Did you know the Black Panther movie franchise took inspiration from the ancient southeastern Nigerian writing script, Nsibidi?
This unique writing system, used by the Ekpe secret society, is known for its intricate symbols and meanings. In the Black Panther films, these symbols can be seen intricately placed on the set design. It’s a nod to Africa’s rich history and culture and adds an extra layer of depth and authenticity to the already groundbreaking franchise.
So next time you watch the movie, keep an eye out for the Nsibidi symbols!
