Congaanel presented African cosmogonies as an ancient source of scientific thought on the origin of the universe. He related the Noun, which he described as a primordial ocean in Egyptian traditions, to the Wolof word "Nen," which means egg, and argued that these notions evoked a primordial matter destined to unfold. The author claimed that Georges Lemaître, who formulated the primordial atom hypothesis in 1927, did not create this conception but translated it into modern equations. According to him, biblical, Greek, and Western traditions had drawn from the knowledge of ancient Egypt. Finally, Congaanel interpreted an image of Cheikh Anta Diop in a white coat handing a seed to a young girl during an Olympic ceremony as a symbol of the transmission of African scientific heritage to the youth. #ScienceAfrica #Histoire #Cosmogonie (translated)
