Reposted :"Namoratunga: The First Archeoastronomical Evidence in
Sub-Saharan Africa Namoratunga, a megalithic site in northwestern Kenya, has an alignment
of 19 basalt pillars that are nonrandomly oriented toward certain stars and constellations. The same stars and constellations are used by Oromo people to calculate an accurate calendar. The fact that Namoratunga dates to
about 300 B.C. suggests that a prehistoric calendar based on detailed astronomical knowledge was in use in eastern Africa before 2500 years. In fact, Oromo is the only people who had invented calendar for the first time. Only four society, Chines, Hindu, Maya and Oromo had ancient calender." Dr Tafa.

Welcome to Lalibela

Lalibela (ላሊበላ) is history and mystery frozen in stone, its soul alive with the rites and awe of Christianity at its most ancient and unbending. No matter what you’ve heard about Lalibela, no matter how many pictures you’ve seen of its breathtaking rock-hewn churches, nothing can prepare you for the reality of seeing it for yourself. It’s not only a World Heritage site​ but truly a world wonder. Spending a night vigil here during one of the big religious festivals, when white-robed pilgrims in their hundreds crowd the courtyards of the churches, is to witness Christianity in its most raw and powerful form.
