Sat Mar 26 08:37:08 EDT 2016 Slept from around two to eight. I feel pretty rested. Forty-nine and sunny today. Goals: - Walk No. - Work on static site builder Some. Call it "knockdown". Vacuumed, watered plants. Watched The Devil at 4 O'Clock on Netflix. It has its moments. I think I've seen it before. http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace "With its mathematical layout and earthworks longer than the Great Wall of China, Benin City was one of the best planned cities in the world when London was a place of ‘thievery and murder’. So why is nothing left?" "Benin City, originally known as Edo, was once the capital of a pre-colonial African empire located in what is now southern Nigeria. The Benin empire was one of the oldest and most highly developed states in west Africa, dating back to the 11th century." "Benin City’s walls were at one point 'four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops'." "When Europeans first came to Africa, they considered the architecture very disorganised and thus primitive. It never occurred to them that the Africans might have been using a form of mathematics that they hadn’t even discovered yet." https://www.researchgate.net/publication/256484008_Benin_City_before_1897_A_Town_Map_and_a_Map_of_the_Palace_Area_with_Description
