[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Markellion, quoting these ancient books without putting them into context is meaningless. Obviously Kanem Bornou and the Zaghawa were not West Africans and had nothing to do with the development of civilization in West or Central Africa. What you are posting is does not support your argument and you are simply focusing on the same handful of passages from ONE BOOK and spamming almost all threads with the same LITTLE BIT of information and trying to make it seem like it is somehow more than it is: a small piece of a larger puzzle and not the whole picture. Research does not constitute quoting a few passages out of one book. You have to cross reference and go to the source where possible and look at the larger context and find supporting quotes and passages from other works. The fact is that the oldest cultures and civilization of West Africa are Ancient Ghana, the Nok, the Dar Tichitt among others. They have nothing to do with the culture of Kanem Bornou which arose in the 9th century. The quote you keep referring to is likely claiming that Kanem Bornou was the first Islamic or Arabic civilization in that region west of modern Sudan. It certainly does not amount to any serious history of West Africa. [/QB][/QUOTE]
