Read Ancient African scripts from any current African language

The son of Douaouf, the brilliant, scribe of the early XIIth Dynasty Xty " Khety " said this : "The man continues to subsist after reaching the haven of death and his actions are beside him in a heap. " If regression is the main cause of the alarming situation of Africa and its tails the perceptibles consequences at all levels, the solution to this problem is eminently political. It inevitably involves the constitution of a pan-African State. For men, there is no unity without memory of the past. In fact, the construction of a federal state inevitably involves the restoration of African historical consciousness. There is no national and federal identity without a common language. The unification of Africa will only be possible if it takes the measure of its linguistic unification issue. To a lesser extent but like Cheikh Anta Diop in his book titled the Cultural Unity, I was animated throughout this heuristic by the idea that only the true knowledge of the past can maintain the consciousness and the feeling of a historical continuity essential to the consolidation of a nation for the purpose of building a multinational state in line with its past. Like Cheikh Anta Diop, I build my sureness on the legitimate idea that a people who lost a significant part of their historical memory must engage in the investigation of their past in every possible way. This investigation can take the contours of a reconnection with its past through so-called old languages. But a people can not live only with by merely repeating of what others tell them about themselves. The investigation through its linguistic past allows especially a direct knowledge of oneself. In addition to the fact that this knowledge simply highlights its weaknesses, it allows also to become aware by an introspective and therefore reflective of its real abilities and strengths. It structures being and the consciousness of being to resist any form of servile and degrading ideology. This quest for the past, not founded on blind passion but objectivity, nourishes a healthy ambition for a real universalism. To know one's past is already to project one's future. To know one's past is to give oneself the capacity to be able to bring to others in a perspective of giving and receiving. To know one's past is to refuse intellectual guardianship and wait-and-seeism. To know one's past is to be reborn.

Introduction à la lecture des Langues Anciennes africaines à partir d'une langue africaine actuelle

Le fils de Douaouf, le grand scribe du début de la XIIe dynastie Xty "Khety" disait ceci : "L'homme continue à subsister après avoir atteint le havre de la mort et ses actions sont à côté de lui en un tas". Si la régression est la cause principale de la situation alarmante de l'Afrique et ses oripeaux les conséquences perceptibles à tous les niveaux, la solution à ce problème est éminemment d'ordre politique. Elle passe inévitablement par la constitution d'un Etat panafricain. Pour les Hommes, il n'y a pas d'unité sans mémoire du passé. De fait, la construction d'un Etat fédéral passe inévitablement par la restauration de la conscience historique africaine. Il n'y a pas d'identité nationale et fédérale sans une LANGUE COMMUNE. L'unification de l'Afrique ne sera donc possible que si elle prend la mesure de son unification linguistique. Dans une moindre mesure mais à l'instar de Cheikh Anta DIOP dans l'Unité culturelle, j'ai été animé tout au long de cette heuristique par l'idée que seule la connaissance véritable du passé peut entretenir la conscience et le sentiment d'une continuité historique indispensable à la consolidation d'une nation pour un objectif de construction d'un Etat multinational conforme à son passé. Tout comme Cheikh Anta Diop, je bâtis ma certitude sur l'idée légitime qu'un peuple qui a perdu une part importante de sa mémoire historique doit se livrer à l'investigation sur son passé par tous les moyens possibles. Cette investigation peut prendre les contours d'une reconnexion avec son passé à travers des langues dites anciennes. Mais un peuple ne peut pas vivre en se contentant de répéter ce que les autres lui intiment de dire de lui-même. L'investigation à travers son passé linguistique permet surtout une connaissance directe de soi. Outre le fait que cette connaissance mette simplement en évidence ses faiblesses, elle permet de prendre conscience par une démarche introspective et donc réflexive de ses réelles capacités et de ses forces. Elle structure l'Etre et la conscience de l'Etre pour résister à toute forme d'idéologie servile et avilissante. Cette quête du passé, non fondée sur la passion aveugle mais l'objectivité, nourrit une saine ambition pour un réel universalisme. Connaître son passé, c'est déjà se projeter vers son avenir. Connaître son passé, c'est se donner la capacité de pouvoir apporter aux autres dans une
