I was subscribed to academia.edu being an alumnus of unilag, on one of my random web surfing I found a document that essentially links ancient old Egyptian to theYoruba language. The ancient scripts were obviously written in hieroglyphic forms, sustained efforts have helped archaeologists and linguists to vocalize these hieroglyphs and its amazing how there's a link between the two, I'm especially astounded because this link was drawn on linguistic grounds, the research links ancient pharaonic Egyptian with Yoruba and Mbochi (bantu) languages an the following grounds
1. They are cognate on the basis of regular sound correspondences
2. Lexical correspondences by alveolar liquid /r/ initial
3. Lexical correspondences by unvoiced
alveolar fricative /s/ initial

For those who would love to see the body of work because this post doesn't do justice to subject, please google 'Ancient Egyptian and Modern Yoruba: phonetic regularity' by Theophile Obenga for full script.

If anyone has any knowledge on this issue please share with.

I have read papers about the similarities. Kayfra, Macof take note of this article.

We have dealt with this
Please there's no point to another repeating the same thing

Those so called Cognates between Ancient Egyptian and Yoruba had been found to be words that don't exist in ancient Egyptian language

1. It's all made up stuff
2. Even if you give the benefit of the doubt. You end up comparing ancient language to a current one. Language isn't static

Point to the thread where this was "dealt with" and with conclusion of the unrelatedness.

When you are cornered with facts its always ...." We have dealth with this...."

Show us the methodology you applied to disprove these facts.
