'Kampala 1962-65':This is Munyonyo where Amin used to have monthly boat races.It was a canoe regatta on the eve of independence. It was part of the activities in a run up to the independence day. It was a braced occasion that used to be attended by many people. It's the reason why that road branching off from Ggaba road had always been well looked after even when it passed through a then bushy area of Buziga and Munyonyo. It is now called Mulungu (Kabaka Landing Site)

5.In 922, a traveler from Baghdad, Ahmad ibn Fadlan, wrote the first account of the Volga Vikings, who lived in modern-day Russia.Image is of a 10th century manuscript of his account.


he is describing some sort of a water dam and how it supplies water and how something went wrong in it and they fixed it. The letters are too small and hand writing is difficult to understand the whole text. Sorry thats my best.This is the true story behind the movie "The 13th warrior".I read his Book about Volga region and its quite informative. It shows that how people lived without the light of ISLAM and after that they civilized by adopting the Islamic teachings
