Undoubtedly the most obvious and frequently discussed tree is the baobab (adansonia digitata ). It’s prehistoric appearance provides for one of the most dramatic landscapes Africa has to offer. They are said to be the oldest living relic of ancient times, possibly around before the birth of Christ. The name baobab derives from the Egyptian name ‘Bu hobab’, given to it by Cairo traders in the 16th Century. Dr David Livingstone referred to the baobab as ‘that giant upturned carrot’, an apt description. It also reminds one of the root system of a tree, hence the colloquial term of the ‘upside down tree’.Click here for more.

The History of Bows.

Bows and arrows have been close to man’s hand from the Stone Age to modern times. They are familiar objects to both children and adults, rather than objects only seen in museums. Toy bows still feature in letters to ‘Santa’ and are often bought as play things for children, (and adults), in much the same way as cave men probably made toy bows for their children. Serious hunting bows and sophisticated archery bows are becoming more popular as sportsmen are returning to more traditional ways of hunting and to the sport of archery which is a greatly contested event in the Olympic Games.
