Nuketown Anagram / Das Schutzgebiet Togo (new info & theory)

hola codz

it may seem far fetched, but - aren't we allowed to delve deeper, even if only to pass the time until we know the truth? thank you in advance for taking the time to read through the information i'm about to present.

There is only one possible anagram for nuketown - "Ntounkwe", a village located in the Togolese Republic or Togo (a country in Western Africa). Togo was also known as "Togoland" (or "Schutzgebiet Togo") from 1884 to 1914 when it was under German protectorate / occupancy.

From the 16th to 18th century Togo was known for it's rich agriculture, bountiful seasons, and it's abundance of slaves (so much it's region was nicknamed "The Slave Coast")

In 1884, Gustav Nachtigal (German explorer, medical doctor, imperial consul and commissioner for West Africa) singed a treaty with the local chief, Mlapa III, in which he declared a German Empire protectorate over a stretch of territory along the Slave Coast. It would be known as the Togoland Protectorate, or Schutzgebiet Togo.

Germany gradually extended its control inland. Colonial administrators and settlers brought scientific cultivation to the country's main export crops. Because it was one of Germany's two self-supporting African colonies, Togoland was acknowledged as a small but treasured possession. This would last until the eruption of World War I.

On August 7th, 1914, French & British troops invaded Togoland. The troops occupied the capital, Lome - and then were sent to destroy a "powerful and new radio station" located in South West Togoland. The troops arrived on August 26th, only to find the colony had destroyed this "powerful and new radio station" in the days prior upon hearing of the occupancy.

France & England divided Togoland, and it would not come under it's own rule until the 1960's when it became the Togolese Republic.

so...

not much info on Ntounkwe, but very interesting stuff about Togoland - or Schutzgebiet Togo. I wonder what kind of scientific technology was brought in terms of transmitting & agriculture, and why were they so keen on destroying it before the troops found it? Matter of fact, why were the forces sent from the capital of Togoland to a remote South Western village famed for it's radio station? I'm sure there were radio stations in the capital, Lome - so why the big fuss? Safe to say, it was worth destroying over loosing technology to the enemy.

I'm making some assumptions here, I am aware of the possibility that this remote village could have housed the only transmitter in Togoland - and I'm aware that the colony would have destroyed it solely to not aide the invaders. But I'm also aware that Africa being the "cradle of man", Germany's "Togoland" protectorate, Gustav Nachtigal, and the "scientific/powerful" technology brought to Togoland all could be used to create some sort of zombies theory (as well as a diatribe).

The right-off-the-toppa-my-head theory:

A meteor of 115 could have crashed into the region known as Togo - this created an abundance of agriculture, and also turned the people stronger/kept them always healthy (I believe I remember reading on a thread here that unradiated 115 isn't cancerous, but indeed may improve an individual - I might be wrong). In a time of slavery, these Togo beings were prided on their abilities and Togo became an epicenter of slave capture, thus the region was nicknamed "The Slave Coast".

Germany got wind of the "super slaves" and went about sending Gustav Nachtigal to propose a occupancy (disguised as a protectorate). Once agreed, the Germans brought advanced agricultural technology to search through the ground to find what had made the Togolese so fertile. Once they discovered the 115, they started experimenting with it. Upon countless experiments, they were able to harness a powerful technology that was used for communications transmitting. With this new found ability, they were able to communicate/transmit through different time, space & dimensions using a remote outpost in SouthWestern Togoland.

Their operations remained "under the radar" from 1884 - 1913, when a powerful radio signature was accidently picked up by England or France. It was clearly futuristic in it's power, and warranted investigation. They discovered the German's experiments, and quest to unlock the 115 - so they sent in troops to take over Togoland and harness the technology for themselves. After hearing of the invaders capturing Lome (the capital), the German scientists & technicians were forced to destroy the powerful transmitting station and all the 115 - only to hope that another meteor would eventually fall into their hands.

thank you good sir!

This is a very interesting idea.

This is something I can definitely see Treyarch bending some of the truth on and implementing as a possibility, great job!

With treyarch being treyarch i would doubt if they do something like this. I think it would be totally funny if it was a jungle in africa instead of what everyone was thinking, a town in nevada. That would be a pretty good fast one on us and thats what treyarch does to us zombie fans :lol:

Thanks a lot Tac! I have since changed my UN from "kingsly" to "l GRILL l" and almost forgot about this thread I made. It's awesome to see old threads surface.
