Which is the best explanation for why Neiterkob is called the “Beginner of the Earth"? Albel
A. Neiterkob keeps Enkai happy.
B. Neiterkob saves the cattle by creating a giant tree to shade them from the volcano.
C. Neiterkob is the connection between the tribe and the sky god.
D. Neiterkob cuts down the giant fig tree to keep the cattle on the earth.

C. Neiterkob is the connection between the tribe and the sky god.

Explanation:

The mythical narration of "The Beginning of the Maasai" gives an account of how the Maasai culture came to be. It also gives an insight into how the Maasai people believe about the creation and their own beliefs of god and the divine.

Neiterkob is the father of the narrator who stated that she is "the daughter of the great Neiterkob, the Father of the Maasai tribe in Africa". She also explicitly mentions that "the rest of the tribe calls my father the "Beginner of the Earth" because he mediates between Enkai and our tribe, just as he did when the cattle returned from the sky". This is proof enough that shows that Neiterkob is the connection between the earth people and the sky god, thus given the title "Beginner of the Earth".

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
