Credo Mutwa’s Human Origin Story

Credo Mutwa claims to tell an origin account that people repeat across Africa, beginning on the slopes under Mount Kimar. In his telling, huge objects come with roaring noise, dark smoke, and flame, and beings step out of them. He says they hollowed two caverns, lit one green and one red, and drove humans inside. Later, two men meet without a shared tongue, so a greeting is taken as an insult. He describes poor workers who enter pits daily to cut stone and who tell a great visitor that they are wretched. A woman, he says, shows people how to be intimate, and pregnancy then ends the noise of that labor. He also claims that people called the Chahri eat brains, and that skulls reported by researchers are ones he connects to that belief. He offers this as an account of sky beings, daily digging beneath the ground, and the start of human difference. Nothing in the recording turns the story into a verified historical result.
