[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: The identification of the West African ibn Majid is depended on the translations of Bazan because I do not read Russian. Here is my copy of the Bazan article: R.A.G. Bazan, Latin America the Arabs and Islam,,Muslim World, (1967) pp.284-292. [IMG]http://olmec98.net/Bazan1.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]Above is the portion of the Rafael Bazan article which mentions Ibn Majid The first indented paragraph top of p 285 right top: [QUOTE] [i] Arab georgraphical information reached Vasco da Gama through his consultation with Ahamad b. Majid, whom he met on the West Coast of Africa. [/i] [/QUOTE]So, Bazan says da Gama got Arab information from Ibn Majid. He claims da Gama met Ibn Majid on the West Coast of Africa rather than the East Coast as claimed by the earliest primary source, though still about 50 years after Majid's death. Nowhere does Bazan say Vasco da Gama or Ibn Majid were Africans. They mererly met there. So why do you have a video up saying Ibn Majid was African when no primary source or modern source says Ibn Majid was African?? [/QB][/QUOTE]
