  • They couldn’t remember their ages but they REMEMBER THIS!!
    E.S. and Vim Man visit an old community to sit with elderly to begin their expedition into the origins and divide of the African continent by interviewing and establishing a connection with the indigenous elderly of Ghana. In those days the main focus was farming, fishing and hunting. They cannot recall when they were born but could recall their life style and extra ordinary occurrences. Some encounters were out of this world. Could their interaction be the reason for Africas demise? The journey begins as we dive into unchartered territory.
    Interviewer: E.S.

    Township: Libi, Northern Ghana

    The old lady walking in slow motion as the music played, that moved me. Her pride and poise in old age, her wrinkles telling us so many things we need to know, her smile. Reminds me of my Kenyan grandmother. This was not only a beautiful video, it was powerful in so many different ways. We can learn so much from our elders. Can we talk about how beautiful the lady in the Ankara headwrap and dangling earrings is!!!

    Living life without all the modern conveniences has given them a long life. Watching madame walking, her strength and such a warm sweet spirit. My great grandmother said everything that we need for sickness can be found in nature.

People who wondered what Africa was like, wondered what their homeland was like. Wondered how their Ancestors survived in West Africa, the West Coast along Africa, to be precise. Thank you for letting us see a little taste of our past. Thank you so much. you will definitely go as far, as far as the good Lord takes you😊

    In today's western world people value being young, and use all sorts of potions and surgeries to hold on to what age naturally takes away. In these older and wiser civilizations the light and peace that radiates from these elders can be felt across time and space as it radiates through this CZcams video. The smile and the dignity which these elders have can not be purchased or borrowed, they are qualities that they have earned through a life well lived. Thank you so much for this video, which has so touched my heart. Blessing to you all.

    The first medical school in Ghana opened its doors in 1962 . Prior to this my mother tells me that medical care was provided by missionaries who established hospitals and clinics the doctors were the white missionaries and most Ghanaian medical staff were nurses . In Nigeria the first medical school opened in 1948 .There were very few hospital and clinics so most rural people used native methods except in serious illness then they would d try to transport the person to the nearest hospital.

    First let me say, thank you!! I think you have a beautiful home & family. I normally watch everything I can find on “supernatural” things. Ghosts,aliens,bigfoot etc… I found your page about 3 or 4 days ago & I watched soo many of your videos & I Love love love what you guys are doing there!!
    I thought I was going to have to wait for a long time to see this video. I found myself sitting here smiling while you were interviewing those beautiful people. They live so simple & they are soo happy. The elder lady (I’m sorry I don’t know her name) as she was talking she just seemed like she was soo happy, happy to talk about her self, her way of life. And how they can sit on the floor, not a soft cushiony sofa & not complain about how hard the floor is or what they don’t have, but they seem to just be grateful for what they have & to be alive!
    When I heard you tell about how you were, in your younger years, learning everything about aliens, I felt like you were talking about me lol. I am the same as you.
    I found your video after saying “I’m going to stop obsessing over this stuff , & then I found you. I felt drawn in.
    There are so many things that makes sense & a lot that does not when I hear what the hunters said about them. For many many many years I have wanted to know about this & I would love to be where you are now.
    Ok, I’ll stop talking now lol I just felt like I needed to tell you that I love what yall are doing & thank you for doing this.
    Much love to you all💞

    I was intrigued with the stories of the Timbum sp? From their perspective, and while l appreciate the work you put into the videos, l had a thought. Would it have been to much to ask if they could have sketched or make a rendering of the Timbum to at least have a clearer idea of its likeness?
    As always keep up the excellent work you do on the farm, and the videos. All the best to you and your husband. 🙏🏾
