Both Cameroon and Dja announce their ancient neighbourly relation at this heritage site which is certain to baffle the biblical scholars to a great extent. Unesco’s findings on this site reads, ‘The Reserve has a population of Baka pygmies who live in a relatively traditional manner and confer a recognized cultural value to the site. Agriculture and commercial hunting are prohibited, but the Pygmies are allowed to hunt traditionally’. The term ‘pygmy’ is seen in the Homeric epics as well as in the Bible. Indian puranas knew them as Balakhilya yogis who were of one-finger-height people of the ancient world living on the bank of a river in this name. This Balakhilya River(Dja River) was a branch river of the Euphrates. There is no difference between the ‘pygmy’ and the Balakhilyas of Indian puranas and the Baal of the Bible. What is interesting there is the  the ‘Dja’ which is as same as the ‘Dvija’ of Indian puranic literature which means the ‘spiritual seekers or the wandering monks who live on begging’. The Pygmies as Dvijas is a wonderful fact of history that has been preserved at this world heritage site only.

It is really surprising to see how these pygmies crossed the oceans and became migrants to a distant destination like Cameroon. Homer in his epic the Iliad has written that the pygmies died during the war at Troy. Cameroon is exactly the same as Qumran of the Bible and it was situated next to the land of the Baal deities.
