From their mythical ancestors the ÉKANG inherited the Mvett — an epic of glorious origin. But what if that epic was a veil?
The Mvett, revealed to Oyono Ada Ngono, makes the ÉKANG the daughters and sons of the Immortals of Engong-Zok-Mebegue. This book sets that founding epic in direct contradiction with a radical historical thesis: the ÉKANG are, in fact, descendants of the YEHUDIM of the ancient land of Judea.
After the Judean–Roman wars (66–73 and 132–135 CE) and Hadrian's expulsion edicts, the exiles crossed Egypt's southern frontier, found the Kushite cities of Meroë and Napata, and followed the caravan roads to the Atlantic coast of Upper Guinea. There they built a new Kingdom of Judah, at its zenith in the 15th century, before the transatlantic slave trade swept it away.
A few survivors retreated into the Sokoto empire, thwarted the plans of Caliph Usman dan Fodio (1804–1805) and, guided by OWÔN' NKÖRÉ, braved a river held to be impassable. The conquest of their new lands coincided with the aftermath of the Berlin Conference (1884–1885).
- Is the Mvett a myth of substitution?
- Where is the true history of the YEHUDIM who became ÉKANG hidden?
- What place does the prophecy of Deuteronomy 28 hold in this tangle?
A fascinating, iconoclastic investigation that obliges the ÉKANG nation to examine its own history: how much is truth, and how much is forgetting, in the search for identity?
The evidence
- Deuteronomy 28 read as the frame of the whole journey: the blessings and curses attached to fidelity or disobedience toward YHWH.
- Jeremiah 31:33 and Revelation 7:5 on the covenant written in the heart and the tribe of Judah among the sealed.
- Kings, Chronicles and Ezra for the documented context of the Judean exiles; the prophets Isaiah, Ezekiel and Hosea for the cycles of covenant and punishment.
