Zusatztext

The volume begins with Igbo Afa language, a universal and mother of all languages now known to few Dibias, artists, high priests/priestesses. Igbo Ugili Divination,mother of literacy and post-literacy, accesses records in Aka Ose with it, a feat which defies modern science. Demotic Igbo comes from Afa. How world languages, particularly English borrowed from Igbo will surprise readers. Igbo counting and numerology, helping Igbos produce topmost Dibias like Afadu,Taliesen,Ogma, Pioneer smiths/technologists, mathematicians,astrologers, pyramid writing, mystical spin-offs like Kalacakra, Okwu and Ukpolo, correct timing of festivals, mystical and religious events are handled. Igbos got to 4th quadrant of the Globe with Mbes Ekili flight with his household to escape hydrocele. Others followed. Some drawings,murals, pictographs and petroglyphs, mishandled by previous writers, are corrected and missing links added. Hopi language, deities,rituals and mysticism, are Oshambalas. Ancient song holding the history opened the last chapter. Translation of a humpbacked flutists song who planted seeds as he went, which previous writers and Hopi descendants found impossible, concluded the chapter.
