Well no wonder their civilisation disappeared, if all they did was make bizarre terracotta figurines....

It's amazing the likeness they got of this guy 2500 years ago!

>Conditions there are hard. Murky water sloshes from the pump, and the solitary lightbulb in the main bricked-lined hut is the only one within 100 kilometers (62 miles). At night, owing to the heat, the researchers have gotten used to sleeping under the night sky, as wild dogs howl in the distance.

----------------------------------------------------

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do whats right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The government at the time (2,500 years ago) instituted a “teracotta trade”, artificial market with the expectation that people engaged in making teracotta statues and trading in those statues would not be engaged in “climate changing” activities like farming and herding.

The NOK culture is famous as the originator of the NOK NOK jokes which swept around the world.

One theory about the disappearance of the NOKs occurred when neighboring tribes, tired of the inanities raided NOK villages and said:

Nok, NOK
Who’s there?
Destroyer
Destroyer who?
Destroyer whole tribe, bozos.

Some 2,500 years ago, a mysterious culture emerged in Nigeria. The Nok people left behind bizarre terracotta statues -- and little else......

What ? No wheel ? No multi story buildings? No indoor plumbing ?..

Oh Sorry---that was the folks to the Nok's North...sumtim called the Club Med...Minoans and their like....
