Circumcision Ceremony is the most vital initiation of all rite of passages in the Maasai society. A delegation of boys between 14 and 16 years of age, has to go on a journey within their lands announcing their next age set, this journey is taken with the company of a group of elders who guide them.
A few days before the circumcision each boy has to undergo another trial: he has to gather the cattle for seven days in a row, if he manages to carry out this duty correctly, his circumcision will take place on the eighth day.
Before the ceremony, boys have to sleep outside the village in the savannah; the following day, when coming back, they have to wear wide robes and dance all day long. At the end of this last ceremony, the boys are finally ready for the most important initiation: The Emuratta or circumcision.
Oldupai Gorge (Also known as Olduvai Gorge) is a site in Tanzania – Ngorongoro that holds the earliest evidence of the existence of human ancestors.
This ‘Cradle of Mankind’ has yielded abundant fossil material dating back at least two million years. It was here (1959) that Mary and Louis Leakey discovered the remains of Nutcracker Man. Nearby, in Laetoli, (1979) Mary Leakey discovered the footprints of hominids which are estimated to be over three million years old. The excavation sites have been preserved for public viewing. And archeologists still continue to explore the gorge every year for more exposition.
The Maasai people of Tanzania are well known for their traditional handmade beaded jewellery – it has been an important part of Maasai culture for many years. Almost daily Maasai women set aside time to work on beaded jewellery like colourful necklaces, bracelets, and pendants. It is considered the duty of every Maasai woman to learn the jewellery making craft. Traditionally the beadwork is made by women but is worn by both sexes, and has important cultural significance. The beadwork an individual wears reflects their age and social status.
