Contrary to records of history studied today, the Gikuyu community just like most tribes of Kush existed more than 3000 B.C and thus the history of the Gikuyu may go way before Egyptians discovered writing.

As described in various records most of which were erased from black history, the Gikuyu traveled across kush (Alkebulan/Afrika) in different times under different names. For instance there are records of the community referring to itself as Kabiru. These Kabiru people are said to have lived as mercenaries who were hired to fight by communities traveling up north including semites moving from Egypt. There are records of the existence of Kabiru people in Semitic history which is recorded as Khabiru in Hebrew. A black community of warriors.

The Kabiru would later travel southwards from Egypt in what seems like escape from war or crisis and settled around Mt Kirinyaga where they assimilated smaller tribes and renamed themselves Gikuyu.
There are Gikuyu narratives that claim that Gikuyu (founder of Gikuyu nation) came together with his brothers Meru and Embu. There are scholars of Eastern theology who claim the existence of the ark of covenant on Mt Kenya ( a subject to be studied).

If indeed the ark is hidden on the mountain then it could be true that the Gikuyu (founder) ran southwards after acquiring the ark remember they were mercenaries and hid it atop the mountain. It could also explain the changing of name from Kabiru to Gikuyu to hide their identity.

Also, there are scholars and Gikuyu historians who refer to Gikuyu, Meru and Embu (the three brothers) as the sons of a king in the north specifically in Habesh (Abaci in Gikuyu language) which is modern day North of Ethiopia. These historians say these brothers ran after crisis broke out in the ruling house and thus they took with them an important symbol.

There are various twists, however the bottom line is, the Gikuyu migrated from Ethiopia and by large Misri and not congo as modern history claims.

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.

Oyoongi Araap Chumo

Oyoongi Araap Chumo was one of the greatest herbalists in Kipsigis and since his demise in the 1980s, no other medicine man has emerged to replace him. However, he mentored many herbalists. He was circumcised to the Chumo age set among the Kipsigis.

Oyongi’s birth date was unknown but it was approximated to have been the 1920s. Oyoongi who belonged to the Mososwoek clan that is affiliated to the Kapmogoreek who both proclaim the crested crane totem.

It is said that he was known throughout the land because of his herbs and ability to predict the future and against the ability of others. One current famous herbalist from Gorgor of Ndanai in Sotik, Kipronya Araap Mapwai confirmed some of stories to me. Kipronya too is a herbalist from the Kaparangwek clan.

Oyoongi married thirteen wives spread all over Kipsigis regions of; Waaldai, Pelkut and Soot. These are the regions covering Kericho, Bomet, Nakuru and Narok. He died between 1982-85 in Tineet near Kiplemeiywo.

Oyongi was famous and had wives in Oloiboni village near Kericho township. He was never from the Talai clan either way.

Nobody can tell our own story unless we do it ourselves.
