[QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [QB] How far south did Carthaginian trade and culture spread. From one of Diop's book he put forth the possibility that atleast one of the ethnic groups is connected to the Carthiginains..according to Civilization or Barbarism...Finally let us interpret a Senegalese oral tradition to which no attention has been said, and which,in our opinion ,would militate for a Carthaginian presence in antiquity on the Senegalese shores:This would be a strong comfirmation of Hanno's expidition. It is said that Barka was Ndiadjan Ndiaye's brother and his mother, Farimata Sall,Lam Toro's daughter, was of the peul race of the Belianke.It is from his name, Barka, that came the word "Barka",or "Barak," designating the king of Walo, a region of the Senegal river's estuary,which the Carthigianians sailed(according to the very controversial interpretation of some Roman historical documents)to Bambuk,near Kaarta.There is in this story a constellation of Carthaginian names that may not be of chance; but only well conducted excavations all along the Senegalese river up to Kaarta country could one day confirm this hypothesis, with the discovery of charactically Punic objects. In fact,Barka is not of Arabic origin; it is Carthiginian and it designates the royalty there where the Carthaginians landed,if they ever came to Senegal.Belianki is a compound term which, in Peul or even the Soninke languages, brakes down as follows: Bel+Nke=the men of Bel or Bal(Punic God).And we know that Bal is still today a proper name of the Tukulors, the ethnic group that lives in the river region above. Kaarta is pratically the exact term the Romans called Carthago, or Carthage. according the controversial text Hanno's long and complacted journey,the Carthiginians supposedly left a colony(sixty persons or thirty couples)on cern Island,which is a strip of land near the Senegal River's estuary.The term Belianke,formed in the same manner as Soninke,Malinke,Foutanke,etc;nesseraily precedes Islam and goes back to the sixth century B.C during the time when the cult of Baal was still in place.
