kemetic-dreams: CULTURAL AND LITERARY EVIDENCE FOR AN EARLY AFRICAN (EARLY IGBO NSIBIDI AND BERBER TIFINAGHI) IMPACT ON SOUTHERN EUROPE: THE AFRICAN ROOTS OF EUROPEAN LITERACY Tifinagh is the writing system developed and used indigenously in North West Africa. It is used to write Northern Afrakan languages such as Tamazight, Tamajaq, Tamasheq, Amazigh, and some Hausa dialects which are spoken by about a million or so people in Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Algeria and Libya. Compare and contrast with the Nsibidi script of the Nigerian Igbos. Nsibidi or Nsibiri is an ancient writing script used by the Igbos of Nigeria, and their neighbours the Ibibios and the Akangs. Remnants of the written scripts survive today. It’s use is mostly found among the secret cultic schools which still survive in Eastern Nigeria. It is also used in the Caribbeans where it was taken by the Africans who were enslaved and used by western imperialism to build the Americas. It can be found still in Cuba, Jamaica and Haiti, Venezuela and as far as Brazil. The results of a comparative between Iberian and Nsibiri is singularly striking. It raises an irresistible inference of solid and sustain contacts between the two culture. Compare and contrast.
