It was recorded, in history, as the battle of the greats. It's not what you think! It's not a fist fight; it's a battle of the beautiful minds. It's a great debate.
The show was set at the Temple of Amen in Menefa, now Memphis. The temple was as majestic as the Pharaoh, himself, sitting royally on his throne. Standing next to the pharaoh, on stage, were two Maggistos. On the right was Djehuti, the African (aka Thoth, Idris), and on the left was Hermes, the Greek. The audience was an army of Horite priests. They're as interesting as the topic of the debate: "what's the greatest number?"
Hermes opened up the debate by pronouncing, emphatically, "10" the greatest number. Without much ado, Djehuti stepped forward and pronounced "2" as the greatest number. The epistemology of number 10 being deemed the greatest number is self-evident - humans have ten fingers. But 2, not so much; it's counter-intuitive.
The pharaoh couldn't believe his ears. He was visibly annoyed. He looked at Djehuti and asked, "how could number 2 be greater than 10?" The Horite priests nodded their heads in agreement. Djehuti stepped forward to defend his thesis and his waning reputation. He looked up and asked the Horite priests: "are you all ignorant of your craft?" "Do you not know that 2 is the number of divination?" - in other words, 2 is the number of IFA. In a more conciliatory tone, he further explained himself to the audience: "when I spoke of 2 as the greatest number, I wasn't talking about what one could count with one's fingers. I was talking, however, about the hidden and the revealed, odd and even, the two-truths, the universal opposites!" The debate ended as scheduled. Djehuti won. He was already great, but with his victory, he's now thrice great (Trismegistus).
Fast forward to the Common Era. The greatest numbers die hard! The Greco-Romans invented a composite God, IESUS XPICTOC (Jesus the Christ). They set his first initial "I" to number 1, the beginning and his last initial "X" to their greatest number, 10, the end - Roman numerals; the Alpha and the Omega!
Meanwhile, somewhere in Spain, a self-taught philosopher, Raymond Lull, was obsessed with Djehuti who lived Millenia prior. Lull had read about the great debate in the temple of Amen, in Menefa, and had made it his life's mission to decode Djehuti's "two-truths." He learned, from a reliable source that, the Chinese were using the "two-truths" for divination - Ikin or I Ching. How, he couldn't discern! He turned to the Almoravid Africans in Córdoba, knowing they're gifted diviners, and asked them about the two-truths. The Moors gave him the break he had sought all his life. "The two-truths is Ifa, binary, 0s and 1s," they revealed to him! Lull went on to build his logic gates on IFA, which is the basis of all computer systems, today.
All in all, the Greco-Romans went on to conquer the world with their invented God, but IFA, being the basis of computer system, is freeing the minds of people around the world, today.

Roman Numerals and letter to digit denotation
Classical chronologists originally used letters to denote digits. For example, the Greco-Romans believed that "10" was a sacred number; consequently, they denoted the first letter of the prevalent anagram of their anointed, XPICTOC (Anglicized Christ), with the number 10. That is, X=10.
However, when Iesus (Anglicized Jesus) was elevated to the Christ status, the chronologists denoted the first letter of his name (I.e. I) with number 1; that is I=1, and they started their calendar from year 1 since Iesus. For example, year 100 since Iesus = I.100 = 1100 AD. Similarly, year 200 since Iesus = I.200 = 1200 AD etc.
According to the new chronologists, Fomenko et al, the mystery of "letter to digit" denotation was plausibly lost in the Middle Ages; consequently, the Jesuit-chronologists of the Middle Ages dropped the letter I, erroneously shifting the Western chronology or timeline back 1000 years. For example, year 100 since Iesus or I.100 (I.e. 1100AD) was erroneously recorded as year 100 AD after the first letter "I" had been dropped. Subsequent events and years were erroneously recorded based on the same reason and rationale as in year 100 example above.
The question now is: can the mainstream or Scaligerian chronology be trusted? Question everything!!!

Low-level crypto scheme using Odu Ifa bits.
Let me describe, briefly, how Odu Ifa can be adapted to protect the integrity of large volume of data (I.e low-level crypto scheme). I shall use two popular Odus, Ejiogbe and Oyeku Meji, to buttress my point.
Ejiogbe is a masculine Odu; it's spatial representation is:
I I
I I
I I
I I
and it's binary code is: 11111111.
An Ilari (a learned spy) can store valuable information in Ejiogbe and protect its integrity using the binary code of Ejiogbe's perfect complement. In other words, a receiver must know Ejiogbe's perfect complement and its binary code to decrypt the message stored in Ejiogbe.
Let's assume I was the receiver. As a learned receiver, I know that Ejiogbe's perfect complement is Oyeku-Meji. Oyeku-Meji is a feminine Odu; its spatial representation is this:
I I I I
I I I I
I I I I
I I I I
and it's binary code is: 00000000. With Oyeku-Meji's binary code, I would be able to decrypt the message enclosed inside Ejiogbe. Needless to say, this is an elementary crypto-scheme. It can be fine-tuned into a more sophisticated crypto-scheme.
Once again, Ifa has evolved, but we must study its evolution.

Why is Ifa more than cultural information?
Just as prime numbers are the building blocks of all natural numbers, Ifa (base 2) is the building block of all bases of natural numbers.
In number theory, prime field is the smallest subfield containing both 0 and 1; whereby, 0 is an even count and 1 is an odd count (I.e. the two legs of Ifa). And upon combining the two legs (0,1), an infinite geometric series would emerge. So, Ifa is an infinite geometric series generator.
We call upon all young Awos, who are ethno-mathematically inclined, to move Ifa from cultural information level to species or technological information level. There is no doubt that Ifa will impact Yoruba civilization significantly if it reaches the level of technological information.

