Relics (school of Americanista Historic Studies)



Relics, are something, most today, never do really think about, and even going as far, as to confuse them really, with Antiques, or even, Artefacts truly. Artefacts, known in many ways, speak really of, objects truly, that tell us, rather intimately even, whom a people (often ancient in their ways), truly were perhaps. They in all, truly embody a people, in an object, of one kind, or another [but today, often only perceived, from the 'Aesthetics' point of view really]. Antiques though on the otherhand, consist truly of, olden day objects, still existing in all, as they pretty much, did, in their time.

Relics, unknown to many really, speak of actually, cultural activities [deemed primeval often], that have been practised [in a Region too really], from even, the ancient days themselves. Cultural practises, passed down by Century really (and not Generation), and in many ways truly, connect us, to the ancient times, as with they, having never truly really, changed at all [as with us in all really too, strongly even, identifying, with the ancients themselves even].

Below, will be presented, various cultural practises (primeval even) [and Relics in all too], that truly, do connect us, to the ancients, and very much too also, to the Regions, one does live in [as with in all, fitting in really, to anything, happening, in and about too really].

North America: The Lake



Historically, life in North America, has always revolved, around the Lake, with it seen, as a place really, to Swim, go Canoeing, or even, as simply, a Meditative spot, one can resort too. In all, Billy Budds, true hiding place really.

South America: The Library



In South America, life truly, has in many ways, revolved around, the Library [as a place, of Solace, Fun, and even, engaging chatting too even]. A life, based around, reading all kinds of works (as with self-improvement basically), and progressing in life too, based around, all this really [Library here, does also include, the 'movie library', amongst, other such libraries even too].

Europe: The Cathedral



In Europe, life has always revolved, around the Cathedral, and primarily, as with Meditative Prayer really [and not, simply, just Prayer really]. Yet still too really, the Wedding, has in many ways too, highly defined, European life, as has Morning/Evening/Night church services (of all kinds), and finally even, Festivals/Celebrations [and Galas even too], and of all kinds too really.

Africa: The Market Square



The 'Market Square', unknown to many, has its origins, in the African 'world' [Ghana Kingdoms, and especially too even, the Ashanti/Akan peoples], and was taken, to Europe (the UK really), by Ashanti/Akan immigres, to the place [in the mid-late 19th Century]. In many ways, the 'Market Square', has traditionally always, been a place, where Africans, met friends and outsiders really (especially political), to their 'Squares', where one too, heard the 'latest', in all forms really, of developments, and finally, as with Timbuktu even [and with it, once being a center, of World Trade too even], where one, could buy, the most, interesting, of all things really.

South East Asia: The Temple



In South East Asia, life has truly, always revolved, around the Temple. It being, a place for prayer [and the offering, of 'thankings' really (and not alms)], a place too, for community get togethers, and finally even, as with evening seances, a place to hold, all forms and kinds, of meetings and classes even, for the benefit of all [and running even, late, into the nights too really].

East Asia: Martial Arts Schools



In East Asia, life truly, has always revolved (unnoticeably even), around, Martial Arts schools. 'schools' too, which heavily figured, in East Asian political life [as with even, all forms, of security really], and places too, where one went to meditate really (and seek out, the advice even, of a trained 'master' really, on all kinds of things); and finally, as with the Dojo even, not only a place, to seek out, a physical education really, but also too, a place, where all forms of Texts (ancient and modern), were stored, and deemed too, rather beneficial, to their populaces.

The Middle East: Madarassas



Madarassas, often commonly seen, in the Islamic world really, take, a rather interesting approach, in the Middle East, with the conceptualization really, of 'Higher Learning' [in the form too, of the Institute really, and not, the Institutional]. 'Higher Learning' here, encompassing too, Night School, Evening Classes, or even, the rather famed in all, Technical Institute too really [and the saviour in many ways, of Africa today really]. Madarassas in all, were places, where one met new friends (and people in general too really), learned all forms, of interesting Knowledge (including, Esotericism, or even, Highly Practical Knowledge too really), and finally, places where one, could get, all kinds of help needed, in an endevour (or pursuit really), of any kind [as with Research materials even, or even too really, Monetary funding really].

[In Italy, while life, mirrored that of Europe, it however was mainly really, based around, the Church (and not Cathedral), with the Church too, as a form or kind really, of Learning Center truly. This too though, was also accompanied, by the worship, of certain Greek & Roman gods, such as Apollo, who in all, as with the Egyptian Gods, taught/enlightened/educated one, on all forms, of Knowledge really (from Love, to Sexuality, or even, Money too really)]

Afrique: The Fire Camp



The Campfire, has in all, been a rather, highly culturally spiritually, way of living, seen in Afrique (through the ages). In many ways, as with, the traditional tribes [and Cushitic too really], seen in the place, life, was heavily based around, the Campfire, as a meeting place really, to speak, and talk, on all kinds of things really. Campfires too, that went on, through most of the night, ending usually, in the early mornings [5:00 a.m], with life in general, in Afrique, often for many, beginning by 10:00 a.m, and ending, by 4:00 p.m. The Fire Camp on the otherhand, as a cultural relic really, does have its origins, with Americanistas in Afrique, but also adopted too, by the Victorians, in Kenya [with the Fire Camp too in all, falsely believed, a way of life even, seen in Europe, and North America (instead, of the Cathedral, and Lake too really)]. The Americanista Fire Camp, was one where, one simply lived in (partly), studied within too really, and also, engaging in all forms, of religious practises (Osiris based too) [which including, Hunting even]. The Victorian Fire Camp though, was one, where one ate, the most interesting of foods, partied, with all kinds, of surprise guests [which eventually, made Kenya, a top tourist destination, as really with, the different kinds, of peoples (surprisingly), one would meet] [including, top scholars, to movie actors even], and in general, engaged in all forms, of camaraderie, from, book readings, to watching 'films' (of the projector kind), to engaging in prayer service [along the lines, of the modern Mass], and finally even, forming relationships, of all kinds really [including, the International (work based) even]. In all really, a place, where one met, all forms of people (as with they, popping in), and giving rise influentially, to all forms too, of late-night bars and clubs, seen all over Afrique, today.


[Do note, that all the above really, is how, life has truly, been lived, in the ancient past, and not, based around, 'Recreation', as many today, often, falsely imagine, or believe even too really]
