2. The Oromo individuals of the Borana gathering are arranged inside the southern piece of Ethiopia and the Northern piece of Kenya (inside the line), and furthermore a few pieces of Somalia. 


3. The Borana Oromo calendrical framework has been in presence since 300 BC and depends on cosmic perceptions of the moon and stars. The lunar-heavenly calendrical framework doesn't utilize sunlight based (sun) perception by any means, as the region is arranged near the equator. This implies that there is next to zero change in the conduct of the sun consistently.

Twelve synodic months make up a year, and every month is comprised of 29.5 days. The schedule utilizes the combination of seven stars (Beta Triangulum, Pleiades, Aldebaran, Bellatrix, Focal Orion, Saiph, and Sirius) in various lunar stages to decide the days.

They were both working in the northwestern piece of Kenya, the Lake Turkana zone to be exact. The Namoratunga is a zone that holds 19 stone columns and is said to have been worked around 300 BC. 


10. The site was worked to speak to the rising places of the seven stars that make up the Borana schedule. Given the time of Namoratunga cosmic site, the Borana calendrical framework has been in presence 1800 years before the formation of the present-day western Gregorian schedule.
