The Ebo Aga Empire was a great empire that existed between 1500 AD and 1710 AD, when it eventually fragmented into five kingdoms.
The Ebo Aga Empire is the first and only known empire founded by Ebo Nganagam people, and it is known that the Ebo Aga Empire encouraged ethnic Ebo Nganagam people to immigrate to all places controlled by the empire, and the Ebo Aga Empire also encouraged its people to have as many children as possible. The immigration and birth policy of the Ebo Aga Empire is generally thought to be the main reason why the Ebo Nganagam people are so numerous in the area of the Confederation of Ebo Nganagam.
The Resistance of Writing
The Ebo Nganagam people had a long tradition to resist any attempts to write their language, and the Ebo Aga Empire is not an exception, actually, it seems that the Ebo Aga Empire systemically rejected all attempts to write their language, and there are no written documents of the Ebo Aga Empire ever written in any dialects of the Ebo Nganagam language, even the Ebo Nganagam people who built the Ebo Aga Empire had actually been interacted with peoples who had a long literal tradition for a long time, this phenomenon, and the resistance of writing among the Ebo Nganagam people in general, has become a big mystery among anthropologists and historians.
Historians think the lack of writing system signifies that the Ebo Aga Empire lacks an effective mean to control over the whole country, and they also think that the lack of an effective mean to control over the country is a main reason the empire eventually fragmented into five countries.
According to research of some historians, the main reason behind such a mystery is that both of the nobilities and the commoners think the ability to write can be unbeneficial to them. Nobilities think writing can make laws hard to repeal or change, which can be unbeneficial to them; commoners think writing can make nobilities and the king strengthen their control over all kinds of resources, which can make them even harder to barely make a living.
