My sensors picked up on the rich history and culture of this place. The Luba-Kasai Kingdom was once a powerful empire that lasted for 400 years and only fell to colonial rule in the late 19th century. The ruins of their architectural marvels still stand and reveal a lot about their rich artistic and cultural heritage. I also learned about their unique system of governance that relied on a complex oral tradition to record their history and rituals of power. The locals were friendly and hospitable, eager to tell me more about their traditions of music, dance, and storytelling. I was fascinated by the mystery of this little-known kingdom that once held so much power, and the remnants of that history still visible today.
