I borrowed this from a friend, please note the similarities between the hair style and the Afar people.

Carved some 25,000 years ago, the figurine is believed to feature the oldest realistic depiction of the human face. It’s dubbed the Venus of Brassempuy, and it is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing figurines ever discovered not only because of its beauty but because of its meaning. Thought to have been carved around 25,000 years ago, the strange yet beautiful figurine was discovered in France in 1892. A consequent analysis revealed the figurine dated back to between 23,000 to 26,000 years. It is so old that experts claim it is the earliest known realistic representation of a human face, one of the main reasons it is so important. The figurine was discovered in southwest France, in a cave near the village of Brassempouy. There are two caves near Brassempouy. The two caves – Gallery of the Hyenas and Pope’s Cave – are among the earliest explored Paleolithic caves in France. The figure was found in Pope’s Cave in 1894, together with eight more human figurines, and which may have been examples of still unfinished works. The Venus of Brassempouy was carved from mammoth ivory, and as noted by archaeologist Paul Bahn, the head is “unsexed, although it is usually called a 'Venus' or a 'lady.'” Https://curiosmos.com/carved- 25000-years-ago-this-is-the-oldest-realistic-depiction-of-a-human-face /

Gada system, an indigenous democratic socio-political system of the Oromo, in Ethiopia 🇪🇹

Gada is a traditional system of governance used by the Oromo people in Ethiopia developed from knowledge gained by community experience over generations.

The system regulates political, economic, social and religious activities of the community dealing with issues such as conflict resolution, reparation and protecting women’s rights.

It serves as a mechanism for enforcing moral conduct, building social cohesion, and expressing forms of community culture. Gada is organized into five classes with one of these functioning as the ruling class consisting of a chairperson, officials and an assembly.

Each class progresses through a series of grades before it can function in authority with the leadership changing on a rotational basis every eight years. Class membership is open to men, whose fathers are already members, while women are consulted for decision-making on protecting women’s rights.

The classes are taught by oral historians covering history, laws, rituals, time reckoning, cosmology, myths, rules of conduct, and the function of the Gada system.

Meetings and ceremonies take place under a sycamore tree (considered the Gada symbol) while major clans have established Gada centres and ceremonial spaces according to territory.
Knowledge about the Gada system is transmitted to children in the home and at school.

The Gada system has been inscribed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2016. It is the brainchild of Oromo from the Madda Walabu district of Oromia.

Oromo people regarded the system as their common heritage and as a major part of their cultural identity. It is the system with which the Oromo people have been governing themselves in a democratic way before 16th century .
