  Book 5 - The sign language of astronomical mythology- Part of Ancient Egypt - the Light of the World by Gerald Massey
It was a sign of lofty lineage for the native aristocracy to claim descent from ancient Uthlanga, the primeval land of birth.
The Basutos identify Uthlanga the human birthplace with a cavern in the earth that was surrounded by a morass of reeds.
The Zulu birthplace in the bed of reeds was repeated and continued in the nest of reeds and the morass that were mythically represented as the birthplace of the child, which was constellated as the uranograph of Horus springing from the reed.

 UNKULUNKULU; OR, THE TRADITION OF CREATION AS EXISTING AMONG THE AMAZULU AND OTHER TRIBES OF SOUTH AFRICA.
The uthlanga is Umsondwo, who broke off, and then broke off men, the umdali, the umdali of the earth.
Whatever notions the ignorant of the present day among the natives may have of the meaning of this tradition, it may be concluded that originally it was not intended to teach by it, that men sprang from a reed.
For Unkulunkulu, the first man, sprang from—came out of—broke off from—a previously existing uthlanga or source of being, the nature of which is quite beyond the native philosophy; and having come out, he became the uthlanga or source of being of entire humanity.
