英文原文

The venerable Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga is the most culturally significant site in Murang’a County, for it is considered by the Agikuyu (Kikuyu) people to be their ancestral origin. Needless, perhaps, to point out is the fact that Agikuyu are the most populus and distributed community of Kenya’s 45 cultures. While not in the limelight as one would expect of this shrine, it holds great historical and spiritual importance in Kikuyu mythology and culture. The old name ‘Mukurwe’ refers to revered fig tree that was present at the site, symbolizing strength and continuity.

In days of yore, elders would gather at Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga to perform important ceremonies such as blessings for good harvests, rain, and protection for the community. Today, Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga is not only a key cultural heritage site but also a place of interest for visitors who want to learn more about Kikuyu traditions, mythology, and history. The site has a series of neat traditional Kikuyu huts and structures that depict how the Agikuyu lived in the days gone by.

According to the Agikuyu tribal legend, that has remained changeless, consistent and continuing, we are told that in the beginning of things, when mankind started to fill the earth, Gikuyu, the founder of the tribe, was called by the Ngain, or Mugai, the Divider of the Universe, and was given as his share the land with ravines, the rivers, forests, and game. Gikuyu and his wife Mumbi are main figures in Kikuyu mythology, and they are said to have been blessed by Ngai at this very site. At the same time Mugai made a big mountain which he called Kiri-Nyaga (today’s Mount Kenya), as the resting place when on inspection tour, and as a sign of his wonders.

He then took Gikuyu to the top of the mountain of mystery, and showed him the beauty of the country that He had given him. While still at the top of the mountain, the Mugai pointed out to Gikuyu a spot full of fig trees (mikuyu) at the centre of the country. He gave them dominion over Kikuyuland, a vast area bound by the four landmarks of Mt. Kenya (Kirinyaga), Ngong Hills (Kiri Mbiruiru), the Aberdares (Nyandarua), and Ol Donyo Sabuk (Kia Njahi). He commanded him to descend and start his lineage at the selected place aptly dubbed Mukurwe wa Gathanga.
