I think we need the origin of "Moors", as in where did they come from. Why were they more advanced?

[WaveGang]

But not today's Morocco with all the mixing that has happened there. The old black Morocco.

The old Morocco when people who look like Mohamed Timoumi lived there, not Mustapha Hadji.

Lol @ Hadji

98 world cup he was on one

 

[MoroccanBoy]

No. Mohamed Timoumi was an African footballer and he played for Morocco.

I saw his name on the list of greatest African footballers released by FIFA.

 

[dennis roadman]

Moor as a pronoun

And then the thread gets even dumber from there, amazing

There is a lot of well sourced and researched information on the long and famous history of the moors, but if you want a thread of misinformation and speculation, please enjoy this one

They playing Core d’Ivore next weekend, they just need a draw to qualify. Fukk that tho, I’m down wit CIV as usual.

 

[SagaAsad]

Ivan Van Sertima - The golden age of the moors is a good book to start with but it has historical inaccuracies
Chouki el Hamel - Black Morocco A history of slavery race and Islam gives a much better frame-work of who were the historical Moors

 

[Bawon Samedi]

@MoroccanBoy is more Moorish than any of you guys. Yeah go ahead and neg me, call me a c00n, blah..blah... blah... Its the hard truth,

Stop with this silly ass Moorish Empire in the Americas(not addressing you OP). Anyways the term Moor comes from the Greek/Roman word "Maure."

 

[Bawon Samedi]

They were from West Africa, Mauritania.

They were mainly from Morocco...

 

[AndroidHero]

Moors aren't originally West African, but some of them were from there, don't know why some are saying this in this thread.

What wasn't I saying?

Yeah there were some West Africans(from those Western Sudanese empires) that aided the Moors but all in all they were Berbers from Morocco/Mauritania. The thing I dislike is that(while I agree todays Northwest Africans are highly admixed due to European migrations after the expulsion of Muslims from Europe) people on the Coli go on and on how modern Berbers are mixed and Arabs and yet try to claim their cultures. Without realizing that modern Berbers still carry indigenous African lineages.

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

The history of the Moors has been twisted and hidden. Modern history starts almost to the day with the fall of the Moors yet most people probably don't even know they exist.

Many of the things we have today like high fashion, modern medicine and even the hooded cloaks of the KKK started with the Moors.

It is my opinion that almost the entirety of Western culture originated from the Moors even their so called empires.

Yup even the "holy book' of the Klan is call the KLORAN

And they have "ciphers"

Make sense considering Gen. Albert Pike whom wrote the Klan ritual built with PB Randolph who was initiated into the Rosicrucian society which has its base in Fez Morroco

It's true....I use to think it was bullshyt till I became a "traveler" and met brothers who became initiated into the Marabut Rite....



America aka New Morroco

 

[SirReginald]

I thought that they were hybrids?

 

[Bonk]

They were mainly from Morocco...

No. The Kingdom was mostly in Mauritania with parts of it extending into Morocco in the North and Senegal in the South. I'm sure you know they defeated the ancient Ghana empire and some of them were Wolofs, right? That was before they went to Europe.

Let's not forget Arabs too were involved in this too, after all it was under the Arab Umayyad caliphate that conquered and ruled over Spain for some time.

I'll never forget speaking on "ancient knowledge and its origin" and u jumped into the conversation saying this:

Yeah but what good is all that Mystical knowledge??

if it can't translate into something TANGIBLE for yourself such as FOOD..CLOTHING..SHELTER

For not only yourself but your Community

I'm suprised you didnt jump in this same conversation talking about "what good is knowing the origin of where the Moors knowledge came from if it doesnt translate into something tangible for yourself such as food clothing and shelter?"

 

[Marlostanfield.]

Y'all study the wrong history, study Moorish science not the history.
