African Written Scripts Unearthed: Beyond Egypt's Hieroglyphs
The colonial education narrative has consistently taught, and still teaches, Africans that their ancestors relied solely on oral traditions to transmit knowledge and memory. Sadly, Africans in the so-called West, Central, East, and Southern African regions are unaware of writing systems in these parts of Africa.

Does anyone here know what Nsibidi means? Well Nsibidi means: "From the beginning" or "in the beginning." And it shows you just how ancient that language is. Hidden in plain site, the meaning of the writing system is self explanatory and it means that Nsibidi is as old as civilization itself and that it is as ancient as the first people who walked this planet and who happened to be black. And these first people came from inner Africa in the region where you have the rivers Zambezi and the Congo. It has been said by research that Nsibidi is about 1,000 to 2,000 years older than Medu Neter. And for all we know it can be much older than that.

In the Wollof language, to write is [Binda], to read/learn is [Janga], and a book is [Tayray]. Long before colonization, Africans have been reading and writing.
Everybody went to the schools we had in Kemet, it was the world's first Higher Education College on the planet, their stories of how the Kings of other parts of the world went there to learn the science they sent their squires and holy men to Luxor and that's how it spread throughout the world, that's why WARS manifested on the planet, everybody wanted the knowledge much like today 🤔.

That is likely the truth. What matters most Is that they are from Africa. We will not argue chronology in this scenario.
What's really important are the books on science, religion, politics etc. Where are those books?
The Subject of Africans History, and their roles in North Africa, including Kemet/Egypt requires an approach that is free of (attitudes, accusations, defensive or aggressive energies). Like all subjects one desires to successfully convey information on, regardless of the audience, greater success is realized when we do so with Conscious Thought + Higher Mind aka Mature Mind, (where all our Positive Thought Energies and Wisdom reside, and where we are in Harmony with our self worth and confidence. From there, information supported by resource references for validation of the relative subjects, we can share information with success and enjoy the experience of doing so. There are great potentials when we realize where our personal Harmony is experienced.

According to our great scholars namely Clarke, Jochanan, Van Sertima, Browder, etc we should emphasise the Nile Valley Civilisation which contained many civilisations and Kemet was one amongst them but not the source. Nubia was the source of Kemet but you hardly spoke about Nubia. To point to Kemet as a source of the African writing systems might create problems as that might imply that the origion of them is further than Kemet (Sumerian/Asian) of which you clearly debunked, so the emphasis should be Nile Valley Civilization (which span from the Great Lakes Region, that is, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, etc) as a source as opposed to Kemet. No doubt Kemet is an African civilisation also dispite it having been usurped by others.

They were not apart of the OOA migration nor the maturing of M,N, or R in South Asia, nor were they apart of the back migration into Africa, nor were the apart of the expansion of these haplogroups into North Asia.

Before the massive modern human dispersal into Eurasia: A 55,000-year-old partial cranium from Manot Cave, Israel Author links open overlay panelGerhard W. Weber Genetic and archaeological models predict that African modern humans successfully colonized Eurasia between 60,000 and 40,000 years before present (ka), replacing all other forms of hominins. While there is good evidence for the first arrival in Eurasia around 50-45ka. All one needs to do is look at the origin dates of these haplogroups. Anything before agriculture is African . Carriers of mitochondrial DNA macrohaplogroup L3 basal lineages migrated back to Africa from Asia around 70,000 years ago Vicente M. Cabrera. Coetaneous east and westward expansions of modern humans from Central Asia The above described coincidental divergences of female and male lineages occurred during a glaciation period (70 - 100 Kya), it is possible that cold climatic conditions forced humans southwards and that, upon being confronted with the Himalayas, humans dispersed across southeastern and southwestern Asia. It is likely that this climatic change also led the Neanderthals to extend their southern range and, consequently increase their geographic overlap with humans and, possibly, Denisovans, outcompeting them in the search for resources (Figure 1). This southward retreat was more extensive in the west, as evidenced by the total occupation of the Levant by the Neanderthals approximately 70 kya [83] and the forced return of modern humans carrying the mtDNA L3 and Y-chromosome E basal lineages to Africa. However, 20 ky later the situation changed. Modern humans advanced westwards from inner Asia, displacing Neanderthals along the way and colonizing East Asia, South Asia, and Central Asia, from where they reached the Levant approximately 50 kya [84] and Europe shortly thereafter [85,86,87]. This westward colonization of modern human was also proposed based on an archaeological perspective
