I can only recommend watching this amazing clip with full screen and in HD

Definitely the most fascinating video I've seen on youtube all week; may have missed this incredible spectacle altogether if my little sister hadn't sent me the link. The Dogon people of Mali 'restrict fishing in the sacred Lake Antogo to once a year. On the appointed day, fishermen line up to rush the lake with baskets, clearing the entire lake in moments.'*
