In the process, it creates a common thread that sews them back together as they left the ancient kingdom of Meroe circa 300 AD.
Cultural ceremonies of Ngurario, circumcision and warfare are covered in interesting detail that should incite the reader to carry out more research…
… AND,… DID YOU KNOW THAT THE MAASAI ARE GENETIC COUSINS OF THE MT KENYA BANTU?
