Nigerian pre-history is fascinating. Izon people populated Niger Delta approx. 800 BCE. We lived in same time as the Nok people.

According to oral history, we migrated to the Niger Delta from km.t during Third Intermediate Period of Egypt, Bubastite Dynasty.

According to our oral history, the original name of the Izon people is ORU. ORU is derived from ‘Horus’ k.k.a HERU/ḥr.w 𓅃

The sheer number of Izon words that are closely linked to mdw ntr is honestly astounding.
