  Nok Civilization - The...

  The Nok civilization is one of the most fascinating and mysterious ancient cultures of West Africa. It flourished between approximately 1500 BCE and 500 CE, making it one of the earliest known complex societies in sub-Saharan Africa. The Nok people are best known for their remarkable terracotta sculptures, which provide valuable insights into their artistry, beliefs, and way of life. Despite their historical significance, much about the Nok civilization remains unknown, leaving archaeologists and historians to piece together their story from scattered artifacts and excavation sites. 
  The first discovery of Nok artifacts occurred in 1928, when British archaeologist Bernard Fagg came across a series of terracotta figurines in central Nigeria. These artifacts, found near the village of Nok, revealed an advanced artistic style that was distinct from any previously known African culture. The sculptures depicted human figures with intricate hairstyles, elaborate jewelry, and expressive facial features, suggesting a highly developed artistic tradition. This discovery marked the beginning of a deeper exploration into the Nok civilization, leading to further excavations that uncovered tools, pottery, and evidence of early ironworking. 
  One of the most significant aspects of Nok’s discovery was its role in the history of metallurgy in Africa. Archaeological findings suggest that the Nok people were among the earliest in West Africa to practice iron smelting, a technological advancement that contributed to agricultural development and societal growth. The presence of iron tools indicates that they engaged in farming, hunting, and trade, supporting the idea that Nok society was well-organized and economically active.

  Spid, Bid and Herman are about to blast off for an adventure on the moon. But what will they find when they get there? Is the moon really made of cheese? And does a moonster called Mr Cheezy Feet really live there?This audiobook features two songs: 'The Cheese Song (Mr. Cheezy Feet)' and 'Queenie'. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.
