dc.description.abstract |
Oral traditions and indigenous knowledge of the Limpopo Province in South Africa suggest a meteor
event occurred in the area several decades ago. This relatively recent significant meteor event with
associated features may have contributed to a revitalization of 13th century ancestral geomythology, also
based on an astronomical event, and to an ideological transformation that augmented a vast sociopolitical
belief system in sub-Saharan Africa. |
