Nok is a village in the south of Kaduna State, Nigeria. The discovery of terracotta figurines at this location caused its name to be used for the Nok culture, of which these figurines are typical, which flourished in Nigeria in the period 1000 BC - 500 AD.[1] The artifacts were discovered in 1943 during mining operations.[2] The archaeologist Bernard Fagg investigated the site, and with the help of locals discovered many other artifacts.[3] Iron smelting furnaces were also found at Nok.[1] Occupation dates far before the first iron smelting. A sample of carbonized wood found in the "main paddock" at Nok in 1951 was dated to around 3660 BC though there are questions about the reliability of this conclusion.[4]

Wearing Thin
by: Further Seems ForeverThis is the last time I'll try to reach you
and my guess is, you'll just ignore me.
Without a passing glance
without the slightest sigh
without moving your hands
without the softest cry.
If I'd say
go your own way, I'll be with you
make mistakes and I'll forgive you
home is waiting here for you when you return.
Rain reveals the foundation
and this one's wearing thin
and shifting in the sand.
And the water does its damage
with its endless beating pulse
heralding the end
Without a passing glance
without the slightest sigh
wihtout moving your hands
without the softest cry
If Id say
go your own way, I'll be with you
make mistakes and I'll forgive you
home is waiting here for you when you return
This is the last time I will try to reach you
and my guess is that you'll just ignore it.
just ignore me.
Go your own way, I'll be with you
make mistakes and I'll forgive you
