The Gram Code of African Adam: Stone Books and Cave Libraries serves as a handbook for an African renaissance, aiming to reconstruct 450,000 years of lost civilizations. According to Catherine Obianuju Acholonu - Wikipedia, the text introduces a transcription system for the Ikom monoliths located in Cross River State, Nigeria, to argue for the existence of prehistoric indigenous writing systems in Africa. The author utilizes Igbo Ukwu symbols as a key for deciphering these inscriptions and suggests that Hebrew culture and language were actually Hamitic.

Catherine Obianuju Acholonu (1951 to 2014) was a Nigerian researcher, writer, and former lecturer on African Cultural and Gender Studies who served as the Senior Special Adviser to President Olusegun Obasanjo, as noted in Biography – Catherine Obianuju Acholonu - Hurs & Ryder. She is also known for the work They Lived Before Adam, which received the Philis Wheatley Book Award and the Flora Nwapa Award for Literary Excellence. Acholonu claimed that the contents of The Gram Code of African Adam were received as a divine revelation in a dream and completed the writing in approximately two weeks.

The work includes a foreword by former Nigerian President Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and contains bibliographical references on pages 459 to 462, as detailed in The gram code of African Adam | Open Library. Despite its ambitions, critical reception of the book has been poor, and it remains primarily known within Nigeria.
