinguish, if you see a tribe in Africa, all of them are dressed in red, the women are bald, the men are full of pigtails, and they are wearing knives, logs, and spears on their bodies. There is no doubt that it is the Maasai people.
As for their lack of lower incisors, that is also the result of being extracted from an early age. Xiao Peng consulted, and the locals told him that it was for beauty, and at the same time, for γγγγγγ Easy to dome?!?!
Please, how bad is this Marseille medicine?
The Maasai and the Wardabe, like the Vodabe, are also nomadic people, but unlike the latter, they are only distributed in Tanzania and Kenya, and the population is not large, but it has played a vital role in the inheritance of the national culture of the two countries, the balance of the ecological and economic circle, and even the fight against colonial rule!
Despite the high level of development in the world, the Maasai have long maintained a very traditional way of life. Herding in herds all year round is dependent on the flesh, blood, milk and skins of the herd.
You can't find any water, electricity, or gas in the Maasai villages. In the eyes of the Maasai people, only cattle and sheep are wealth, and how many cattle and sheep symbolize the economic strength of the Maasai village or family. If you have more cattle and sheep, you can marry more wives and have more children, and your family will prosper.
To use an analogy: you have 500 cows? It's like you have a courtyard house in Kyoto, and you have 50 cows? You have a suite in the 5th Ring Road, you don't have cows? Poor bare, get out of the way!
If they want to marry a daughter-in-law, they just rely on cattle in exchange, ten cows for one daughter-in-law! As long as you have cows, you want to exchange a few for a few. Hey, it's not cheap, even if a cow costs 3,000, it costs 30,000 yuan for a daughter-in-lawγγγγγγ
The village of the Maasai is also very interesting, the whole village is a large fence outside, along the fence is a circle of houses made of cow dung, the fence and the cow dung house form two circles, inside is the open space, these open spaces are where the livestock live at night, and small livestock such as sheep and dogs are bombarded directly into the house to sleep with people, and almost all the houses smell of sheep's flesh.
Man lives directly on the ground, lying on animal skins, and next to it is a low wall made of cow dung, and on the other side of the wall is where the sheep liveγγγγγγ
Although many Maasai villages have now begun to integrate into modern society, receiving some tourists and selling some souvenirs, Xiao Peng really can't understand what is the use of them asking for money? A people who still insist on drilling wood to make fire, you let them spend money to buy a car to drive and play? Give them them and they won't drive!
And to say that they are the bravest people on the African continent, there are absolutely few people who disagree. Because they have the toughest coming-of-age ceremony in the world------ lion hunting!
Once upon a time, every Maasai boy was told by his father when he became an adult: "Son, when you grow up, it's time to fight the lion!"
Every Maasai boy who wants to become a real man must hunt a lion alone! There is even a local saying that the lions in the East African steppes will flee when they smell the Maasai people!
In recent years, the Kenyan government has even issued a ban on the Maasai from hunting lions in order to protect lions, and many people have breathed a sigh of relief for the poor lions.
It didn't bother the brave Maasai at the time, Kenya didn't let lion hunting? It didn't matter, we went to Tanzania, where there was no ban.
But one thing that is very interesting is that although all the Maasai men have the strength to fight lions alone, they are really not a hunter people who hunt wild animals for a living, and under normal circumstances, they don't even kill fishγγγγγγ As a nomadic people, they usually only drink milk and cow blood, and only eat beef during grand festivals!
In fact, on the African continent, there are not many people like the Maasai who like to drink blood, and there is also a Reddy Caicai tribe, but the Maasai people raise cattle and drink cow blood, while the Reddy Caicai people raise camels and drink camel blood.
But in a sense, the Maasai are also the 'strongest species on earth', because they have evolved extraordinary physical qualities due to their perennial life in the dangerous savannah.
Most of the Maasai are over 1.9 meters tall, have amazing bounces and quick reflexes. And because of the potential dangers of living on the grasslands, their naked eyesight can reach an astonishing 6.0!
Being tall, looking far, and bouncing high are the three characteristics of good physical fitness of Maasai people.
They also have a characteristic of high jump, only rely on the strength of the feet to jump, never bend the knees, jump straight up and down, some men have nothing to do, so they jump together to play, from a distance, it looks like a spring on the foot.
Among the Maasai people, it is not uncommon for both feet to be more than one meter in the air.
In their cognition, the closer they are to the sky, the more they can get the protection of the gods. It is no exaggeration to say that almost any of the Marseilles are brought out of the NBA at the 'spring leg' level.
Not to mention their running ability, we all know that Kenya and Tanzania are big countries in long-distance running, but they don't know that many sports stars of both nationalities are actually Maasai people. This is a people who are naturally good at runningγγγγγγ
Like the black girl who followed Xiao Peng, she was actually a Maasai person.
Her name is 'Uba Uba', well, in fact, her name has about thirty syllables, Xiao Peng really can't remember it, so he remembers this simplest.
She was bought back by Xiao Peng when he was in Libyaγγγγγγ
Many people think that African black corn is a good thing to do in the big DIAO, but in fact, many of them are knowledgeable, for example, Kafiza, who was killed by the Gauls.
Although Libya is really North Africa, but after all, it is a part of Africa, when Kafiza united more than a dozen African countries to prepare for the establishment of the African Development Bank and the African Central Bank, finance is ahead of industrial action, because the financial industry is the blood of industry.
So far, there is no industry in Africa.
Some people will say, isn't the whole world helping Africa now?
However, we have only seen stadiums, schools, shopping malls, and hospitals aided by the Chinese people, animal sanctuaries and rainforest reserves aided by the Stars and Stripes, ammunition and weapons provided by the Gauls, and universal values and cooking theories provided by the Eagle Nationsγγγγγγ
But even if it is to help a plastic factory, it would be fine!
This is really possible! But this one is not!
So Kafiza stood up and wanted to change the situation, unify finance and develop industry!
Kafiza, who was still the rotating chairman of the African Union at the time, proposed the integration of African currencies and the establishment of African central banks, and even took into account the large-scale capital injection of development central banks, the expansion of capital reserves of central banks, and even the stability of African financial markets.
This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people! As a result, the elites of African countries have expressed their support in various ways, saying that they will resolutely rally around the collective led by Kafiza and resolutely support the correct decision of the African Union!
It's a pity that Kafiza thinks about everything, but he doesn't take it into account------ the more he thinks about it, the more he will offend the big rascal. And this African financial memory has challenged the bottom line of several big hooligans.
Kafiza's act of forming a non-bank almost simultaneously offended the rights and interests of several major countries, especially Gaul, and if the financial integration of the AU was established, Gaul would suffer first!
You must know that almost all the banks of the former Gallic colonial countries were controlled by them, such as the countries on the Ivory Coast, almost all of them were puppets of the Gallic State! If finance is separated from Gaul, industry will be separated, and then infrastructure and mining will also be separated, and eventually the Gauls will not be profitableγγγγγγ
Next, the people of the Stars and Stripes were also seriously damaged, after all, they had a lot of mineral resources, and then the people of the Eagle Country------ the original Eagle colonies did the same.
If Cafiza's action was successful, today's Africa should be like mushrooming factories, but unfortunately they didn't wait for that time, and Sarkozy's classmates directly forced Cafiza.
