Sharing... just because its available!! The real treasure of TIMBUKTU the treasure-trove of Timbuktu is actually composed of a set of ancient manuscripts. Just to get an idea, Timbuktu has about thousands of manuscripts dating from the imperial period, particularly the area west of Áfrika (West Afrikano), a period marked by the #ImpérioDoGhana, #ImpérioDoMali and #Songhaï. These manuscripts (ancient) are actually preserved for centuries, such as the secret of a United family. Are written mostly in Arabic or #Enpeul, by scientists of the ancient empire of Mali, and contains a didactic knowledge especially in the areas of astronomy, music, Botany, philosophy Theology history etc, made by native Afrikanos and not only ........ The following narrative is the illustrious #JOÃOLOBATO to a wide understanding: hidden in the far south of the Sahara we found the legendary city of Timbuktu, keeper of thousands of old scientific manuscripts that promise to change the way we look at the history of astronomy. After surviving for centuries to destruction and looting, the danger is now at the tip of the Kalashnikov machine guns, handled by religious fundamentalists. Founded almost 900 years in the North of Mali, Timbuktu became a major trading posts for caravans crossing the Sahara desert, loaded with gold, salt, ivory and slaves. However, and along the trade routes that roamed, also traveled scholars, academics and scholars, all of them provided with books, manuscripts and many ideas. The aim of the unia was to exchange among themselves the skills brought. Soon numerous libraries prosper through town, with men devoted to the intricate process of copying by hand the books that travelers bought. According to some estimates, the total number of books that the city came to accommodate was one of the largest that had hitherto existed. Timbuktu managed to gain renown, in the Islamic world, as one of the major epicenters of scientific knowledge and religious studies. So much was that, already in the 12th century, there were created three prestigious universities and about 180 Quranic schools. Only the main University, during your period of apogee, came to host about 25 thousand students, of the natives Malians as the Maghreb (Arab). Gold, knowledge and spiritualism. All this, combined with each other, gave rise, in the 15th century, a commercial, cultural and intellectual effervescence unparalleled in the region, putting Timbuktu to the level of some of the great cities of Europe or Middle East. But prosperity has finally come to an end. In 1591, an army of Moroccan troops, under the leadership of Mahmud Pasha ibn Zarqun, invaded and plundered Timbuktu, butchering her of all her riches. Just that the disaster was not around here. Libraries, where most of the books, accumulated over centuries, were reduced to ashes and only a small part of the estate was saved. Scholars and academics who resisted the attacker were slaughtered and the survivors deported to the cities of Fez and Marrakesh, to stay in the service of the Moroccan Pasha. Economically and intellectually ruined, Timbuktu came gradually in decline, to fall by the wayside. “.... So its no now that (we) the Afrikanos have suffered looting of the genus. Remember that Arabs (Assyrians etc.), Europeans (Greeks and Romans) and the colonial period also made such looting on the Afrikano people. A RAID which I define as: Cultural Plundering, philosophical, Racial, spiritual, physical and intellectual, etc. Until now still suffered pillage, which is no longer so physical, but Ideological.
