2- The linguistic similarities are quite striking, and it makes sense Hausa been an afro Asiatic language if it originated from Egypt.
For instance, there are so many noticed similarities between Egyptian and hausa words; almost the same wording and meaning.
3- Werner Vicychl, 1938 made this r/ship certain by making 200 to 300 comparisons with ancient Egyptian.

Carleton T. Hodge, 1966, Indiana University wrote on this too.

Also, Greenberg, Lillias Homburger, Moustapha Gadalla, Skinner, and Mrs Lugard talked about this relation.
4- The term ” SERECK” which preceded pharaoh’s names is a mis intrepretation of ” SARAKI”, the legendary Serpent in Hausa History and Title of Hausa King till nowadays.

Sereck is somtimes said to be the book of kings, plural for king is “SARAKAI” in Hausa."
5- "What is surprising is that hausas defines words exactly as do ancient egyptian:

The example of Qasr-El – Fara-frah called “white Desert” today in Egypt means literally the same thing in Hausa” Earth white-white”.
6- Tutankhamon(Live image of Amon) in ancient egyptian ,has the same definition in Hausa:
‘Your Representation Amon’

Tuta means ‘flag’ and ” Ka” means ‘yours’ :

‘Tutan ka’ signify in hausa ‘your representation/ your image/ your symbol of power’.
7- The word for Kingship in Hausa; Sarauta, derived from the bite of the serpent ‘SARA’ and the term of Kingship = Qui coupe
the court, like a serpent bite, maybe why ancient Egyptian kings had Crowns with a serpent head.
8- Now, another point to note is that worship of the sun was prominent in early Hausa civilizations and we know what the sun god "RA" meant to the Egyptians.

"Hausa is I think the only language in the world in which ” RA” means the Sun (RA-na). ‘Rana’ literally means ‘My RA’"
9- ‘Baka’ as named some pharaohs is “the controler of the territory” and in ancient Hausa time people do say ‘Kasar Baka’ : territory of Baka”. Baka can signify Arc like in the pharaoh name “ShaBaka”(endowed with arcs).
10- ‘Gada’ means “bridge” , so Nagada means ‘The ones near the bridge’, it can be a town, persons or something. Narmer in his time had constructed a bridge.
11- NOTE: Recently, ancient pyramids have been discovered in Niger Republic, also a Hausa state.
12- "The stances and single wrapped fist of Hausa boxers bear visual resemblance to illustrations of Ancient Egyptian and Hellenistic boxers. This has caused speculation that Hausa boxing is directly related to Ancient Egyptian boxing.
13- The theory that Hausas migrated from Egypt makes more sense than the botched theory of some Iraqi prince, though even this is still up for debate.
