The Watcher of the South
Today we looked at the Watcher of the South. Which is a myth from a tribe called Xhosa in Cape Town which is in South-Africa. The Myth was about A god creating the world getting injured during a fight with a sea dragon and fearing that his creation would be ruined. The gods mother then creates giants to fight of the sea dragon but they die in the process, and to help the Giants the god's mother turns them into Mountains. These are known as the Table-Mountains on the Coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

ReplyDeleteThis story from the Xhosa people of South Africa is full of violence and conflict between the main characters. I was impressed with your isiXhosa pronunciation using the distinctive clicking sounds for words starting with Q (Qamata) and X (Xhosa) - well done!
