Igbo-Ukwu: A Lost African Civilization?
According to Professor Catherine Acholonu, Igbo-Ukwu in South-Eastern Nigeria is an important site that provides evidence of a lost Ancient African Civilization that also establishes Africa’s connection to Ancient Kemet, Sumer and Dravidian India.
Igbo-Ukwu is thus an important site because it challenges the traditional narrative of African history.
The Connection between Igbo-Ukwu and Heliopolis
According to Professor Acholonu, there is a connection between Igbo-Ukwu and Heliopolis, an Ancient Egyptian city known for its religious and cultural significance.
Acholonu argues that the ancient artifacts and remains found in Igbo-Ukwu, including bronzes and pottery, have similarities in design and style to those found in Heliopolis. She believes that this suggests a connection between the two cultures and that the ancient Igbo people may have had contact with ancient Egypt.
Acholonu also argues that the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Igbo people, as evidenced by the artifacts and remains found in Igbo-Ukwu, have similarities to those of ancient Egypt. For example, both cultures believed in an afterlife and had similar burial practices.
This further supports the idea of a connection between the two cultures.
The Connection Between The Igbo Script and Ancient Egyptian, Sumerian and Dravidian
Professor Acholonu also claims that Igbo-Ukwu has connections to the ancient scripts of Egypt, Sumer, and Dravidian cultures.
Acholonu argues that the Igbo script found at Igbo-Ukwu bears similarities to the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt, cuneiform of ancient Sumer, and the Brahmi script of ancient Dravidian cultures. She claims that the similarities in the forms and shapes of the characters in these scripts, as well as the presence of similar symbols, suggest a possible connection between these cultures.
Acholonu also argues that the presence of the Igbo script at Igbo-Ukwu suggests that the Igbo people had a written language at a very early stage of their history.
The Connection Between The Igbo Spoken Language and Ancient Egyptian, Sumerian and Dravidian
The Igbo language spoken at Igbo-Ukwu also has connections to the ancient spoken languages of Egypt, Sumer, and Dravidian cultures according to Professor Acholonu who argues that the Igbo language spoken at Igbo-Ukwu shares similarities with ancient Egyptian, Sumerian, and Dravidian languages in terms of grammar, syntax, and vocabulary.
She claims that these similarities suggest that the Igbo language may have originated from or been influenced by these ancient languages.
Acholonu also argues that the presence of a common origin for these languages would explain the similarities in religious beliefs and practices, as well as the similarities in artifacts and remains found in Igbo-Ukwu and these ancient cultures.
The Connection Between The Nsude Pyramids and Ancient Egypt
Catherine Acholonu also suggests that there is a connection between the Nsude Pyramids in Nigeria and the pyramids of Ancient Egypt.
Professor Acholonu argues that the Nsude Pyramids, located in the town of Nsude in Nigeria, share similarities in design, construction, and purpose with the pyramids of Ancient Egypt. She claims that the pyramids were built for religious and spiritual purposes, as well as for the burial of important individuals.
Acholonu also argues that the similarities in design and construction of the Nsude Pyramids and the pyramids of Ancient Egypt suggest a possible connection between the two cultures. She believes that this connection may have been established through trade, migration, or the spread of cultural and religious ideas.
The Connection Between Igbo Dwarfs and The First Ancient Egyptian People
The Igbo dwarfs also known as the “Igbo Ukwu Dwarfs” also provide a link between Igbo-Ukwu and the first ancient Egyptian people because the first Egyptian people were Igbo-speaking according to Professor Acholonu.
The Igbo-Ukwu Dwarfs were
