Tapu And Mana

Decent Essays
The term I am choosing to define is tapu. Tapu are ritual restrictions and prohibitions set to protect the purity of mana (a spiritual energy or power) by making someone or something sacred or elevated far from the ordinary.Tapu and mana were both important concepts in religious life for the people of Oceania.

Of the many civilizations in Africa, I found Meroë to be the most fascinating. The people were incredibly talented, whether they be weavers, sculptors, masons, or merchants, the Meroë civilization had it all. Additionally, the Meroē civilization had wealth and military power, derived in part from their numerous trading connections, which gave them a reputation for great riches.

Truthfully, I knew little to nothing about African history

    Primary Source Homework Assignment 1 Though the African and Mediterranean people had distinct differences in their cultures, both contributed to human culture through the use of major water sources for the purpose of trade. The interaction with their trade partners resulted in the spread of technologies that created cultural shifts, and religious ideals, some of which influenced the development of the Hebrew monotheistic religion we know today as Judaism. Unlike the Mesopotamians at the time whose cities were trading centers (Lockard 54), the Northern African and Mediterranean’s cities were mainly administrative centers (Lockard 54.) Their extensive and wide-range trade routes through the Mediterranean and Red Sea (Lockard 56) provided not only an elaborate system to exchange goods, but also to exchange culture.…
