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

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.

This is the Almoravid dynasty.

The Almohad dynasty.

They were mostly in Morocco. Most of their capital/major cities were in Morocco. "Mauritania" back in the day originally referred to the modern day Morocco. Yeah, they did extend to Senegal but they were mostly made up of Saharan Berbers like the Sanhaja, Masmuda and Tuaregs. There were some Muslim West Africans(from Ghana and other empires) that aided them but the majority were dark skinned Saharan Berbers.


Lastly, the Almoravids never beat the Ghana Empire. Thats a myth Eurocentric cacs made up as there is no proof of it. And they weren't Wolof(Ghana) but Sonnike.

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.

Arabs weren't involved in the first invasion. It was led by dark skinned Berbers and some West Africans. Moors had complete autonomy in Northwest Africa. The Arabs basically let them rule over it.n Which is why it was called "Moorish Spain" because there were more Moors than Arabs. But then the Almoravid/Almohad dynasties were completely Moorish dynasties.

To add to the thread. From my own personal knowledge the moors were Africans that fell under the Arab umbrella/ruling. I'm not sure if they acted independently.

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






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?"

:jbhmm:

And yes I stand by that..

Because I was able to translate those experiences into becoming a homeowner..and business man as well..
:troll:

My problem with today's hoteps..is that they just use this knowledge to DEBATE or get VIEWS and DAPs on message boards and YouTube...

Forget that :camby:

Like to paraphrase RZA ...

"he knew astronomy and the laws of Deuteronomy but couldn't master the basic laws of our ECONOMY"

He's ignorant still, Any ancient knowledge preaches giving up the world not using this knowledge for one's better gain

I know Ghana empire was a Mande empire. I just alluded to the fact that some of the moors were Wolofs to show the deeper connection with West Africa. Most Tuaregs are also from West Africa.

Also, Almohads was founded after Moors were already in Europe and were trying to defend Al-Andalus from the onslaught of the Christian crusaders. And it's understandable since it created support directly for what they were doing in Europe (read about the Battle of Sagrajas). Prior to that and their European adventure, they lived mostly in West Africa and fought the Arabs for a long time.

If she does that's good for her. I think a lot of people studies the information but its another to live the wisdom, that's what separates people.

You seen the B.o.B thread he had posted a moorish lecture on istagram and then he had tagged Aseer The Duke Of Tiers. Him and Yuseef are like the main ones people get their information from about Moorish Science. And Taj Tarik Bey.

Yeah, I understood what you meant homie, but that's just knowledge its another to have wisdom to really know what all that means because you experienced it yourself.

A lot of people get the knowledge and it stops there, you're suppose to live the knowledge
