Let alone many legends about Africa, there are so many false and misunderstood facts that we don't know where to start. But you have to start somewhere, right? Let's see, another pleasant journey awaits you in this blog. …
When Africa is mentioned, poverty and shortage always come to mind. On the one hand, this statement is correct, but not entirely.

In fact, Facebook has over 100 million active users from Africa.
After all, it is the oldest settlement in the world. If we start with fossils and human remains dating back millions of years, scientists state that the first human species migrated from Africa to other parts of the world, and thus human life began on other continents. In other words, Africa is not a continent that you can ignore. …
Africa is the second most populous continent after Asia. In other words, about 16 percent of the world's population lives in the African continent. Also, there is not only an African language in Africa. This common belief among the people does not reflect the truth. More than 2,000 languages are spoken on the African continent. Karueein University, one of the oldest universities in the world, is located on the African continent, which has an ancient history in terms of education. This university was founded in Morocco in 859.

If you ever go to Africa one day, you should definitely visit Lake Retba, which is a magnificent natural wonder; because Retba Lake is a world wonder worth seeing with its pink color.

By the way, we have a very similar side to Africans. Evil eye beads have an important place in Turkish culture.
