@ Mr Tyrus, as an anthropologist u shud know.





I remember learning in class 3 that Masais believe that they fell from heaven with their cattle and that the Nyamwezi of Tanzania believe that they came from the moon.
Most Bantus are said to have originated from Congo area, I remember hearing someone say that specically kambas originated from Katanga in DRC.


Is there any substantive research that has been done to prove this? Are there any similarities in the lingo spoken there?

I know the Kamba language is spoken in TZ and the Kenyan coastal strip

Cannibalism has been with us for long. and by us i mean all humankind. growing up in Githurai there was this home called 'kwa githu' (belonging to githu) who was rumoured to eat whoever crosses his compound n pple avoided the hole radius from his house for years, i think they still do. whether true or not, whoever came up with the story must have had some knowledge of existense of cannibalism. You cannot make this stuff up like Jeff says

Everyone looked forward to attending these classes back when kids grew up, why kenyans later on develop hatred to other tribes, I do not know.

I just saw some clip on youtube about Gikuyu, Mumbi, the 9 daughters and the Akamba.

So, apparently there was a 10th daughter who got impregnated by her nephew and Gikuyu was not amused so he kicked them out of Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga to which they went and formed their own clan, the Akamba.

I tried finding the tales of the Akamba origin but no Mkamba friend of mine knows any.

Does anyone have a different version of the Akamba origin?

What are the tales of origin for the other Kenyan tribes?

going by what we know and hear about kaos, this could have happened. i am not saying it happened smile smile
