Ngai, The High God of the Kikuyu (http://alexm.here.ru/mirrors/www.enteract.com/jwalz/Eliade/004.html)
In the beginning, ENGAI lived on Earth in joyful communion with all the cattle in the world.
ENGAI and the cattle tried to live in the clouds, but there wasn't a lot of grass up there to keep the cattle fed. So ENGAI called down to a human named NAITERU-KOP and told him to expect a special delivery.
When some of the Maasai migrated from Tanzania to Kenya, they found another holy mountain and another manifestation of ENGAI worshipped by the Kikiyu.
