HISTORY LESSON

There's a sacred place in Africa, with the largest number of stone circles in the world. 

There are: 

• 29,000 stones

• 17,000 monuments

• 2,000 individual sites

But where is this mysterious place, and what secrets does it hold? 👇🏿

In 2006, UNESCO recognized four stone circle sites - two in The Gambia and two in Senegal - as World Heritage Sites:

• Sine Ngayène (Senegal)

• Wanar (Senegal)

• Wassu (Gambia)

• Kerr Batch (Gambia)

The Wassu stone circles ancestral legacy:

• Our ancestors moved colossal stones with advanced engineering

• The precise circular arrangements reveal our sophisticated understanding of mathematics and astronomy

• These monuments are evidence of an advanced civilization in West Africa, flourishing in ancient times

• While their exact purpose eludes us, the circles likely served sacred or ceremonial roles, connecting our people to the spirit world

• Oral traditions hint at the stones' power, with elders speaking of nighttime glowing and spiritual energy
