The Afrikan Origin of Writing

THE AFRIKAN ORIGIN OF WRITING

Explore the rich history of writing in Africa, from its roots in the ancient Pharaonic civilization to its evolution and influence in modern African societies. This video delves into the birthplace of hieroglyphics in ancient Egypt, the lesser-known Nubian and Meroitic scripts of Nubia and Kush, and the significance of the Ge'ez script in Ethiopia and Eritrea. We also examine indigenous West African writing systems like Nsibidi and Ajami, their use in communication and record-keeping, the impact of colonialism on African writing traditions, and the resurgence of interest in these scripts in post-colonial Africa. Additionally, we highlight how contemporary African writers and scholars are preserving traditional writing systems while blending them with modern literature. Join us on this fascinating journey through time to understand how writing has shaped and been shaped by African civilizations across millennia.
