Yoruba and Igbo Creation Myth, Vs Sumerian & Egyptian creation Myth

The word “God” is a combination of both Greek and Phoenician words which celebrates human attributes: G = Gomer = Wisdom, O = Oz(Uz) = Strength and D = Dabar = Beauty. There are portentous, misguided and utter piffles on the internet on various articles pertaining to Obatala and Oduduwa getting them seriously mixed up. Let me make it categorically clear that Obatala and Oduduwa did not exist during the same timeline. 

These erroneous and spurious assertions are made by people who do not know their own history, in which they try to authenticate their version of the Yoruba oral tradition by trying to link it to a European timeline. 

This is a fatal error in relation to the history of Ile-Ife, Western Nigeria, and the origin of the Yoruba tribes. The first error is to ignore the fact that: Historians categorised the writing schemes from Africa into the following groups; Syllographic Systems, Alphabetic Systems, Pictographic Systems, Petrographic Systems, Chromatographic Systems, and Philosophical Systems.... so there were many different types of scripts and just because it is unbeknown to these researchers it equates to non-existent.

It ignored the Ile-Ife (Yoruba) Creation Myth of Ifá, which states that “Obatala called (Eshin in Igboland), climbs down the chain from Heaven to Earth.” The chain is symbolic of the double helix which is the form found within genes used to store DNA (Also known as Hermes Staff, the Staff of Tehuti or the Caduceus).

Nsibidi Alphabets

 We also look at Nsibidi, which is a writing system of the Ejagham people of Eastern Nigeria. It is seen on tombstones, secret society buildings, costumes, ritual fans, headdresses, textiles, and in gestures, body and ground painting.

These scripts including Sumerian and Egyptian records have now afforded us the chance to decipher the ancient history of Ile-Ife.  Ile-Ife, according to ancient Ife myth, "is the cradle of human civilisation, the city of survivors, the spiritual seat of the modern Yorubas, where the dawn of the day was first experienced, the source, the head of the whole universe, the land of the most ancient day, the home of divinities is to the people of Ife “ILURUN” i.e Gateway to heaven." Ile-Ife is located in the southwestern part of Nigeria, West Africa.  

The History of Ile-Ife could be traced vaguely through activities and the history of the 'native' Ile-Ife Ogboni (Freemason) Society, and also to the era of the Egyptian's Horus Edfu Texts and Igbo Nri Myth, around 10,000 BCE. It can be properly traced from the time of the Sharu (priest) Kings of the Sumeria civilization sometime between 4,500 BCE and 3500 BCE in Ife-Oodaye. 

Ile-Ife has earned many enviable appellations, which are:
Ile-Ife, ile Owuro Ile-Ife, the land of the most ancient days
Ile-Ife, Oodaye Ile-Ife, where the word of creation took place
Ile-Ife, Ibi ti ojumo ti mowa Ile-Ife, where the dawn of the day was first experienced
Ile-Ife, Ori aye gbogbo Ile-Ife, head of the whole universe
Ile-Ife, Ooye Lagbo Ile-Ife the city of the Survivors.

That period of antiquity and a geological era, before the arrival of the legendary Oduduwa himself to lle-Ife, between the 4th and 5th centuries AD. The language spoken was 'Ife' and not 'Yoruba'. The ancient Ile-Ife Ogboni (Freemason) were the only people allowed to depict human beings via Edan (Images). 

The first replenishing of the earth first occurred during the time of Apsu (Freshwater) = “One who existed from the beginning” and Tiamat (Freshwater) = “The Maiden of life.” Both Fresh and Sea waters mingled together to become the first Adam and Eve, Nun and Naunet = the Primeval waters and the counter heaven, (Egyptian version). All marine life forms were supposed to have evolved from both Fresh and Sea waters. They existed during the period of the “First Moon or Silver Cycle,” known as “Morning.” 

When on high the Heavens had not been named, Firm ground below had not been called by name, Nothing but ‘Primordial Apsu’ the Begetter, [Fresh Water] and ‘Mummu Tiamat’, She Who Bore them All, [Salt Water] their waters commingling as a single body No reed hut had been matted, no marsh land had appeared, Uncalled by name, their destinies undetermined. Ile-Ife, ile Owuro Ile-Ife, the land of the most ancient days (Ile-Ife's version). 

