  • The Hamer are an African Tribe in the Lower Omo Valley of Ethiopia.
    We spend the day at the main market of the Hamer Tribe in Turmi, and I keep making cultural mistakes left and right. Sometimes when you travel, you make mistakes... even if you have good intentions.

    The coffee tea is made from the cover of the coffee berry. Coffee bean is located in the berry. The fruit is dried on the sun and the bean is then extracted. The fruit covering is used to make tea. Here in other part of Ethiopia, we mix it together with the coffee to give it a better taste.

      @@Bone_Thug What utter nonsense.
      They simply think about things, value things or ideas, engage in rituals & beliefs & practices, etc. not overlapping too much with what YOU and your pals value or engage in or think about every one of your waking hours.
      To some of them, your "level of consciousness" and the BS you engage in every hour of your day... it's atrocious, superficial, and artificial, too.
      We act and think about and engage in things we grow up being surrounded with.
      And, of course, it is a given that because materially they are poorer --- with less manufacturing capability, less precision tools, less schools to formally educate their kids, etc. --- that they don't have as many shinny or smooth or expensive gadgets that you do. Or don't they don't have the cars or cell phones or games or foods you're used to.
      But the number of NEURONS and neuron connections in their brains are exactly like yours.... Or maybe even more than yours, in particular... because the immediate environment they live in is tougher, more marginal, and so perhaps they need to think more and more concretely... in order to survive... so they likely need more neuron connections....

    Mike extremely thank you for the video. The one you bought from the market from the little lady trying some English is called "coffee husk" it is a cover over the coffee bean. In areas around Harar it is used as a tea, you have been there, if you had asked about "hojja ashara", they should have told you. I am learning a lot about my home country, Ethiopia, leave alone the world from your videos.

    5:38 Those look like coffee husks. The dried (sweet) berry of the bean. My parents had a grain mill in the Philippines (rice corn, but sometimes coffee or chocolate), and those look exactly like the husks/chaff you get after processing the beans. We usually mix it with soil to use as fertilizer (same with rice husks, corn cobs can also be re-used as mushroom growing media).

    • @purplepheasant4776
      @purplepheasant4776 Před rokem

      What do you mean by ethnocentric? He should do better to respect the ppls cultures and manners rather than just jumping into their way of life. For example, some tribes view eye contact or handshakes as disrespectful. No wonder he almost passed out eating salt rock and was made fun of for sitting on the wrong side in the house. He is getting drunk in public. He could definitely do better.
      Ethiopia is a very poor country because it fought against colonization and Western societies benefit from the ostracism and sufcering of Ethiopia. Ethiopia has more pyramids than Egypt but less tourism. Their headrests/stools, art, and culture are similar to Egypt of antiquity but then black ppl have to listen to Europeans lie and say that Egypt was not a black civilization and not teach African history and contribution as a prerequisite to American History. Africans were sculpting and smelting metals long before the european "bronze age". If ppl learned about the culture before the Greek and Roman empire then ppl wouldn't be so enamored by videos like this or accredit false timelines and technologies that didn't originate with European influence. We could also learn about sustainability. Truly whenever western culture needs inspiration or to learn they return back to indigenous ppl to take what they have and don't give nearly enough if anything back.
