#9.3: The Primordial Termite Mound - Eternal Symbols - Anthills, snakes and umbrellas

How termite mounds appear in some of the African genesis mythology, how it possibly relates to circumcision. How it connects to the chthonic snake, the primordial egg.. But also how it is essential in traditional architecture and agriculture. About another people who's very existence was almost lost in time and about a girl called Anthill.
PS: putting something straight, the Dogon deity descending on earth is not Amma, but Yurugu.
