Mũkũrwe Wa Nyagathanga

Mũkũrwe wa Nyagathanga is the Gikũyũ tribe's mythical Garden of Eden in central Kenya. It is also the primary point of dispersal for the Gikuyu after their arrival in the Mt. Kenya region. Mũkũrwe wa Nyagathanga now attracts both curious Gikũyũ who want to learn about their history and visitors who want to learn more about the tribe. The Gikũyũ political elite also uses it to rally the tribe around a common cause. Traditional religious men from Gikuyu visit the site from time to time to make sacrifices and pray.
