Question
Several groups in this modern-day country buried their legendary homeland’s fingo talismans within sacred kaya forests. A theologian born in this country used the tenses of the verb “to come” in two of its languages to explain concepts of potential and actual time, or sasa and zamani. In this country, goats were sacrificed under sacred sycamore fig trees by an ethnic group that traditionally looks towards this country’s (*) highest mountain when praying to the supreme god Ngai. John Arthur excommunicated a native of this country with the Christian name “Johnstone” over his support of “irua.” That native of this country later wrote about the aforementioned FGM practice in an anthropological study with an introduction by Bronislaw Malinowski. For 10 points, on what country’s namesake mountain does God reside per the tradition of its Kikuyu people? ■END■
