[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: ^^^ The idea (now in a new thread of AlTakruri's) is that the Almoravid aka Al Murabitin did not invade Ghana > is an alternative theory. Most scholars do not believe that The above article I posted if form Molefi Asante's History of Africa. Your link, like your other link is to only page 1 intoduction of an article on JUSTOR [/QUOTE]Asante is not "most scholars." His bibliography pertaining to Wagadu and al~Murabitun is sparse and outdated. Invasion is not conquest. There was no al~Murabitun conquest of Wagadu and no such thing is written in any contemporaneous Arabic documents. It's as late as 300 - 400 years after al~Murabitun before such an idea appears anywhere in the literature. Whether there was an invasion is even questionable. In fact Wagadu invited help from al~Murabitun to quash insubordinate kingdoms seeking autonomy from Wagadu's empire. This and more can be gleaned from perusal of sources listed in the [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008406]al~Murabitun thread (link).[/URL] The respect I recently accorded you is turning out to be unwarranted and about to be retracted as you prove yourself a liar by your statement [i]"the Almoravid aka Al Murabitin did not invade Ghana > is an alternative theory. Most scholars do not believe that"[/i] Anymore to be said should post to the al~Murabitun thread please. [/QB][/QUOTE]