The second replenishing of the earth occurred during the time of Lahmu (Mr. Mud) = “Deity of war” and Lahamu (Mrs. Mud) = “Lady of the battle,” Huh and Hauhet, = the boundless and its opposite, (Egyptian version). They existed during the period of the first Sun Cycle known as “Evening.” Then it was that the Gods were formed within Them. Lahmu [‘mud’] and Lahamu ‘Mrs. Mud’ was brought forth, by the name they were called Before they had grown in age and stature. Ile-Ife, Oodaye Ile-Ife, where the word of creation took place (Ile-Ife's version).

The third replenishing of the earth occurred during the time of Anshar (Upper Firmament) = “Foremost of the heavens” and Kishar (Lower Firmament) = “Foremost of the farmlands,” Kuk and Kauket, = darkness and its opposite (Egyptian version). 

They existed during the period of the “Second Moon or Silver Cycle,” known as “Morning.”Anshar ‘Upper Firmament’ and Kishar [‘Lower Firmament’] were formed, surpassing the others. 

They prolonged the days and added on the years. Ile-Ife, Ibi ti ojumo ti mowa Ile-Ife, where the dawn of the day was first experienced (Ile-Ife's version).

The fourth replenishing of the earth occurred during the time of Anu = “The Heavenly One” and his spouse Antum. Amun, or (Amon) and Amaunet, = the hidden and its opposite (Egyptian version). They existed during the period of the second Sun Cycle known as “Evening.” This cycle was the last cycle of an equinox which occurs every 24,000 years. Anu was their heir, the rival of his fathers; Yes, Anu, Anshar’s first-born, was his equal.

Dr. Kobayashi's Map

  He begot in his image Nudimmud [Ea]. This Nudimmud was the master of his fathers; Of broad wisdom, understanding, mighty in strength, Mightier by far than his grandfather Anshar. 

He had no rival among the gods, his brothers. Ile-Ife, Ori aye gbogbo Ile-Ife, head of the whole universe (Ile-Ife's version).

The fifth replenishing of the earth or the first replenishing of a new set of four cycles occurred during the time pertaining to the Bible Genesis Chapter 1. Adam (Kadmon) son of Atum and Lillith, and Eve daughter of Ptah and Anath. Ile-Ife, Ooye Lagbo Ile-Ife the city of the Survivors (Ile-Ife's version).

Stranger almost that the "Manuscript found in a Copper Cylinder" is a copy of a map which came across the seas of Honolulu from a Buddhist Temple in the mountains of central Japan. It is a map of the world made 1000 years ago. Dr. Kobayashi, the well-known Japanese physician and surgeon of Honolulu, has received a copy of the map, which he believes to have been made by Chinese priests 10 centuries ago. 

The map was drawn on the principles of the Mercator Projection showing the North Pole as the centre of a circle in which are the continents of North and South America, Europe Africa, Asia and Australia. These maps show quite a significant amount of Land masses beyond the South Pole. 

Oral myths from Southern, Central, West and East Africa speculated that "this is the home of those mythical beings and the land of the Immortals," according to the initiates. The question is were they also subjected to destruction and replenishing? Are there still beings living there now? If so what replenishing period was their civilisations created? I have no answer to these questions but they are fascinating questions nonetheless. 

Right: "Eight Discs of Ifa Wormhole" to another dimension as depicted by the initiates. The circumference of the Earth in kilometres is 40,075 km, and the circumference of the Earth in miles is 24,901. In other words, if you could drive your car around the equator of the Earth (yes, even over the oceans), you’d put on an extra 40,075 km on the odometer. 

It would take you almost 17 days driving at 100 km/hour, 24 hours a day to complete that journey. 

The formula for calculating the circumference of a sphere is 2 x pi x radius. So, the radius of the Earth is 6371 km. Plug that into the formula, and you get 2 x 3.1415 x 6378.1 = 40,074. It would be more accurate if you used more digits for pi.

What is the Earth's circumference at different latitudes? I am also curious about the equator.  
The circumference is 40,074 km.
This means a radius of 6,377 km (N. pole to equator-FE) or (centre of sphere to equator-RE)


That would work for either one, however, the measured surface distance from the N. pole to the equator is 10,001 km.  That would give us a circumference at the equator of 62,838 km
