The prince's saga contradicts another widely held Western belief -- that Africans sold in the slave trade were uncivilized. In fact, many were doctors, dentists, lawyers, professors, musicians and members of royal families. And a large number were Muslim." http://www.toubab.com/Contents/The_Niger_Trip/Timbuktu/tm13/tm14/w_post.html Bornu http://endingstereotypesforamerica.org/bornu.html nok civilization http://www.nok-benin.co.uk/history_nok.htm Kongo http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/africa/features/storyofafrica/10chapter2.shtml Great Zimbabwe http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/africa/features/storyofafrica/10chapter1.shtml African Astronomy, including Bushmen http://sociolingomali.wordpress.com/2006/09/23/timbuktu-astronomer-unearths-evidence-of-scientific-tradition-in-africa/ http://www.physicstoday.org/vol-59/iss-4/p30.html http://timbuktufoundation.org/manuscripts.html The Scientific Existence of African People http://husky1.stmarys.ca/~hmillar/Afrsci.htm 100 things you didn't know about Africa http://www.whenweruled.com/articles.php?lng=en&pg=37 |
