SUMERIAN / SEMITIC LANGUAGE CAME FROM IGBO LANGUAGE
SUMERIAN / SEMITIC LANGUAGE CAME FROM IGBO LANGUAGE PART 1
Sumerian language is classified among Semitic languages. In The Gram Code of African Adam, Dr. Acholonu asserted that there were not any signd that Semites had a language or a culture of their own, for every aspect of their language and culture was borrowed from the Hamites. Two full-length books and one thousand pages of hard core research information later, this idea it is ever more convincing. In fact, there are more than enough clues indicating that the word ‘Semitic’ is a misnomer, and that Semites were a branch of the Hamitic stock, whose origins began precisely in the West Africa rain forest region of Nigeria. As in ancient Egyptian, some of the names of the earliest gods of Sumer were derived from Igbo language. Some of these gods, according to Sumerian cuneiform records lived on earth before the creation of human beings. One such god was called ZU. His name means in the language of the gods: ‘He Who Knows’. The word Zu has an equivalent in sound and meaning in Igbo, namely Izu, which means ‘Wise and Knowledgeable’.
Another Sumerian god with an Igbo name was the Stone God Ullikimmi, for his name means in Igbo ‘Stone Cable’ – Illi nkume. Also an early Storm god of Sumer, who fought a protracted war with the stone god was called Kummiya. In Igbo this name translates as Nkume Iyi. Nkume Iyi is the pebble used by rainmakers to make rain. Iyi implies ‘Rain’ and ‘Storm’. Sitchin[17] noted that Ulli Kummi means ‘He who contends with Kummi’, which in Igbo would translate into Olu Kummi ‘He who fights Kummi’. It is obvious that these gods were Igbo-speaking, leading us to conclude that Egyptian and Sumerian mythological origins are traceable to one and the same place - Igbo land.
A Babylonian tablet in the British Museum (No. 74329)[18] catalogued as containing an otherwise unknown myth, but narrating aspects of the story of Cain’s lineage, (the tablets call him Ka’in), says Cain’s descendants are called Amakandu – meaning ‘People Who in Sorrow Roam’. After the death of Kain, his family buried him in a place called Nudun, which means ‘Excavated Resting Place’ (Biblical ‘Nud’), also called Dunnu. The last settlement of this group of people was called Shupat, meaning ‘Judgment’. All these vernacular Sumerian words are Igbo words. In Igbo (Owerri dialect), Ama ka nduu means ‘To roam is better than to settle’. Igbo equivalent of Nudun (‘Excavated Resting Place’) is Onu Nduu, and has the exact same meaning with Nudun. Onu means in Igbo ‘mouth/excavated hole’, while nduu means ‘to rest/to sit’ in Owerri dialect. The Igbo equivalent of Sumerian Shupat (‘Judgment’) is Ishi ikpe, which also implies ‘Judgment’. There is a clan in Anambra State in Igbo land called Dunukofia. The name means ‘To settle is better than to roam’.
Sumerian texts say that the first city built by the gods on earth was called Eridu. There they placed the members of Adam’s family. Adam’s great grandson was named Yared, meaning ‘He of Eridu’, ‘person from Eridu’. Its Igbo equivalent, with the same meaning, is Oye Eridu. The father of Yared was Enosh/Enu-Esh. His name meant ‘Master of humankind’, for the first people were called Esh, Adam too was called Esh in vernacular Hebrew. In Sumerian this sacred word Esh means ‘Righteous Shepherd’. All Sumerian kings bore the title Esh. Equally in Igbo land Esh/Eshi/Nshi is a sacred word implying divine origins of the first people, who indeed were wielders of supernatural powers. Igbo people from the area occupied by the autochthons (Orlu and Okigwe) begin time reckoning with ‘Kamgbe Eshi’ – ‘From the time of the Eshi’. The term ‘Oha-eshi’ refers to the generality of the people descended from the autochthons. These would tend to suggest that the Hebrew Esh (‘first people’), Igbo Esh (‘First People’) and Sumerian Esh (Sumerian kings who bear the “ESH” title do so in other to legitimize their reign through association with the autochthons of Igbo land) all have the same root. In fact Sumerians called themselves ‘Black-headed people’ to distinguish themselves from the Egyptians, who were called ‘Black-footed People”. King Assurbanipal was said to have claimed to posses the secrets of writing “from the days before the Flood”.[19]
Sumerian word ommia means ‘expert’. Igbo omaya means ‘the one who knows it well’. Sumerian town of Kish, according to Sumerian records, was where the gods first handed down kingship to men. Igbo Ki ishi means ’The First’ (Orlu dialect). Actually the anglicized spelling ‘Orlu’ is derived from a word pronounced Ele. The people of Orlu town in Orlu local government believe that they are descendants of an ancestor known as Okwara Ugwu-Ele – ‘Heir of the Hill of Ele’; Ugwuele being the very place of habitation of the Homo Erectus autochthons.
