Zulu battle formation..

Visible to anyone in the world

.was done in the form of a cows head..

Arm....Chest...Arm....Shaka was one of the greatest Zulu warchiefs...and an excellent military strategist. It is said the Zulu inhaled something like marijuana before any battle..There is in Spike Milligan's book 'it ends with magic' an excellent description of this battle and of course there is the very famous painting by Charles Edward Fripp..
