before 1492
As Columbus embarked on his first transatlantic voyage, the Mexica, or Aztecs, were consolidating their position (in Mexico), their city was a center of both trade and military might. Tenochtitlán (the Aztec capital]
held 200,000 people, a population greater than in the largest city in contemporary Europe.
The Mississippian culture spread east and west from its center, the city of Cahokia, on the Mississippi River near the site of modern
St. Louis. It was a successor to earlier cultures, evidence of which can be seen in
the great ceremonial mounds they built. Cahokia declined and was ultimately abandoned completely in the later thirteenth century. Throughout the Southeast, smaller mound building centers continued

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

ngai (engai, enkai, mweai, mwiai) is the monolithic supreme god in the spirituality of the kamba and kikuyu of kenya.ngai is creator of the universe and all in it. the kikuyu worshiped ngai facing the mt. kirinyaga (mount kenya) while prayers and goat sacrificial rituals were performed under the sacred mugumo tree (a fig tree species). ngai often was referred to as "mwene nyaga" meaning (the owner of the mountain).

it means that maasai people think that mount kenya is something to be worshipped along with god.when cattle or children cause problems,maasai elders just warn them that children must mend their bad ways or their god might punish them.this serves as law and order tool to maintain peace among maasai tribe.the maasai are an indigenous ethnic group in africa of semi-nomadic people settled in kenya and northern tanzania. due to their distinct traditions, customs and dress and their residence near the many national game parks of east africa, the maasai are among the foremost african ethnic groups and are known internationally because of their links to the national parks and reserves.

traditional maasai people's lifestyle concentrates on their cattle which make up the primary source of food. amongst the maasai and several other african ethnic groups, the measure of a man's wealth is in terms of children and cattle. so the more the better.
