African Folklore or the Bible?
from Mythological Africans Podcast Hosted by Mythological Africans
Have you ever stopped while reading a folktale and wondered where you’ve seen the story before? In this week’s episode we look at a folkloric account from the Ndebele of South Africa and the another from the Ashanti of Ghana which have striking similarities to a biblical account.
