Henri Morlighem penetrated into the heart of African oral traditions, in particular those of the Baluba of Kasai, and shed light on their explanation of the formation of the universe, in other words, their cosmogony. With the collaboration of Tiarko Fourche, he recorded this thought with thoroughness and probity in this book which he entitled “A black bible” and which African thinkers consider to be a reference work. Indeed, the story presented is a fundamental myth, which reveals to the men of Central Africa a code of life, with equivalents throughout Africa, confirming, if need be, its cultural and philosophical unity. This Black Bible is for them as fundamental as the Bible for the Jews and, the Christians or the Koran for the Muslims, the Vedas for the Hindus or the Popol Vuh for the Amerindians, the Buddhist Canon, the Taoist Canon or the Confucian Classics.
