Résumé en anglais
Ntusi and Bigo bya Mugyenyi are two archaeological sites16 kilometres apart from each other. The archaeological
record dates them two centuries apart, as well with Ntusidating, between the 11th and 15th century and Bigo bya
Mugyenyi dating between the 14th and 16th century. Bothof them share a common tradition associating them as
capitals of the legendary Bacwezi. Bacwezi are the rulersof the ancient Empire of Kitara from which, after the 16th
century, the later inter-lacustrine Kingdoms of Bunyoro -Kitara, Buganda, Nkore, Rwanda and Karagwe emerged.
