Dangme kɛɛ no maasiɔ nɛ Selected Historical References on Angmu* (The Meridian Rock) Angmu (The Meridian Rock) is revered as one of the Ninety-Nine (99) Deities of Nungua and is referenced in several historical and ethnographic works. 1. Rev. Carl Christian Reindorf (1895) History of the Gold Coast and Asante "The former (Ningowas) had a custom of offering a human being annually to their Angmu, the Black Rock.... the Priest Borkete Lawe was said to pray till the sea was divided and access obtained on foot to the Rock." (p. 34) 2. Florence Engmann & F. A. W. Engmann Kane Mɔ Mi Okwɛ – Wolo ni ji Etɛ (Elementary Book 3) Chapter 21, p. 44. “Nuŋowamɛi hi wɔŋ ko ni atsɛɔ lɛ Aŋmu, ni ji tɛ diŋ ko ni amɛkɛ gbomɛi hickalɔi shaa afɔle hãa lɛ. Kɛ shɛ be ni akɛshaa afɔle nɛɛ, amɛyaa ŋshɔ lɛ naa heni Aŋmu ma lɛ, ni kɛ amɛla ni amɛjo sɛɛ lɛ, bɔni akɛɔ ji akɛ, Bɔkete Lawɛ sɔleɔ ni ŋshɔ lɛ mli gbaa, ni anyiɛɔ shikpɔŋ gbiŋ nɔ keyaa tɛ lɛ he, ni jɛi amɛyayɛɔ gbi muu fɛɛ yɛ kɛshaa amɛfɔle lɛ.” 3. Dr. Joseph Nii Abakar Mensah Tradition and Custom of the Ga People "The people of Nungua promptly acquiesced; and quickly they brought their leader, Borkete Lawe, the famous Priest of Angmu, the black rock in the sea." (p. 51) 4. Prof. M. J. Field (1937) Religion and Medicine of the Ga People "Of all the gods of Nungua, great or small, are said to be Ninety-Nine (99)... some of these gods are said to have been there when the Nungwa arrived and Borkete Lawe found out their names and gave each family one god to worship and to look after." (p. 26) 5. Prof. M. J. Field (1937) Religion and Medicine of the Ga People "Nyoŋmɔ Tsawe's rock (in La) and the Angmu rock (the Meridian Rock) near Temma are said to call to one another. Nyoŋmɔ Tsawe's rock cries like bells and Angmu groans in answer." (p. 62) These historical references demonstrate that Angmu (The Meridian Rock) has long occupied an important place in the religious traditions, oral history, and cultural heritage of the people of Nungua, with documented references spanning the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. #Kroworblogs #Nungua #typ #nuumogborbu
