    You are onto something here, especially the animation. It makes African mythology interesting. Keep up the good work.
    Oh,...as a South Sudanese, I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask for a similar video on Dinka Mythology. It’s very interesting and with a wide pantheon of Deities and Spirits/Spiritual totems in the form of animals and trees. There are also great books on this such as “Dinka Cosmology” by Dr. Francis Deng, “Divinity and experience” by Godfrey Lienhardt. You could also combine this with Nuer Religion (several books on this). Check it out, you won’t regret it. 😉

It is appalling to admit, but the textbook I was given for my class barely has more than half a chapter talking about African civilizations besides Kush and Egypt. Thank you for providing the content my students need for a better understanding of the world.

    Keep is flowing HomeTeam! With love from Sakhile “Ausar-Maat SetepenRa” Mashaba all the way in South Africa...please do something about how as African we all come from a common ancestor. People are so caught up their ethnic groups that even the very Bantus of South Africa tend to perceive themselves as different for each other, the Zulu tend to look down upon the Tswanas, The Tswanas against the Xhosas and so on. We need a powerful narrative which will clearly explain the migration from wherever and how we became diverse in language though the same people.

    I am a Muganda man. The story of Kintu and Nambi is an attempt to explain the origin of man. The moral is that God, who is referred to as "Gulu" is the creator of man.
    Another lesson is that God created everything, from earthquakes, to death, and someday, death will be overcame, and man will die no more.
    Correction: Walumbe is not a deity neither is Kayikuzi, and they are not worshipped as deities

      @@cortion730 to be fair, death was more of a warning in both stories. And yeah that would be a parallel, but the characters are so different. The woman in this story was a goddess. Death is personified. There is no devil. The whole fight wasn't part of the biblical narrative. This is more of a drama to explain why death is in the world, whereas the biblical narrative is just the beginning of a story. There are so many more differences than similarities.

But he never succeeds. .we got slot of earthquakes from the western rift valleys of lake Albert and George and that's where I grew up. And always knew earthquake was walumbe stricken to the underworld trying to come out and I would always sing earth be strong, don't let him out. Loll.
