Returning to the issue of the Indian Snake Science writing taught by Thoth to the Phoenicians, we conducted a comprehensive study of the Igbo Ukwu inscriptions in our third book The Lost Testament of the Ancestors of Adam – Unearthing Heliopolis/Igbo-Ukwu – The Celestial City of the Gods of Egypt and India. What we found, as recorded in The Lost Testament was that Igbo Ukwu was indeed a lost city of mythology. Our comparative analysis of Igbo Ukwu inscriptions with those of most ancient Middle Eastern languages easily revealed very close links, so much so that one is tempted to conclude that Igbo Ukwu might have been the mother of these other writing systems.
The obvious question was, who taught whom? To answer this question was also to ask, who was the creator of the lost civilization and the lost city buried in Igbo Ukwu and to what period did it belong? To track down a West African civilization outside living memory, one had to look into the mythologies of West Africans, but also beyond West Africa, because civilizations and cities were never private ownerships – they usually made their impact far beyond their borders, and often seeded other cities and civilizations when their life-spans come to an end. The mythologies of the Yoruba (as recorded in Ifa), the Bini/Benin (index 3) and of the Igbo (see index 3) all confirmed that there was an ancient city with world-wide influence that was situated in Eastern Nigeria.
They confirm that this city was constructed in the period of the Deluge (Archaeologists have dated the Deluge to 11,000 B.C. according to recent discoveries). The Igbo called this city Biafra. The Benin called it the Holy City of Uhe in Idu Kingdom, while the Yoruba called it Ife. All the mythologies under reference say that the city was constructed by a god called Eri (in Igbo), Idu (Igbo/Bini), Obatala (in Yoruba). We found that the oldest epic of the Dravidian Indians, Ramayana, written by Valmiki insisted that Rama was a king in Atlantis who was induced by filial rivalry to abandon his kingdom, and that he retreated into the deep forest and built there a city in the middle of the rainforest where annual harvest festivals were held to honour the ancestors .
It was a city of international renown and the festival was attended by masters from around the world. In They Lived Before Adam, we identified this Annual Harvest Festival as Ahiajoku the Igbo New Yam festival dedicated to honouring the ancestors, based on similar claims in Nigerian mythologies about the landmarks marking the location of this forest city. All three mythologies of Nigerian tribes named above, say that a Post-Deluge city was raised up in the African rain forest through an artificial land-reclamation project whereby the god in question piled up sand from the sea onto an otherwise swampy terrain of the area. Igbo Nri mythology says the project was connected with Omambala River (now called Anambra River, a tributary of the River Niger) which then used to flood the whole area.
The mythology says that the god who undertook this land reclamation project did so by raising a plateau – a hilly terrain with a flat surface – and then built on it a Holy City of international renown, a forbidden city which only the gods and the priests could enter. Great Benin says that this city was the only inhabited place in the Post-Deluge world, because every other part of the world had been submerged by the Deluge. It further maintained that after the world dried up, it was repopulated from this Holy City from where groups of colonists were sent forth by the resident gods to repopulate the earth!These Nigerian myths are confirmed in the highly sought after but only recently released esoteric book, The Emerald Tablet of Thoth, The Atlantean, supposedly written on stone by Thoth, the Egyptian god of letters and of Wisdom and Knowledge.
In The Emerald Tablet, Thoth reveals his life history and his origins in the sub-continent of Atlantis before the Deluge. The book tells of the events leading onto the inundation of the world by water, the sinking of Atlantis and the instruction by God that Thoth should save a remnant of the Atlantean population in an Ark and carry them to “the Land of Khem” and there begin a new civilization. Thoth narrates how he “flew” off in the Ark and landed it in “the land of the hairy Barbarians” and there built a city with the workforce of the natives. Igbo Nri mythology confirming The Emerald Tablet maintains that the god Eri arrived in Igbo land in the time when the land was under water and swampy; that he flew into Igbo land, then populated by cave men (autochthons) in a flying ship (the Ark), raised a plateau over the waters, and there began the Nri system of professional priesthood.
He taught the natives agriculture, metal-working and basic technologies as well as commerce. Angulu Onwuejeogwu and Lawrence Emeka in two separate studies on the subject, confirmed that this god, who was called Eri, conquered the people’s resistance through his mystical powers. In The Emerald Tablet Thoth actually boasted that he used mystical powers to overcome the resistance of the natives and that he thereafter dwelt among them and inaugurated a civilization which gave the Khemites an edge over all other humans at the time.