Debunking the myth of "almighty" Sumer.
According to the Scaligerian or mainstream historians, Sumer was the first ancient urban civilization in the historical region of Southern Mesopotamia. Sumerians are credited with the invention of writing; thereby, putting Mesopotamia as the cradle of civilization.
Imagine I sat down in my world civilization class for one long semester being fed this fantastic lie. I hope you now understand why I ditched school altogether and became a student of Ifa.
Anyway, the so called Proto-Sumerian writing script or Sumerian cuneiform tablets are routine accounting clay tablets that were created for the mundane purposes of keeping accounts and records. In other words, the Sumerian cuneiform is an accounting device and not a writing script; thereby, destroying the myth of Mesopotamia as the cradle of civilization - to be the cradle of civilization, you must be the first to invent writing.
Why did Western academia invent Sumer and the myth of Mesopotamia being the cradle of civilization?
1. Ideological and racist reasons - a clever attempt to move the original cradle of civilization from the Nile Valley in Africa to the Tigris and Euphrates in the invented "Middle-East."
2. An attempt to historicize Biblical civilization of Babylon in the Old Testament. Remember, the mainstream history of all ancient civilizations was created by the Scaligerites using invented Biblical chronology or timeline. Consequently, Sumer or Mesopotamia is an academic duplicate of Biblical Babylon, both invented and fictitious!
Now, if the Sumerians were not the first in history to invent writing, who were the first to do so? The people we know today in history as the Ancient Egyptians were the first to invent writing, putting Ancient Egypt as the cradle of civilization. Every writing script we have today originated from the ancient Egyptian writing scripts: the pictographic Hieroglyphs, the Phonetic I alphabet or Heratic script, and lastly the Phonetic II alphabet or demotic script. It's from the phonetic Pharaonic Egyptian alphabet that the Greek/Latin alphabets developed.
Writing is a system, and like all systems, can only be invented once. The Ancient Egyptians, not Sumerians, invented the system of writing and every other civilization just copied their invention.

Prime Numbers And Traditional Crypto Scheme
It will take 28 years for a prey that migrates every 7 years to be eaten by a predator that migrates every 4 years. However, it will only take 16 years for a prey that migrates every 8 years to be eaten by a predator that migrates every 4 years. So, by choosing odd years to migrate, the former prey extends its life expectancy by 12 years.
Interestingly, in the Old Oyo Kingdom, in the time of war, the Alaafin (I.e. the commander in chief of armed forces) and the Oyomesi (I.e. traditional senators) often chose odd days to send cryptic messages (I.e Aroko) to the Aare Onakakanofo (I.e. Generalissimo) on the battle field.
Wait for it: in pure math, it's found that most odd numbers are prime, and they're very difficult to guess in a sequence, making them excellent crypto keys. In fact, very recently, anthropologists discovered an insect in South America that uses a prime-numbered life-cycle to drive natural selection.
It's not surprising to me that some insects use a prime-numbered life-cycle to drive natural selection, for insects are connected to nature and their environment. It's very surprising, however, that, in the Old Oyo Kingdom, the Alaafin and the Oyomesi adopted same "prime-numbered crypto-scheme" to game their enemies. Could it be that the Alaafin and the Oyomesi were connected to nature and they studied their natural environment?

Arabic Legend About Ifa
The myth of Ifa being the Arabic equivalent of "Setiyu" was popularized by the Fuji exponent, Ayinde Barrister. In his signature style of mixing Quranic narratives with Yoruba philosophy, Barrister treated his listeners to the story of "Anabi Setiyu," which goes like this: "I know the name of Setiyu......the name of Setiyu is the name of Ifa."
It's plausible that Ayinde Barrister, like many Yoruba Muslims, constructed Ifa-Setiyu parallelism out of the Arabic legend that links the origin of Ifa or divinatory geomancy to their famous prophet, Idris (aka Djehuti the Egyptian; Enoch the Hebrew and Hermes Trismegistus the Greek).
There are only two verses dedicated to Idris in the Quran; they're vague at best and had nothing to do with Ifa. Although, the Quran is silent about Ifa, but somehow it found its way into the Hadith. In the Hadith, Arab pseudo-scholars, in their usual style of mixing Greek mythology and Egyptian mysteries to interpret Quranic verses, constructed a legend around Idris, linking him to Ifa.
According to this legend, Idris received the science of divinatory geomancy (I.e. Ilm al-Raml or Ifa) from Jubril in a dream, and he subsequently passed the story to a learned King of India, Tumtum al-Hindi, who documented the story in detail for Idris. Other legends abound!
Let me separate the truth from the legends and set the story straight. The Quran is essentially the Torah or the book of the upright ones. And as I've previously mentioned, the Hadith is a compendium of Arabic narratives outside of the Quran, which itself is an odd attempt by Arab pseudo-scholars to use Greek mythology and Egyptian mysteries to interpret the Torah. Consequently, the Hadith must be taken with a grain of salt.
It suffices to note that Ifa has nothing to do with Setiyu, nor does it have anything to do with Idris. Ifa is the totality of Yoruba's spiritual, moral and natural philosophies.
