The Ancient Igbo Science Unveils To Us That Our Ancestors Pin Pointed IGBOland As The Center Of The Earth. And Aswell, In The Pangaea Map, Igboland, (A Place Once Known As Biafra) Was The Center Of The Earth, Thus Making The Location To Be Axis Mundi, As Many Igbo-Ukwu Ancient Artifacts Unveils This To Be Facts. The Axis Mundi is a symbol representing the center of the world where the heaven (sky) connects with the earth. Different cultures represent the axis mundi by varied symbols such as a natural object (a mountain, a tree, a vine, a stalk, a column of smoke or fire) or of a product of human manufacture (a staff, a tower, a ladder, a staircase, a maypole, a cross, a steeple, a rope, a totem pole, a pillar, a spire). Its proximity to heaven may carry implications that are chiefly religious (pagoda, temple mount, church) or secular (obelisk, minaret, lighthouse, rocket, skyscraper). Additionally, the axis mundi may be feminine (an umbilical providing nourishment), masculine (a phallus providing insemination into a uterus), or neither (e.g the omphalos (navel).
