Hamu - Ewe
Hamu is one of the oldest names of Ewe people. The great Ewe people is formed by Fon, Adja, Anlo, Guin, Kotafon, Mayi, Mina and Ewe.
History
From the beginning, the Ewe people were identified in South America and Australia after living in Africa, the origin of human beings, to travel to the world. Their civilization was mixed with worship and culture. They worship the great God by deity names in Ewe: Agbo, Dah, Shina and Yewe. In South America, from the path and the Ewe civilization, Maya people built the Maya civilization. Hamu people always lived near the waters, which they always called mu, whatever the river, even from Nubia to West Africa. After the historic flood from mu (as a legend and story of the child who grew in his mother's womb full of water and after nine months he is born on this earth) they moved and they divided into different clans. Others went to Asia via migration, more precisely to China, where they established the worship of Shina in this land which knew black people. Others went to Babylon to build buildings over time called Babel by the Greeks.
Language
Ewe language has to face the physical they called Ahe gbe and the spiritual they called Yewe gbe. It is symbolized by signs linked to divinatory geomancy called Fa. The original Ewe language is based on sumobolo, called symbols by the Greeks.
