The Wagadu Empire (known to Europeans and Arabs as the Ghana Empire, named after the title of the emperor) is one of the most important African civilizations of all time.
Renown archaeologist, Augustin Holl, confirmed that its stone ruins were built by indigenous Soninke people (as opposed to Arabs) and date to at least 1600 bce.
Wagadu was the western arm of a great Sahelian-Sudanese trade across the savanna belt that stretched from the Takrur kingdom of Senegal to the Aksummite Kingdom of Ethiopia-Eritrea, later to include Somali who introduced camels to the Western Sahel. In fact, the majority of gold that Kush traded with Kemet and West Asia was actually from its Sahelian trade network with Wagadu, the most gold rich civilization in world history.
The Wagadu Empire's stone ruins remain all across Mali and Mauritania, but few Black scholars are investigating it in favor of Kemet. Meanwhile, many Arab scholars are trying to convince the world that Wagadu's origins are actually from "Berber" (which they define as non-Black Saharans of Asiatic origin). One of the foundations they have to rest on is the ignorant Black muslim tradition of inventing false Arab origins for their kings in order to validate them in the muslim world. It is for this reason that Arabs cite the false lineages of Ghana's kings as Arab, a myth perpetuated by wannabe Arab Blacks in Africa.
This stupid tradition of assigning false Arab origins is not limited to Ancient Ghana, but virtually all Islamic people in Africa. The Somali are the most famous for inventing a false Arab origin, as are the Swahili. The Yoruba muslims even have blasphemously claimed their first godking, Oduduwa (who was actually from nearby Nok) was from Arabia. So ashamed are these fools to claim indigenous West Africa as their motherland. Even today, many African American muslims imagine a fictional Arab origin for themselves.
However, let's be clear that the people and kings of Wagadu did NOT consider themselves Arab, Berber, or anything but indigenous West Africans.
They were not muslim, even when in the dusk of their era they allowed some muslims to trade in their city.
The Wagadu practiced a spiritual system centered around Bida: the control of the reptilian instincts in man and the cultivation of these instincts into divine powers. This is similar to the Vodun veneration of Damballah Wedo, Yoruba veneration of Osumare, and the Kemetic veneration of Wadjet (who stood on the crown of the pharaohs). For those who need a Eurasian reference to see its value, relate it to India's Kundalini concept.
The Arabization of Wagadu history is a later invention promoted by the Songhai Empire and later West African muslim shameless fools. The same fools who turned Mali's great temples of Bida into mosques. Their pre-islamic origin is why these "mosques' look nothing like traditional Islamic mosques.
Until the African of the world values their own African culture MORE than we value the planetarily destructive culture of Neanderthal descendants such as Arabs and Europoids, we will continue to be historically impoverished, though in truth we are the First of All Men. As the Parent race of Humanity, it is our duty to protect the Earth's fauna and flora from these reckless immature flamboyant races. While Kemet was Black and great, it was just the tip of African glory. We must understand ALL of African civilization, not just Kemet.
