It is not often acknowledged but Africa is the source of the majority of writing systems used today. Yet very little has been written about this subject.

Scripts from Hindi, Arabic, Roman etc trace their roots to ancient egypt hieratic and demonic.

Look at the 'roman' symbol N for example, this can be traces to the ancient egyptian water hieroglyphics.

In this thread let us discuss the evolution/ history of african scripts including also the less known west african Bamun scripts.

Yes Africa is the source of the world writing system today. Egyptian hieratic and demotic are the mother of the Phoenician, Hebrew, Arabic, Greek and Roman alphabet.

Some scholar state the Chinese and Japanese scripts are linear Egyptian hieratic and demotic.

Marc Washington and Clyde Winter showing that the Nubian Alphabet is the mother of Phoenician and Western Alphabet.

The first syllabic writing system of Africans was the Thinite script. This writing was used first by Blacks in Nubia, like the Niger-Congo people who migrated out of this region into the rest of Africa.

 -

The Thinite script provides many of the signs that are included in later scripts used by Africans.

In Nubia, Black Africans were using Thinite symbols before the rise of Egypt to record their ideas and report on important events.

 -

At this time your people may have been living in the caves of the Caucasus mountains.


This writing was later used by Africans to write inscriptions throughout Middle Africa.

 -

The evidence of this writing is found throughout the Sahara. By the time Mande speaking people settled Dar Tichitt they left numerous inscriptions.

The people of Dar Tichitt were Mande speakers. These Mande speaking people also lived in the Fezzan where they were called Garamante/Garamandes. The Garamante settled Crete and are recognized as the Eteo-Cretans or Minoans.
 -

As you can see from the above chart the Linear A signs and Mande/Manding signs are identical. If you look careful you will note that Africans, or Black people had also taken their writing system to Anatolia were your ancestors were living in the Caucasus mountains as hunter-gatherers.

The Minoans, who were Africans introduced Linear A, whose signs are identical to the writing left by Africans throughout the Sahara, like those found at Tichitt and presently represented in the Vai and several other West African scripts.


Your people adopted this writing to write business documents and we know it as Linear B.

Europeans only got writing from the Egyptians. The Greeks who obtained writing from the Blacks of Africa and Phonesia passed on writing to the Romans. With the fall of Rome Western Europeans got writing from the African Muslims who taught them the arts and sciences.

This European writing system was created by African people. It was based on the Thinite script.


 -


The Proto-Magyar were one of the many ethnic groups which formerly lived in the Fertile African Crescent. They offered prayers to *kan, e.g., Magyar kan, konyorog, Manding kani, and Dravidian ka-n. They also worshipped the god Amon, who they called Anya

The name Maa is found in many Proto-Saharan ethnonyms. For example the Manding called themselves Ma-nde (the children of Ma), the Sumerians called themselves Mah-Gar-ri (exalted God's children), and the Magyar of ancient times referred to themselves as Muh-ger-ri , or Ma-ka-r (exalted children).

According to David MacRitchies the most ancient Uralic speakers were called czernii ugris or 'Black Ugris'. The Ugris were also called Hunni. The name Ugrian, is the origin for the word Hungarian. The Hungarians were also called Sabatocospali ,"the Blacks".

The Carpathian blacks arrived in the area in the 4th millennium B.C. The Tripolye culture dates from 3800 to 2100 B.C. The Tripolye culture was established in the Ukraine, Moldavia and Romania along the Siret River in the Ukraine. The Tripolye people may have collected/cultivated
barley, millet and wheat. They also had domesticated cattle, sheep-goats and pigs. As in Africa, their principle domesticate at this time was cattle .

During the middle Neolithic copper was being exploited in several mountainous regions of Europe. The center for copper mining in Europe was the Carpathian mountains. Many copper objects have been found on Tripolyean sites .

Many animal and human figurines have been found on Tripolyean sites. The Tripolye rotund ceramic female figurines are analogous to the rotund female figurines found in ancient Nubia.

It appears that for over a millennium the Linear Pottery and Cris farming groups practiced agriculture in the core region of Tripolyean culture. The middle Neolithic Tripolye people on the other hand are associated with cattle herding and mining.

The Vinca people in addition to possessing writing were also engaged in copper metallurgy. They also made clay and stone figurines and fine pottery. As among the contemporary Nubians and Tripolyeans culture the Vinca people made fine human and animal figurines .


In conclusion the archaeological evidence suggest that The Old Europeans may have been Blacks who carried the N1 lineage to Europe that were later replaced by Indo-European speaking populations. There were probably no ancient white foragers of farmers in ancient Europe.

The Tartarian writing was invented in Africa.

It is based on the Thinite writing systems which was used by African people to write their language in ancient times.

In 1983,Vamos-Toth Bator and I deciphered the Tartarian tablets and discovered that it is not relating to an astrological event, it was an amulet worn by a Proto-Magyar dignitary.

 -
Figure2: The Symbols on the Tartaria Tablet

 -


Figure 3: The Tartaria Tablet

This amulet was deciphered by giving the characters of the Tartarian tablet phonetic values consistent with the Proto-Saharan script. Winters and Vamos-Toth found that the interpretation of the Tartarian tablet in Magyar and Manding was quite similar. Reading the Tartarian inscription from left to right in
Magyar we have:


  • Jo taj dogo ko.
    "Goodness here adheres(to you from) the Deity.
    Taj-a to bo.
    Here the source of abundance.
    To egybe .
    (The Deity is) the source of Unity.
    Ko ne.
    The Deity (is) for me.
    Mi ont ke
    Which integrates (me) into one Unity (with the Deity)."

     -


    Breakdown of Symbols on Tartarian Tablet
    This Magyar decipherment corresponds to the Manding reading of the same signs:
    Yo ta togo Ko
    "(Make my) Present state of Existence here the Refuge[of] God
    Ne Ko
    My God
    fo to
    (is a) pleasant Refuge
    Mi nde Ge
    to consume indeed Purity."

    The use of the term Ko to denote God, by the Proto-Magyar in the Tartarian amulet, supports the Kushite origin of the Magyar people who made this amulet.

    The genetic unity of the Magyar and Mande translations show the African origin of the ancient Tartarians.


The Vinca Tordos culture is very interesting because of the evidence of writing found in this culture. The famous Tartaria tablets were produced by the Vinca Tordos culture. The Vinca Tordos culture is associated with western Bulgaria, southwest Romania and Yugoslavia.


In conclusion the archaeological evidence suggest that The Old Europeans may have been Blacks who carried the N1 lineage to Europe that were later replaced by Indo-European speaking populations. There were probably no ancient white foragers or farmers in ancient Europe until after 2000BC.

People always want to say that blacks never invented writing. We invented most of the world's writing systems. Cuneiform, hierolgyphs, hieratic, demotic, Meroitic, Phoenician (our modern alphabet), Hebrew, Sanskrit, Persian Pahlavi and Avestan, Sabean, Aramaic, Thamudic, and more. It is whites who have not invented any writing systems. Even the "Roman" numerals are of Phoenician origin. The numerals we commonly use are from India.
