Not so with the Temnes. The little that is known about Temnes is they were not originally from Sierra Leone. Some say they came from Eritrea, migrated northeast following the salt trade route and finally settled in Sierra Leone. Others claim the Temnes are descendants of the biblical King David, and that they (The Temnes), after the fall off Jerusalem migrated south along the Mediterranean Sea and settled for a long time in Eritrea and eventually found their way to Sierra Leone, However, all these claims are not supported by archeological evidence. So, researches, especially archaeologist might want to research the origins of Temne. Crossroads is an easy read but very enlightening, and excellent companion on a say four-four flight. This book is addictive once you start reading it will be very hard to stop. Bai K. Kamara. MS Ed. (Applied Behavior Analysis)
