Chapter 167 Cultural Extinction
East Africa, compared to the entire world, Africa is also a desert of civilization. The splendid ancient Egyptian civilization has supported the long history of civilization in Africa.
But Ernst never regarded Egypt as part of Africa. When he thought of Africa, Ernst would subconsciously exclude all of North Africa. The vast Sahara Desert was like a Milky Way, dividing the entire Africa into two world.
The indigenous people in the East African wilderness were not the civilized world in Ernst's eyes. They were so wild and wild that Ernst felt that they were integrated with the vast African continent.
Conscience-wise, Ernst was unwilling to break the indigenous lifestyle of dancing with animals for thousands of years.
However, without Ernst, there would be other colonists who would break the tranquility of this continent, so Western colonists are the real destroyers of this world.
They forcibly pulled Africa into the gears of the world. Before their arrival, these indigenous people had no concept of human society. They followed the law of the jungle just like the animals in the East African wilderness, and True pure thinking, they are rich in the most primitive and wild thinking.
The colonists gave these indigenous worlds the lies, fraud, selfishness, greed and all the evil deeds of the so-called civilized world.
But they did not educate them, but handed over the great ideas and beautiful virtues of human sages to these indigenous people.
Of course, Ernst is not a good person either. As a veteran who has been whipped by society for decades, Ernst also has a dark heart.
Now Ernst wants to completely erase the traces of the existence of these indigenous people in East Africa. It is very simple to destroy the traces of the existence of the indigenous people in East Africa, especially in the grassland area. A wildfire can burn all traces of the existence of the indigenous people in East Africa.
However, Ernst’s main target this time was not these indigenous people, but the Arab civilization that truly left traces of civilization in East Africa.
There is a large amount of Arab civilization heritage in the East African colonies. Arabs, Persians, Indians and even the Ming Dynasty in the Far East have visited the land of East Africa.
India, Persia and the Far East are nothing to worry about, after all they are just passers-by in East Africa.
The Arabs are the ones who really took root in East Africa. There are a lot of traces of Arab civilization throughout the East African coast and the areas close to North Africa.
These include the buildings and cities left by the Sultanate of Zanzibar, which are just the tip of the iceberg, and also include areas in Kenya and Buganda that were deeply influenced by North Africa.
Even in the twenty-first century, archaeologists can still unearth traces left by the ancient Arabs in the ruins of East Africa.
The uniformly halal buildings are quite eye-catching in East Africa. Many of them are products of the Middle Ages and were considered cultural heritage in previous lives.
However, Ernst was not a person who cared about cultural relics, especially those whose existence may affect the future legal laws of East Africa.
People always like to conjecture, and many people like the term "since ancient times". There used to be many cities built by the Arab civilization in East Africa.
In his previous life, Ernst had reason to believe that some Arabs would use this as a basis to ask Dongfei for an explanation.
Not to mention the 21st century, this kind of thing is very common now. For example, a bunch of countries in Europe claim to be the successors of Rome. If the French and Germans are claiming it.
Then Italy is dreaming of restoring the Roman Empire, which is a wishful thinking. Everyone knows that Italy says that Rome cannot be preserved. Is it possible that the entire Mediterranean coast will be ceded to you! Some people in Italy are crazy because they want to eat swan meat.
The Turks are just funny clowns. Eastern Rome was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire. As a result, the Ottoman Empire now also claims that it is Roman orthodoxy. The Germans have accepted part of Roman cultural heritage. You, the Ottomans, are a completely foreign civilization, a complete enemy of ancient Rome. You have left no way for the Eastern Romans to survive, and even their culture has been exterminated. How can you be so embarrassed?
Moreover, Türkiye not only wanted to use the banner of Rome, but also was obsessed with Arab civilization. Later, it also engaged in Pan-Turkism, which really jumped up and down.
So, with the development of the times, outrageous things will only become more and more outrageous. Ernst is just patching it up to prevent future criticism from countries outside the region.
As for East Africa, all historical sites have been destroyed. In the future, East African history books will replace the United States as the thinnest one. Ernst does not care.
Even if the United States in its previous life brought cultural relics and culture from all over the world to the United States, it would not change the contempt that people in the Old World have for American history and culture.
There is no need to hide our ears in East Africa, which has a shorter period of time. It just has no history and culture. Let’s admit it. Let’s openly admit that East Africa is a suture monster.
Fisher's job was just that, directing demolition operations in Dar es Salaam.
All the buildings left by the Zanzibar Sultanate were demolished and then built in German style. This work was also carried out in areas such as Mombasa and Buganda.
In the future, new cities with German style will replace typical Arab buildings such as mosques and become a new window for East Africa's external exchanges.
It was a complete accident that a "high-end talent" like Fischer came to Africa. The "Stuttgart Evening News" was actually opened by Ernst. As the rate of German immigration slowed down, in the spirit of success and failure After three strokes, a recruitment advertisement was published in the newspaper.
I originally thought that East Africa would not be attractive to urban Germans. After all, the wages offered were not high, and Africa was rumored to be so bad in Europe.
But Ernst underestimated the living conditions of the lower class in this era. Even in cities with relatively developed economies, there were still craftsmen like Fisher who could hardly take the trouble at home.
However, don’t imagine that you can recruit a large number of workers by advertising. The vast majority of Germans are still willing to live in Europe, and leaving their hometown is a helpless move.
Moreover, there are not so many jobs in East Africa to accommodate these workers. Fortunately for Fisher, the construction industry is open everywhere, which means that the technical threshold is relatively low.
The industry in Europe is currently in a saturated state, and the low technical threshold means it is easy to be replaced. In addition, Fisher has no education and relies entirely on ancestral experience. He also happened to meet a boss with no conscience. These combined factors led Fisher to lose his job and seek employment in East Africa.
There are probably not many unlucky people like this in Germany. Even if they wait a little longer, they should be able to find a job. However, Fischer's family still has three mouths to eat, and they can't afford to wait.
In addition, the southwestern region of Germany is indeed a key area for East African immigrants. With farmers groups immigrating to East Africa as examples, Fisher's impulse to develop in East Africa further deepened.
