Mysterious Place In Kenya Where ‘Infertile’ Women From Around The World Visit To Perform Rituals

Most vacation plans never feature some peculiar locations in Kenya. Only in local legend are certain people mentioned. Deeply mysterious locations that have previously perplexed visitors still do.

In relation to the aforementioned, we consider the Mbaraki Pillar.

The 300-year-old Mbaraki Pillar, which stands about 50 FT tall and is thought to be the second-oldest monument after Fort Jesus, is one of the most contentious locations on the Kenyan Coast. On the function it played in the ancient world, historians and archaeologists have never been able to reach consensus. Others suggest it may have been used for various reasons, while some claim it might have been an early version of the lighthouse.

As a national monument that has been gazetted in modern times, Mbaraki Pillar is a significant building in Mombasa. Now, hopefully, more effort will be made to record its history and strive toward its preservation.

Its walls are home to an Arab spirit, according to local mythology. The spirit has strong magical healing powers. In the hopes of becoming pregnant, women are known to travel great distances to perform fertility rituals at the base of the pillar. In the hope of receiving healing, the sick also leave offerings here. Undoubtedly one of Kenya’s strangest tourist destinations!
