Are Igbos Descended From Ancient Sumerians? by Rossikk(m): 10:34pm On Jun 09, 2019 |
Do you realise Igbos are speaking the language of the ancient Sumerians? The Sumerians called themselves ''saggigi'' - the black-headed people. The Igbo term for black people today is ''Ndi Isi Oggi'', or ''black-headed people''. The cities of ancient Sumer have many highly Igbo-sounding names like: Uruk Adab Akkad Isin Umma Eridu Eshinunna Zabala Kutha Hamazi ''Sumer is the earliest known civilization in the historical region of southern Mesopotamia, modern-day southern Iraq, during the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze ages, and one of the first civilizations in the world along with Ancient Egypt and the Indus Valley. Living along the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates, Sumerian farmers were able to grow an abundance of grain and other crops, the surplus of which enabled them to settle in one place. Prehistoric proto-writing dates back before 3000 BC. The earliest texts, from c. 3300 BC, come from the cities of Uruk and Jemdet Nasr; early cuneiform script emerged around 3000 BC.'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumer |

That could be an issue to be resolved by ethnographers and good Anthropologists. .. Every tribe has an origin. 3 Likes |

I leaved in obowo LGA Imo state for one year during NYSC and that place always made me like I was watching the book of Genesis in 3d video. They don't kill monkeys there, the monkeys are believed to be their ancestors and there are streams in otoko town that look like ancient mining sites 1 Like |
