IGBO ANCIENT HISTORY 3
EVIDENCE FROM PRE-HISTORY BACKING UP AN IGBO ORIGIN OF HUMANKIND,LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND CIVILIZATION
Our claims to an Igbo origin of language, culture and civilization are not based on spoken language alone, but on the equally compelling fact that among the archaeological discoveries at Igbo Ukwu by British archaeologist Thurstan Shaw, were several inscriptions on pottery and bronze, which when compared with ancient Middle Eastern inscriptions (Egyptian and Cretan Hieroglyphics, Hittite, Old Phoenician, Old Sumerian, Proto-Palestinian, etc) show several striking similarities. SUMERIAN / SEMITIC
If Igbo language goes this far back, is there any wonder why it was the language in which the creator gods uttered the words that brought creation into being in Eden. For in the Torah the vernacular Hebrew words which describe the words uttered by God during creation in Eden were Igbo words. This leads us to the conclusion that the Jews were migrants from Igbo land. These words from Eden[21] include: *Hebrew amar (‘commanded’), Igbo hamara ‘commanded’ *Hebrew hayah (‘Let there be…’); Igbo haa ya (‘Let it be…/let there be’) *Hebrew hayah uwr (‘Let there be Light’), Igbo haa ya owuru (‘Let it be allowed to be’) *Hebrew towb (‘it is good’), Igbo Otu obu ‘It is as it should be’) Hebrew Hayawu (name of the creating deity), Igbo Anyanwu (‘Sun’). This links up with the Igbo word Ora (Sun) being the name of the Igbo god known among the Egyptians as Ra (Sun). |
INDELIBLE SIGNALS OF THE MOTHER-LANGUAGE ARE RETAINED THROUGH THOUSANDS OF YEARS
Dr Pegel noted, most interestingly, that “What’s so remarkable about this (Atkinson’s) work is that it shows language doesn’t change all that fast — it retains a signal of its ancestry over tens of thousands of years”. We wish to demonstrate how signals of Igbo language has been retained in some of the most ancient as well as the most modern languages (and cultures) of the world, proving without any shadow of doubt that the Igbo was the mother of languages such as Sanskrit, Egyptian, Sumerian, English and Semitic languages, or at least that Igbo is the longest surviving child of a global mother language spoken by gods and men alike. INDIA / HINDU WORDS OF IGBO ORIGIN
Evidence of an Igbo-speaking nation of migrant peoples who laid the foundation of Indian civilization also abounds in the Indian lexicon. Manu (‘First Man’) Igbo - mmanu (human); Kash (Kwash) – First People, god-men (Igbo: Akwanshi – ‘First People/god-men’); Kush, the name of the Biblical son of Khem/Ham was the clan name of all Indians (Hindu Kush), but also of all Nubians. Egypt was named Khemet after its founding father, Khem\Ham the post-Deluge settler of the African continent, whose name means ‘Black’. Sindh (the largest and longest river in India and main source of life, agriculture, trade and sheer survival, from which originated the words India, Hindu) appears to have derived its name from the Igbo word Isi ndu ‘Source of Life’ (pronounced Isi ndhu in Orlu/Okigwe dialects). |
EGYPTIAN WORDS OF IGBO ORIGIN
*Egyptian: akhu – ‘fire/light’ (Igbo: oku – ‘fire/light’). Akhu is the sacred vernacular name for the Giza Pyramid – one of the greatest wonders of the world. Its native Igbo name implies that an Igbo-speaking team of ancient engineers possibly constructed it, especially because noted in They Lived Before Adam, many key words in Egyptian Engineering lexicon are cognates of Igbo language. *Egyptian: aru - ‘body/form’ (Igbo: aru - ‘body’) *Egyptian: ba - ‘heart’(Igbo: obi – ‘heart’) *Egyptian: Busiris ‘House of Osiris’ (Igbo/Nri/Nsukka dialect: ‘Obu Osiris’ – ‘House of Osiris’). *Egyptian: hike – ‘power/strength’ (Igbo – ike – ‘power/strength INTERNATIONAL WORDS (INDO-EUROPEAN) THAT DERIVE FROM AFA CULT LANGUAGE OF THE ANCIENT IGBO PRIESTS
Most European languages, including English, belong to the Indo-European family of languages. Common historical experiences have brought about borrowing across several European borders, such that most international words are found in almost all European languages. A few words are selected as examples, though there are many more of such words with Igbo roots across several European languages, both Eastern and Western Europe:[34] Eve (Ava – ‘Living Soul/God as Mother, Creative Force’) Nature (Nne Atu Ora – Mother of the Living Word of the Sun God) Adam (Adaa m – ‘I have fallen’) Order (Ora dere – cosmically established/god ordained) Life (Ele ife – ‘Light of Ele’) |
