SUMERIAN / SEMITIC LANGUAGE CAME FROM IGBO LANGUAGE PART 2
The god of scribes is Thoth, who is also known among the gods of Sumer (though by a different name). In Igbo Nri mythology, he is known as Eri. In Igbo land as in Sumer, writing was a secret and sacred art of the gods, which only the initiates were allowed to indulge in. The clan of scribes of Igbo land was called Ar/Aro. They are also the guardians of the Mouth of the labyrinthine Cave where God/Chukwu/Ukpabi (a local version of the Supreme Being and of Egypt’s Hidden God Amun) dwells unseen. Characteristically this Cave is called Obini-ukpabi, which translates into ‘Tomb Palace of God’ or ‘Underground Dwelling of God’ – a sure reference to the Egyptian Duat home of Amun, which Thoth calls Amenti (‘Halls for Listening’- Igbo exact equivalent is Amanti). Our analyses of some of their writings on cloth (nkara) shows that the step-pyramid, the crocodile, the serpent, the three-hills (horizon), the sun, the moon and several other symbols and totems of Egyptian gods are regular features.[25] Apart from that, the Ar/Aro possess their own local and very ancient version of the Ark of Tutankhamun with the exact same shape.[26] The name of the secret society of initiates of the god of writing to which the Ar/Aro belong is called Ekpe. Their headquarter happens to be the monoliths[27] circle of inscribed stones in Alok (Enoch?), Cross River State, Nigeria, which as far as the natives can tell were made by Stone Age People – dwarfs who were of the “First Age Grade of humans” to inhabit the earth (Homo Erectus). Do all these not agree uncannily with Assurbanipal’s claim about a “god of scribes”, an “initiation into the secrets of writing” and about “enigmatic words in the stone carvings from the days before the Flood…”? As if these were not enough, Shin’ar the Biblical name of Shumer actually translates into Igbo as Eshi na Ar (‘People of the Sun and Scribes of the Gods’), while Shumer translates into Igbo as Eshi Umu Eri (Sun People, Children of Thoth). Since the word Ar literally means ‘Serpent’s comb’ Shen’ar also means ‘People of the Sun and the Serpent’. Thus the full meaning of Osiris’ Egyptian name Asa-ar is ‘Seven Serpents’ or ‘Serpent with the Seven Combs’.
Like the Igbo, Sumerians also have a river deity called Urashi. One of its names resh-eni means in Sumerian -‘where the waters have their source’. Igbo equivalent orashi enu also means ‘Source-waters’. The Sumerian word Babel means ‘Gate to El’s House’. The Igbo equivalent is Baa be Ele, ‘Entrance to Ele’s House’. Ele is the most ancient god of the Igbo autochthons. From Biblical sources it is known that the Babel incident that brought about the separation of languages from the one original mother tongue happened at Babel. The fact that in Sumer and in Igbo land, El was associated with the heights[28] and also in Hebrew, shows a common origin of both the god and the peoples that worship it. The ancient base of El in Igbo land, according to mythology was the same place where the Homo erectus habitation was found by archaeologists, namely Ugwu-Ele. Ugwu-ele means ‘Hill/Heights of Ele’! The Biblical term Beth-el means ‘House of El’ or ‘Lord’s House’, for El was the God whom the Jews called ‘Lord’. Its Igbo original was Be-Ele/Obi Ele ‘House of El’.
Since El/Ele was also a hidden God for the Jews, it seems that he was the same as the Egyptian god Ammun. All these converging pieces of evidence suggest that the Tower of Babel incident most likely took place in West Africa. A Recent book by Jewish historian, Jonathan Cook, When and How Was the Jewish People Invented, 2011, supports the thesis that the Jews were never a people of Palestine, and that their claim to a Palestine origin was a fabrication of Biblical scholars. Evidence that Dr. Acholonu amassed in The Lost Testament, shows that the Jews were a Nigerian tribe of scribes of the Igbo God Ele and an off-shoot of the Eri/Aro tribe of scribes, initiates and professional priests.
The Sumerian term Amurru (‘Westerners’)[29] is derived from Igbo Umu oru (‘People of the West’). West here implies West of the River Niger, for the Igbo distinguish between Oru and Igbo (Oru na Igbo) with ‘oru’ implying ‘those who live West of the Niger River, i.e. the Benin and the Yoruba’, and ‘Igbo’ implying those who live east of the Niger, i.e. the core Igbo and the Delta Igbo. From this term is also derived the etymology of the word Hebrew, whose literal meaning in Aramaic and in Igbo (Igbo Oru) is ‘Those who live on the Western Side of the River’! Igbo Oru actually means: ‘The Igbo Who Live West of the Niger’. This implies that originally the peoples of the Eastern and Western Niger were at least of the same political entity, before the rivalries of their gods separated them ideologically. All these linguistic piles of evidence are powerful testimonies that Sumerians and Hebrews, Benins and Yorubas were originally speaking an Igbo mother language, still spoken in Igbo land to this day, but not among the other nation states that were originally part of the mother-entity. They also suggest that the origins of civilization lie in ancient Nigeria in the area of the River Niger. One can venture further and adduce from the foregoing that the Great Benin Empire of Old and the Oyo/Owo empires of Yoruba land, of which nothing remains in present times, were perhaps offshoots of the original Pre-Deluge Sumerian civilization of ancient Nigerians.