Sumerian word Tug means dress. Igbo tuiga means ‘dress up’ (Orlu Dialect). Like the Igbo Sumerians also wore wrappers for total wrap-round cover-up, which were called Tug-tu-she, which in Igbo (Orlu Dialect) would be pronounced tuiga tushie ‘cover-all dressing’. Dr. Acholonu demonstrated in They Lived Before Adam that Sumerian customs, religious practices and traditional ways of life as described by Wallis Budge[20] was the same in most details with those of ancient Nigerians.
Hebrew word hyssop (‘to cleanse’) derived from Sumerian word zupu (‘to clean’). Both go back to the Igbo word hisapu and sapu – ‘to clean off’ or ‘wash clean’ (Orlu Dialect). In They Lived Before Adam Dr. Acholonu listed several Akkadian, Canaanite and Hebrew words along with Sumerian ones which derive from Igbo, with several place names in Hebrew – including names of rivers and mountains. These all fall under the Semitic group of languages, leading us to conclude that Semitic languages are of Igbo extraction and that Igbo is the mother of Semitic. Cosmic words like Greek cosmos and Gaia are both derived from Canaanite qsm and gweye respectively. These two words have the same meanings in Canaanite and in Igbo, respectively: Canaanite qsm and Igbo kwasama (Owerri dialect) both mean ‘to arrange outwards’; Canaanite gweye and Igbo ngwo iyi both mean ‘ravine of water’. Greek Gaia, derived from gweye, is the name of the ancient planet which according to Sumerian prehistoric sources existed several millions of years ago, and was the mother planet of all the planets in the solar system! And Igbo goes so far back!
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). Our research shows that this name was first borne by the Hidden god Amun (Amana) before it was usurped by the son of Enki. This would suggest that it was this God lodged inside the bowels of the earth that carried out the act of creation described in Genesis. Our findings equally suggest that the hidden God was the same being known as El (Ele among the Igbo and Ela among the Yoruba). The greater number of the Igbo words in the Genesis story belong to the Orlu/Okigwe dialectal language family, so too the words in the Sumerian group. This suggests that Sumerians were mostly of the autochthonous Igbo group, the Pre-Adamic group, and descendants of the Homo Erectus migrations. The Egypt group of Igbo words however derive mostly from Anambra dialects of latter-day Igbo land, which agrees with the Igbo/Benin/Yoruba mythology of a Post-Deluge civilization founded on a raised plateau land by a god-man called Eri, whose history and characteristics agree with those of Thoth as recorded in his book The Emerald Tablet of Thoth the Atlantean.[22] Thoth’s work demonstrates a post-deluge migration from Atlantis to Nigeria, which agrees with Egyptian mythological records of the coming of Osiris and Isis to Egypt from a sinking planet – a story taken up by Plato in Timaeus and Critias and narrated in greater detail in the Emerald Tablet of Thoth the Atlantean.
Considering that Abraham’s origins were in Sumer (Ur of the Chaldees is another name for Sumer), it is tempting to believe that Sumer, and not Shem, might have been the actual origin of the word ‘Semitic’. Sumer was a place unknown, however. Its origin stems from copies of “Olden Texts” assembled in the Nineveh library of Assurbanipal, many of which list kings who call themselves “king of Akkad and king of Sumer”.[23] This led to early researchers on these texts opting to call the people “Sumerians” and their land “Sumer”. The texts actually speak of “Shumerian” and not Sumerian, while the Biblical Genesis says that Babylon, Akkad and Erech were in the land of Shin’ar. These terms are examined in A Pre-Deluge West African Civilization,” and it may be concluded that the origins of the Sumerian civilization lies in a land destroyed by the Flood, which later took root in West Africa only to be destroyed again, causing its inhabitants to disperse all over the world, some to Egypt and to Arabian lands, where they founded new cities with the same old names of their lost cities. This much is clear from the following text by Assurbanipal king of Nineveh:
“The god of scribes has bestowed on me the gift of the knowledge of his art
I have been initiated into the secrets of writing
I can even read the intricate tablets of Shumerian
I understand the enigmatic words in the stone carvings
from the days before the Flood…”
