Southern African cosmogenic geomythology ('following a star') of the Zion Christian Church

摘要

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 socio-political belief system in sub-Saharan Africa.
