[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] While we are hearing more and more about Timbuktu and the records being uncovered, here is a note about some records that were revealed and translated long ago. These concern the city called Asben, a city in the Western Sahara. Asben is what we call Kel Air for the Tuaregs there today. links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0368-4016(191007)9%3A36%3C388%3ANOSAR%3E2.0.CO%3B2-L links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0368-4016(191604)15%3A59%3C261%3AWSHTRU%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Z (Another ancient city described by Europeans and others with houses similar to those I described above. Also another important trade city that rose and fell in ancient times, but is important to the history of the region. All Africans did not live in huts....) Another important city, in Mauretania, Azougi. This was the home of the Almoravids before they invaded Morocco and Spain. http://agirard.free.fr/mauritanie.htm Also note that Chinguetti is famous for its ancient rock towns, featuring houses built with stones. This style is similar to that of ancient Azougi. It is also another example of the architectural traditions in Africa that are truly ancient and indigenous. Travelogue about Mauretania and its historical sites of interest: http://www.turtletours.com/maurit1.htm Couple of journals about Kel Air (jstor: add http): links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0011-3204(198506)26%3A3%3C394%3APAEITS%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Q links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0361-7882(1988)21%3A1%3C188%3ALTDLSL%3E2.0.CO%3B2-O [/QB][/QUOTE]
