Nsibidi

Nsibidi is also referred to as nsibiri, nchibiddi, and nchibiddy.  It was formed in what is now known as southeastern Nigeria.  It was used from 400 to 1400 CE. It featured thousands of symbols in which there is a record of 500.

It is fascinating to learn of the methods that our ancestors used to communicate with one another, Africa has a prominent influence on the languages used throughout the world today.
