This book attempts to offer some insights into an area of West Africa, that can help take the wonders of Ancient Egypt out of the realm of myths and folklore. The credit belongs to the Ancient Egyptians who had managed to keep extensive records of their history and achievements which spanned an exceptionally long period. Anang , Efik and Ibibio peoples also can be recognized, for maintaining a spoken language that has not changed very much from that spoken by the Ancient Egyptians at the various stages of their development, including a very unique culture that allows for uncomplicated linkage of these two domains .What can be gleaned from these attributes can present some formidable questions for the present, as far as could relate to our understanding of the genesis of the three main "Middle Eastern" religious movements, and the evolution of aspects of our scientific enterprise. The main object is to allow for the spoken words of the Ancient Egyptians to come to life in the form they would have understood them .The fact that other peoples such as Semites, Persians, Greeks represented "egyptian" words a certain way, does not warrant the need to perpetuate such corruption, as this would rob the words of their true essence. Much as the "pidgin" words "ikobi , inokobi", would not sound familiar to the English person as the words "to be, or not to be", neither could "words" such as miri, kem, osiris represent Ancient Egyptian muara, ekim and ase respectively.The expectation is that Efik people, referenced as the representative group for the sake of simplicity, can help lead as far as possible, in refocusing on the ways and mysteries of a civilization that might have introduced to the world, the very vehicle that would eventually lead to the light.
