Did you know that Ghana's North East Region was once a home to a mysterious ancient civilization 3000 years before Naa Gbewaa ever set foot in the region? It's called the Birimi site and was discovered in 1987 just north of Nalerigu on the path to the Gambaga Escarpment. (1/12)

It seems lessons were not learned from the Larabanga Mosque collapse which was due to replacing traditional mud plaster with cement. Cement is waterproof and traps moisture in the mud walls causing wood beams to rot & enticing termites to enter. Bole was using cement plaster.