As described in Zecharia Sitchin’s book When Time Began, by 2,000 BC the land of Ur, otherwise called Sumer was beset by a military disaster such that “Sumer itself lay prostrate and desolate, the remnants of its people spread in all directions: Sumerian doctors and astronomers, architects and sculptors, cutters of seals and scribes became teachers in other lands”… “For the first time there appears in Mesopotamian inscriptions the term Munnabtutu, literally meaning ‘fugitives from a destruction’” – what would today be called ‘displaced persons” or “stateless refugees”. The Igbo original of this term is Umunna obi ntitu, which literally means ‘Kindred from a Crushed Homestead’ or ‘Citizens of a Destroyed City’.
In They Lived Before Adam, Dr. Acholonu provided evidence that what destroyed the Prehistoric civilizations of West Africa was the war between the god Marduk, known in Egypt as Ra and the Supreme God of the autochthons, the Hidden God, El. In The Lost Testament, Dr. Acholonu provided initial evidence that Marduk/Ra was either backing or was himself the Yoruba God Oduduwa, the Nigerian equivalent of Egypt’s Seth, while El/Atum was the power behind Oduduwa’s rival brother, Obatala, the Nigerian equivalent of Osiris. In When Time Began, foremost oriental scholar of Sumerian cuneiform records, Zecharia Sitchen, provided added evidence from Sumerian records that indeed Marduk was the god behind the Western Nigerians (the Benin and the Yoruba monarchies).
While the Amurru (Umuoru) ‘Westerners’, followers of Marduk and Nabu [his son] poured into Mesopotamia and provided the rulers that made up the first dynasty of Marduk’s Babylon, other tribes and nations-to-be engaged in massive population movements that forever changed the Near-East, Asia [Eshi] and Europe. They brought about the emergence of Assyria to Babylon’s north, the Hittite kingdom to the northwest, the Hurrian Mitanni to the west, the Indo-Aryan kingdoms that spread from the Caucasus on Babylon’s north-east, and those of the desert peoples to the south and of the ‘Sealand people’ to the southeast…They migrated to the Indus Valley to repopulate and reinvigorate it. The Vedic tales of gods and heroes that [Aryans, later] brought with them were the Sumerian myths retold. The notions of Time and its measurement and cycles were of Sumerian origin mingled into the Aryan migrations. [They brought] mysteriously abrupt changes… in China without any gradual development…[and] transformed (China from a nation of] primitive villages to one of walled cities whose rulers possessed bronze weapons [the Igbo, Benin and Yoruba have been masters in bronze casting for as long as living memory goes][30] and chariots and the knowledge of writing. The cause, all agree was the arrival of migrants from the west [western hemisphere; West Africa], the same civilizing influences of Sumer… the migrations in the aftermath of the fall of Sumer.
[In China] writing was introduced together with kingship by the Shang dynasty [of little people, whose ancestors were probably the Igbo-speaking Nshi dwarfs who authored the monoliths of Nigeria].[31] Brackets mine.
In The Gram Code of African Adam, Catherine Acholonu pointed out that two Original Sumerian (proto-cuneiform) letters inscribed on the monoliths of Ikom, leading us to conclude that those who inscribed the monoliths were the founders of the Sumerian civilization, namely the dwarfs/autochthons who taught their sacred writings to the initiate scribes of ancient Nigeria. Igbo infusion into Chinese civilization can be seen in Chinese language which is monosyllabic and in their early writing whose letters were pictographic as in Igbo Ukwu bronze and pottery inscriptions. The Chinese I-ching divination system of trigrams has mathematical links with Igbo Afa divination system[32], and as listed in They Lived Before Adam, several Chinese monosyllabic words have same sounds and meanings with similar Igbo words. Sitchin records that consequent on the destruction original base of the Sumerian civilization, “throughout the steppes of Central Asia and all the way from India to China and Japan, the religious beliefs spoke of gods of Heaven and Earth and of a place [in the west] called Sumeru … at the navel of the earth - .”[33] Chinese mythology calls this western land of the migrant gods and god-men Hsi wang mu, which in Igbo reads Eshi nwa mmuo (‘Immortal Eshi/godmen’).
According to Professor E. E. Okafor, the Dean of Archaeology at the University of Nigeria, new dating of samples of slag and bloom from ancient industrial furnaces in Lejja, Nsukka in Igbo land sent to UK for dating by the Archaeology Department at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, recently returned with a shocking date of 4,000 B.C.! By 4,000 B.C. Sumerian civilization in the Middle East, which is supposedly older than Egyptian civilization, was in its infancy, while Igbo people were making metal in industrial furnaces and piling up masses of slag and bloom that question to this very day the generally accepted notions of the origin of civilization.
