Abstract

: Africa inherited from ancient Egypt, scriptural resources that founded the beginnings of the civilization of humanity. Unfortunately, this heritage was gradually lost, with the conquest of Alexander the Great in 330 BC, in favor of orality. This had the effect of reterritorializing the cradle of civilization in the West and impoverishing Africa. But, today, the strong penetration of AI in Africa gives the continent the possibility of redeeming itself from its wanderings by digitizing its oral cultural heritage in order to popularize it, make it profitable and above all perpetuate it.
