Yoruba World Exploration And The Loss Of Dynasties
By Farouk Martins, Omo Aresa
The ancient Yoruba were one of the most accommodating and the most adventurous people on earth. They were the explorers who went beyond their surroundings. They were the traders who exchanged goods and services. They were the Aromires (sea friendly admirals) and the Olokos (boat owners) who went on 12 months voyage by Irawo-oko (canoe-star), ships, as elephant warriors and priests. They traveled north and south of the Nile, Mesopotamia, from one coast to another, to Asia, Australia and the Americas. Africans were known in Americas before Columbus: Washita in Mississippi Valley 6000 B.C, the Caribs of the West Indies. We all agreed that mankind started from Africa, see Dr. Spencer Wells research on Y and X chromosomes, but vacillated on the spread of civilization.
The Yoruba left marks by spreading their genes, arts, sciences, culture and religion. They are born out by ancient artistic stone monoliths dated before Christ and later by terracotta, underground drainage system and cabinet form of government. Thanks to archeology, arts, sciences and devoted scholars that are still unraveling these past accomplishments. The history of the Yoruba before present era (BC) and their cousins can be told intelligently even by what we know now.
Iwo Eleru, around 10,000 B.C, has confirmed the Yoruba civilization, religion and spread from Ife to other Yoruba cities in spite of preservation problem in the rain forest. One has to put this excavation in proper perspective:
Iwo Eleru, Nubian culture around�������10,000 B.C
Indian culture ������� 6,000 B.C
Mesopotamia culture ������... 3,500 B.C
China culture �������3,000 � 2,200 B.C
Malanesia and South Pacific Hawaii �����.. 2,000 B.C
Olmec Mexico �����.. 1,100 B.C
Some have always wondered why Yoruba wrote on people's arm and body and devised systematic numbers by tens, twenty and hundred but restricted them to a few who could read and write. These marks, tattoos, and symbols are still shared with the Sudanese. Esusu (susu) economics is still shared all over the black world. A book, Edidi, brought back to IFE by Oduduwa on his sojourns on the Nile Valley can still not be interpreted?
