Kitara: A glimpse into ancient East Africa

By Melody Hope

Long before anyone outside Africa had ever heard its name, there was Kitara. Right in the heart of East Africa.

A kingdom of kings, queens, men and women all bound by an ancient cult. A prophecy that turned a potter's son into a killer. A witch who convinced an empire her dead husband still lived inside her. For a thousand years, this was one of the largest, strangest, and most powerful kingdoms in Africa, kept alive not in books, but in stories, passed down from one generation to another until two kings finally wrote it into history.

This is the true story behind the legends: men who ruled as gods, a caste system built on cattle, and a dynasty that rose, conquered, and vanished almost without a trace.

Written by Melody Hope, Kitara: A glimpse into ancient East Africa will answer your questions about the past that defined the people of East Africa.
