La traite négrière en Afrique de l'ouest

There is light and light. The Enlightenment Century is the one where European, Arab and Black slave traders revive slavery and shoot the movie in reverse. The transatlantic route is reopened, thousands of Africans are forcibly boarded for working on the plantations in the New WorldAmerica is our new world. But for Atlantis, the new world was Europe. Go to Wild Europe History does it againHistory likes to stutter. Go to Lisez La loi d'oubli after millennia. As Bourgeon says, the ebony woodThus were called the black slaves crammed into the holds did not know that 10,000 years before, black warriors came the opposite way.

They belonged to the planetary elite before the flood. In Atlantis, they were noble. In Africa as in America, they were taken for godsThey became the sixteen gods of the Yoruba religion, as we shall see. In fact, they were rather sixteen clans than sixteen people. After the disappearance of their island-continent, they had developed a great civilization, that of the Chavins of Peru Go to Le christ des Atlantes and the OlmecsGo to Les plumes du serpent of Mexico.

Its civilizing influence will radiate all over the continent, forging sacred links with the Berbers of Morocco, the Tuaregs of the Sahara, the Dogons of Mali, the Fulanis of Senegal, the Masais of Sudan, the Nubians of Upper Egypt and even the distant Zulus of South Africa or the Bushmen of Kalahari.

All these people still remember this glorious past, as evidenced by many customs and legends, evoking the ancient gods from Orion, Sirius or the Pleiades.

 

Leo Frobenius, 1873-1938, explorateur de l'Afrique, découvreur de la culture plurimillénaire des YorubasIn every life there is that moment when one finds his sacred thread. For Frobenius,Leo Frobenius (1873-1939), German explorer and ethnologist, expert in Yoruba culture, the author of "Atlantis, mythology and culture", from which are drawn the following quotes this was the meeting with a "Black from West Coast of Africa" who told him: "In my country, every man is, by seniority, a large stone." Suddenly converted, Frobenius grabbed his sacred thread that guided him through the ancient Yoruba culture. He collected facts, festivals and fairies. "It did not take me less than nine to ten years to fully understand this sentence", he confessed. (Source)

Masque yoruba, NigerLeo Frobenius made an astonishing parallel between the Etruscans and the Yorubas. According to him, Etruria as the Yoruba country are two provinces of a very old "Atlantic civilization" he identifies with Plato's Atlantis. The Etruscans, a little known people, direct descendant of Megalithics and Atlanteans, were installed in northern Italy before that the Romans arrived. The Yoruba country, the ancient gold coast, corresponds to the current Ivory Coast, plus Ghana, Benin, Togo, Niger, Burkina Faso and a part of Mali.

Cette conception fulgurale, héritée des Atlantes, que partagent les Etrusques et les YoroubasFrobenius stresses that the two countries, though far apart, share "this fundamental idea of the lightning spurting from the sixteen regions of the sky." He mentions this "lightning conceptionGo to page that the EtruscansGo to page transmitted to the Romans." (source)Leo Frobenius, Atlantis The sixteen great gods whose homes are in the sixteen divisions of the sky,are common to Etruscans and Yorubas. That is why the cities were divided in sixteen districts reflecting the celestial homes and the personality of their sixteen divine occupants.

 

La déesse Ifa ou Fa, portant la coupe qui sert à l'oracle. Sculpture yoruba, Côte d'Ivoire"All this is the projection of sixteen archetypal figures: the sixteen figures of the Oracle of Fa, itself derived from the ancient geomancy." (source) Bernard Maupoil, Geomancy in the old Slave Coast, 1961 The Oracle of Fa does not refer to the music noteEspecially the F sharp, which is a very particular note. Go to La technologie des dieux but to the goddess Fa or Ifa, one of the sixteen Yoruba deities. Fa governs clairvoyance and divination through a ritual that is still practiced. The other deities of Yorubas remind of the Greek, Etruscan and Aztec gods : Uranus is Obatalla, the god of heaven; Hephaestus is Ogun, god of the forge; Zeus is Shango, the god of thunder and lightning, with his unique destiny: Shango hanged himself. Come on! Aren't the Yoruba gods immortal?

 

 

Comparez Ifa avec Tlaloc, dieu de la foudre en MésoAmérique. Une source commune ?

The god Shango hanged himself, then he left this reality level to live his death, as the good spirit he was. Where is the problem? The gods are men like us. Remember that the Yoruba country knows the loasEvil spirits that take possession of your body. Go to Zombis sorcerers and zombies:Go to page voodoo and macumba come from there. Here everyone is descended from one of the sixteen deities, according to his date of birth. All his life, he will worship his tutelary deity. But there is neither caste nor clan system, as the different children in a family may be descended from different deities.

 

Les seize directions du ciel comme les seize pétales de la rose des vents

 

In this specific case, tradition is not a social obstacle, but an asset. Anyone can enrich his family with his own inner wealth, from his own tradition.

The Etruscans, for the little we know, followed a similar religion. Should we see here a true astrological religion based on sixteen signs instead of twelve? In any case, it is certainly a memory of Atlantis, homeland of the Etruscans and the Yorubas.

 

Sur la rose des vents figurent toujours seize directions dont les noms sont indiqués ici en initiales. Here is another track: wouldn't the sixteen divisions of the sky show that the Yoruba gods came from the sea? If there is a place where it is important to divide the horizon into sixteen directions, it is definitely the wide ocean. From time immemorial, sailors have included wind rose on their marine maps, which is their strongest ally in the liquid desert, the compass rose. We can find on it the sixteen directions of the sky cherished by the Yoruba gods, who were probably high seas' sailors, to whom the direction was very important.

 

‘A negro with a ship fastened to his hat’: Joseph Johnson by J T Smith. Black sailors wounded...These sailors were probably coming from the other side of the Atlantic, some 9,000 years ago. This could explain many cultural similarities that can be found between the two shores of the South Atlantic. Other authors have highlighted the existence of a maritime tradition in West Africa during the early history, these include Harry Bourne,He noticed that ancient Yoruba used a simplified form of wind rose.

Le tombeau étrusque, une aventure d'Alix, par Jacques MartinAs for the Etruscans, their worship of the "sixteen divisions, sixteen deities" also accredits their transatlantic origin, like the Tuatha dé Danann.Go to page Of the Etruscans, we do not know much, except that they were the initiators and civilizers of a nation of warriors who will become the powerful Roman Empire. And of the Tuatha, we know almost nothing except that they have played the same role of trainers for the Celts. Little by little, a new empire is formed on the ruins of another time.

To those who care about national identity and who would like to restore in the heart of every French the pride of inheriting a glorious past, we may suggest this track: by making the merging of the two currents that have made Europe, namely the Celtic tradition and the Roman law, the Gallo-Roman France illustrates at the same time the unification of two post-Atlantean traditions, those of the Tuatha and the Etruscans. Through the Celts and Romans, France is a distant descendant of Atlantis. Like Africa.

 

And like America ... All of them united in a new triangular trade.

For a better issue? Wait and see.
