Every facet of Egytian records showed their indebtedness to these nomadic hunters, the god-men, the kingless society (the Never-been-ruled), the people who owned the pyramid culture and the people whose creation myth is anchored on the primordial mound; these were the philosophers, teachers and scribes who made use of scarified inscriptions on ancient stones: the people who gave ancient Egypt her civilization when she still retained her original name. Egyptology is now aware that the land of the rising sun is not in East Africa, instead West Africa. It is evident here that the history of the peasants (the hunters) who settled along the coastal region of the Nile River is necessary to almost (if not) all the answer concerning the evolution of the Egyptian culture and civilization.
Igbo Ukwu was the city Heliopolis shared by the world
The land-marks by which this forest city of Rama was known, were the same characteristics by which the ancient Egyptian city of Heliopolis (City of the Sun) and Ifa Holy City of Ife, were known. Igbo Ukwu shared the exact same attributes with Ifa Holy City ‘Old Ife’, and Benin Holy City ‘Uhe’. Heliopolis of Egypt was also called Yebu i.e. Igbo – the original name of Igbo Ukwu, as well as Abydos. All were jungle cities. All were built on a plateau. All were referred to as the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. All were build by a god, raised from a flooded area and called ‘City of Light’.
Igbo Lady "Iruopa" Is The Black Madonna of Europe.
We found to our amazement that many objects excavated at Igbo Ukwu were depicted in Cretan Hiero-glyphs (plates 3/3b) – these include vases, pots, animal heads, horned heads, parts of the human body, such as the mouth, eyes, hands, legs, etc. Igbo Ukwu symbols such as zigzag, spiral, whirling sun, cross-hatching, concentric circles, crescents, crosses, X-shaped cross, lines and triangles and palm-frond symbols found on Igbo Ukwu pottery and bronzes.
Cretan letters found at the palace of king Minos by Archaeologist Arthur Evans reflect inscriptions found at Igbo Ukwu and confirm our already expressed theory (see They Lived) that Cretan civilization was influenced/founded by the Igbo-speaking family of Canaan and his ‘moon-faced’ daughter ‘Europa’, who gave her name to Europe. According to Greek mythology her name, ‘Europa’ means ‘moon-face’ or ‘round face’, which is the same thing it means in Igbo: Iruopa.
It was her sons, Phoenix and Kadmus, who founded most of the great nations of the Aegean and the Middle East, especially Phoenicia and Crete. At Delphi, Europa functioned as the goddess, Hera, and ruled the Aegean through her priestesses until she was overthrown by Zeus through the latter’s sons. This greatest of all matriarchs and founding mothers of Europe still survives to this day as the powerful Black Madonna of Europe.

The fact that most, if not all, such words belong mostly to the defunct Igbo afa vocabulary, that is to say, words used by the Igbo Shaman/priests, but not by the common folk, has much to say about the period of contact or birth of the child language among the two, i.e Sanskrit, for Afa language was in use in Igbo land in the earliest days of the birth of the Igbo nation. Afa was the language of the immortal ‘First People’ whom the Igbo call by a range of names such as Adama, Ndi Agali Odi, Ndi Ichie Akwu.
According to Emeritus Professor John Umeh, a practising Afa initiate, Afa was the oldest language on earth, a language handed down by God which was/is understood by all the members of the ecosystem including animals and trees; and afa was the earliest form in which Igbo was handed down to humankind at the beginning. Afa was the language of the first god-men who took up incarnation on earth. It was a language to which all life gave ear, out of which only a remnant still survives today, namely in the utterances of afa (native Igbo) priests. Afa language was not spoken but sung.

AFA – THE ANCIENT IGBO LANGUAGE OF THE FIRST HUMANS
We found that the original form in which Igbo was spoken was in the form which is known as Afa – the language of the first people. Research conducted and published by Prof. Angulu Onwuejeogwu formerly of University of Benin and by Professor Emeritus John Umeh of UNN, show that Afa was the language of oracle. It had been handed down in the time of the First Humans, who according to Igbo mythologies, Hebrew Genesis and The Egyptian Book of the Dead, lived in the world at the time when “death had not yet come into the world” and God communed freely with man. These First People were god-men. In recent usage they and their unmixed descendants were/are called Mmadu Chukwu/Mmadu Okpu/Adama or Eshi/Nshi). Surviving folk memory insists that they could travel long distances by the power of mind control. They were perfectly in tune with their environment, and both flora and fauna responded to and understood the Afa language spoken by these god men and god-women. Today traces of Afa can still be found in the cult language of masqueradesinitiation ceremonies and Ifa divination sessions among the Yoruba, Benin, Igala, Igbo and others. Its presence in the cult languages of masquerades in parts of the Middle Belt region of Nigeria, show a common origin with the Igbo. Afa language appears to have been used all over the world at a time when the population of the world was small. This language which the First Human Family probably spoke was bequeathed to the rest of the human family over time, because we have seen vestiges and remnants of words with similar Igbo sounds and meanings in most languages that we have studied around the world including Chinese, Turkish, English, Eskimo, Greek, Cretan, Egyptian, Akkadian, Sanskrit, Canaanite, Sumerian, Hebrew – the last four being Semitic.
In fact many surviving international words that have found themselves in Englishlanguage from its Roman, French and Celtic influences turn out to have etymological roots in Igbo/Afa. Apart from numerous basic words like cock (okuko), fair (mfe), go (gaa), say (saa), pray (ekpere), choir (ukwe ora), animal (anumanu), the following generic words indicate that Igbo was the root of the international linguistic phenomenon: Create (kere – etu, which means in Afa ‘Created the laws of life’); Eve (Ava/Afa) – Logos; Life – (Ele ife) ‘Light of Ele’/‘Light of God’ (Ele is the god of the Autochthons and equivalent of Hebrew El, Yoruba Ela and Muslim Allah); Love (Ele Ovu/Ofu) – ‘One God’; Oracle (Ora okala) - ‘Divination’; Prince (Opara Eshi) – ‘Sun king’ King (Ikenga) – ‘Power base of manhood’; Circle (okirikiri Ele) – ‘Surround Ele’; Good (Ogu Odi) – ‘Truth and Justice Being’; Chief (Ichie Efu) – ‘non initiate Community head’; Queen (Akwu Nne) – ‘Nesting place of the Mother Deity; Mind (Omi Ndu) – ‘Depth of Life/Spirit’; Human (Oha mmuo ana) – ‘Community of Earth-dwelling Spirits’; Temple (Ite mkpu ele) – ‘Anthill of Ele/Dwelling Place of the deity on earth’…

Igboland was the hub of a global civilization
We have found Igbo Ukwu excavated symbols to share similarities with ancient writing systems of the Middle East, such as Old Cretan Linear A/B, Cretan Hieroglyphics, Cypro-Minoan, Old Sumerian, Proto-Palestinian, Elamite-Indic, Proto-Sinaitic, Hittite and Old Phoenician, to name a few (see plate 1). This has but one implication, namely that ancient Igbos had a writing system and a civilization whose influences reached as far as the Middle East by at least the second millennium B.C. This confirms our thesis that Igbo Ukwu (Igbo) was the hub of a global civilization that had not only not only influenced latter-day Egypt, but was actually its lost mythical capital Yebu, otherwise known as Heliopolis – “City of the Sun’.
Jews were a Nigerian tribe of scribes of the Igbo God Ele
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.
