| 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. | en_US |
