BEYOND AFRICA!

In Antarctica, a remarkable natural phenomenon known as Blood Falls occurs at Taylor Glacier. First noted in 1911 by the Australian geologist Griffith Taylor, this unusual “flowing blood” has fascinated scientists and explorers for over a century. The striking red liquid appears to pour from the glacier’s edge, creating a surreal and almost otherworldly sight against the stark white ice.

The red color comes from iron-rich water trapped beneath the glacier for more than 1.5 million years. When this water emerges and comes into contact with oxygen in the air, the iron oxidizes—essentially rusting—and turns a vivid, blood-like red. Despite its dramatic appearance, this phenomenon is completely natural and offers scientists insight into the unique chemistry of subglacial ecosystems.

Blood Falls is not only visually stunning but also scientifically significant, providing a rare window into life and chemical processes in extreme environments. Its otherworldly appearance, combined with its real geological and chemical basis, makes it one of Antarctica’s most intriguing and iconic natural wonders.

An interesting tale beyond Africa!

During a robbery in Zimbabwe, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank, "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you." Everyone in the bank lay down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept" - changing the conventional way of thinking.

When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her, "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a r**e!" This is called "Being Professional" - focusing only on what you are trained to do.

When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school), "Big brother, let's count how much we got." The older robber rebutted, saying, "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!" This is called "Experience."

Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications. After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him, "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank." This is called "Swim with the tide" - converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage.

The supervisor said, "It will be good if there is a robbery every month." This is called "Killing Boredom" - personal happiness is more important than your job. The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million.

The robbers were very angry and complained, "We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!" This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold."
The bank manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market were now covered by this robbery. This is called "Seizing the opportunity" - daring to take risks.

So who are the real robbers here?

NB: This is not a real life story.

Disrupting The Negative African Narrative

We are sick and tired of western propaganda that negatively portrays Africa. Africa has a rich cultural heritage and amazing feats that have been performed both in the past and present that isn’t being highlighted enough. Tales of Africa provides the avenue to put out content which corrects the distorted view people hold about Africa and also highlight amazing happenings and places that make Africa a gem of a place.
