WAS IGBO: THE LANGUAGE THAT ADAM SPOKE? A COSMIC ORIGIN?
The above examples show that as a medium of expression, Igbo language has had a very ancient history and a very far-reaching impact not only in human development, but also and more importantly in the development of the human mind and of the cosmos. How else can one explain the fact noted above, that the word cosmos is derived from Igbo. And as if that is not bizarre enough, the Igbo origin of the Greek word Gaia (gweye), which is the name of the planet that scientists and mythologists say existed before earth. The mythologies of the ancient Sumerians and many other peoples around the world say that Gaia was smashed into by another planet from deep space and that out of her remaining half, earth was formed, several millions of earth years ago. The name of this planet Gaia – bears the tell-tale story of its harrowing experience as a watery planet that was cleaved asunder. Indeed the word Gaia explains the nature of the catastrophe that befell the mother-planet in the beginning days of the history of the cosmos. The fact that this Canaanite word gaia/gweye and the story it tells, is a cognate of Igbo (for in Canaanite and in Igbo Gaia gweye/ngwo iyi mean ‘Ravine of Water’), further supports the thesis that Igbo is a very ancient language, possibly the oldest language on earth, and a language whose origins seem to have been cosmic. What the above examples show is that Igbo is the language of the people who brought the mythological story of creation into the world (as can also be deduced from the etymology of the word ‘cosmos’ – qosm/kwasama). The fact that the word cosmos is a cognate of Igbo language, would tend to suggest that Igbo civilization in its hey-days, certainly dealt with issues pertaining to astrology and the cosmic, and that the founders of Igbo civilization were probably the beings who charted the cosmic waters of the universe and kick-started the path of planetary evolution and human civilization. This thesis is supported by the story of Adam’s Fall, for Adam, the name of the Fallen Man means ‘I have Fallen’ (Adaa m) in Igbo, and the Hebrew word Tikkun/tikonnu), which expresses the hope of Adam’s restoration through unification with the god within is (as noted earlier) also an Igbo word (tikonu – ‘unite’). All these aid our conclusion that Semitic is a Mega-Igbo linguistic phenomenon and that Igbo language was that ‘Semitic’ language which linguists claim seeded other languages in two major Pre- and Post-Deluge migrations.
The deepest traditional belief in the Hebrew Cabbala is that when Adam fell from divine grace, he lost his divinity because his inner man became divided and he was no longer whole, unified (holy). Accordingly, the greatest hope of the Hebrew nation is that one day Adam (Modern Man/Homo Sapiens) will become whole again when the scattered parts of his consciousness are brought together in a cosmic union of the physical man with the God within. It is this mystery that the Hebrews traditionally define as Tikkun – the union of the separate parts into one spiritual whole. Our research has shown beyond every doubt, that the sacrament of this hoped-for union, which in the Christian religion is demonstrated in the Sacrament of the Holy Communion, has its origin in the Igbo ritual of Holy Communion otherwise called Emume Oji, a ritual which is conducted in the exact same way as the Christian Holy Communion and the Hebrew Breaking of Bread. Igbo Emume Oji is the oldest of its kind anywhere on earth, having been inaugurated since the days of the First People (the descendants of the Homo Erectus cave men). This, we have demonstrated in They Lived Before Adam.
