Question

Which mythical features are present in the beginning of the Maasai?

Answer 1

Answer: In "The Beginnings of the Maasai," the daughter of the Maasai explains the relationship between the Maasai and their sky god Enkai. She explains how a volcanic eruption sent Enkai and the cattle into the sky. In order to save the cattle, Enkai created a giant tree that allowed them to walk back to earth.

Explanation: These are all mythical features, because a volcano erupting would not send cattle into the sky, nevertheless alive. They also wouldn't be able to physically live in the sky without food for that period of time. And finally, a tree wouldn't be tall enough to reach into the sky for them to walk down. Hope this helps ^-^.
