Speaking of Futurism, let's chat about #IndabaMyChildren. This girly was first published in 1964. But it is highly futuristic! [Thread]
Mutwa speaks about the first race of human kind. The AMARIRE..(Mis)Led by Za-Ha-Rrellel the wicked.
Za-Ha-Rrellel starts by creating an army of metallic Tokoloshes by an incantation commanding lifeless iron to create a shape and life!
The metallic creature had Legs like those of a grasshopper, a pair of dragonfly wings, and a rat-like shining metal tail with a crystal sting with dark green poison!
Za-Ha-Rrellel discovered the secrets to immortality. He was ruler of the most fantastic empire, the world has ever seen. Recent quests on immortality:
In The empire of AMARIRE men lived in shining Golden huts.
Check out Necropolis-the Golden city of the dead and the city of El Dorado.
"These AMARIRE people could move from place to place in accordance with their occupants wish." I strongly believe he was referring to TELEPORTATION! Not just any means of transportation.
There was no need for lighting a fire
When all one had to do was fill the pot with whatever one wanted to eat
And command the pot to boil. Here, the Great Vusamazulu Mutwa is obviously talking about Artificial Intelligence, such as Alexa from Amazon, smart appliances, wifi..
"No longer was it necessary to walk long distances. When all they had to do was stand outside their huts and wish themselves wherever they wanted to go." Uber maybe? Or.. Self driving ubers?
"No bother to use one's hands to lift a drinking pot or food to one's lips, when all one did was to command the pot to pour its contents down ones throat." https://twitter.com/jamescthorne/status/1104421337236299776?s=19
He sent out his metal beasts to capture wild beasts and crush them into a Pulp, and from that Pulp he created new creatures, resembling the human being. He earmarked these creatures as slaves, entertainers and workers.
The tree of life was furious at Za-Ha-Rrellel. To punish him, he ordered clouds to gather and cover the Earth to obstruct the sun. Za-Ha-Rrellel was not shaken, "he created an artificial sun to float below the clouds that shone with a brilliance that our the real one to shame!"
Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa was a f****** God!!
