[QUOTE]Originally posted by Red,White, and Blue + Christian: [QB] I want to bring up another issue which I could have turned into another thread. There were many Egyptians in West Africa during Medieval Times. Egypt was a major source for West African silk. I wonder if there are many texts written by Egyptians in Timbuktu ?!?!? From: http://library.thinkquest.org/13406/sh/ Saharan Trade during the Mali Empire Despite the change in political control of West Africa due to the fall of the Ghana Empire and the rise of the Islamic Mali Empire in 1235, control of the gold-salt trade remained the economic lifeline of the region. Merchants established a second major gold-salt trade route northeast across the Sahara that passed through Tunis, and Cairo, and ended in Egypt's interior. This route complimented the traditional Western Sudan--Maghreb--Europe trade route. As the second trade route grew in popularity, Egypt's influence on the Western Sudan grew as well.
