Beautiful story about LAKE CHILA

LAKE CHILA IN MBALA , NORTHERN CIRCUIT 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

Lake Chila

in Mbala is not more than a kilometer long and 800 metres wide and is feared to be more than 1000 metres deep in some place's.

On its bed lie's a collection of historic military weapons that have been there for more than half a century.

The arms were dumped in the mini-lake at the end of first world war after soldiers from Germany east africa Tanzania surrendered to the Northern Rhodesia rifle's.

A number of these guns were fished out from the lake a few years ago by Zambian commandos who were on a training excercise but it is belived a lot more remain below.

From a geographical perspective the lake is a depression lake or a sunken lake where the bottom collapsed.

According to traditional myth,many years ago when the village of Chief Zombie was near by,there was no Lake Chila but just the river lucheche

and villager's would go to catch fish were the river was a bit wide.Then one day while many people were catching fish the area sunk within minutes killing the fisher men and by standers and Lake Chila was formed.

Apart from the arms that were dumped into this lake,Mbala is historically significant in terms of the first world war because it saw a lot of hostilities between the warring side's, being on the boarder of the two British and Germany colonial territories and it hosted a very big British Military Garrison.

The infamous slave trade route later named as the Stevenson road passed through the town connecting Lake Tanganika

and Karonga town on Lake Malawi. — at Mbala District.

The full story of AKPLƆ̃MADA

AKPLƆ̃MADA!! Okomfo Anokye was an Ewe Togbi & the twin of Togbi Tsali ‼️ Tsali and Tsala (alias Okomfo kye) were twin brothers. Their father was Togbui Akplormada.

Tsala, who later became known as Okomfo Anokye, left Notsie on his sojourn at a youthful age, and finally settled at Awukugua in present day Eastern Region. Because of his spiritual powers, he became known as Okomfo Notsie (in Ewe language, Notsie Hunor) or Notsie priest.

THE FIRST AND OLDEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

FLUTE IS THE FIRST AND OLDEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT At least that appears likely. Found in Slovenia, in a cave that was inhabited by Neanderthals, the 4.5-inch cave bear femur has four spaced, similarly-sized holes in a line in a recognizable musical scale. Even though the odds of that happening by chance are slim, much of the scientific community has rejected the idea that Neanderthals had the cognitive ability and creativity to make music, much less a flute to produce it. The main competing hypothesis is that carnivores made the holes while chewing the bone. In all fairness, both ends of the article do appear to have suffered gnawing. But experiments have shown that it would be nearly impossible for carnivores to produce the holes on the thickest and most rigid part of the bone without breaking it. And no match could be found for any animal to make two of the holes at a time. A reconstructed model of the flute has been used to produce good qua...
