Built among boulders in the dry and arid Dogon county in Mali, at the foot of an incredible 500 meter high escarpment, lies a small village called Bamba.
Everything here is parched as the dry season reaches its peak, leaving only one sacred pond full of catfish.
Every year, an ancient fishing ritual called Antogo is carried out in the lake – a spectacle that is worth seeing. Fishing in the lake is strictly prohibited throughout the year, but the day Antogo is celebrated, hundreds of men jump into the lake grabbing fishes with their bare hands.

“Sophia” is a humanoid robot designed by Hong Kong firm & granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia (!?); ‘she’ says ‘she’ would like to start a ‘FAMILY’!
Posted in 2017 with tags Ethics robot sophia, Sophia, Sophia robot saudi arabia citizen, World's first robot 'citizen' Sophia says she would like to start a FAMILY and claims all droids deserve to have children on November 25, 2017 by theboldcorsicanflame- Sophia is a lifelike robot designed by Hong Kong firm, Hanson Robotics
- During an interview this week, she said that family is ‘a really important thing’
- She even went so far as to say that she would name her first daughter Sophia
- The interview comes a month after the robot was controversially granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia
Not everyone is happy with the Sophia’s citizenship, with some describing her as ‘bizarre’ and others referring to it as ‘Terminator in real time.’
Others have pointed out that Sophia has ‘more rights than women in Saudi Arabia’.
Saudia Arabia is one of the world’s most oppressive states for women, and only last month lifted a ban on female drivers.
After hearing her appearance, the Arabic hashtag #Sophia_calls_for_dropping_guardianship began trending.
The Saudi guardianship system means every woman must have a male companion with her in public at all times.
This is usually a family member, who also has authority to act on her behalf.
‘Sophia has no guardian, doesn’t wear an abaya or cover up – how come?’ one Twitter user wrote.
