    Cultural Similarities Between Ghana Mali And Songhai Empires

    The Western African region has had many different empires come and go, but there are three that stand out the most. The Ghana, Mali, and Songhai empires are very famous in the Western African region because of the cultural significance they had. These three empires had immense control over the gold mines and trade and so therefore the territories had a surplus in gold. They had so much gold that they would trade it for something as little and common as the spice salt. The kingdoms started out as accepting of Islam but mainly kept to their indigenous religion; however, we were able to see the boom in Islam over time.…

    Malian Empire Research Paper

    The empire of Mali, in western Africa, started in about 1240. The empire is also called the Malingo Empire and Manden Kurufa. The empire was founded by the Malinke people led by Sundiata. During his reign, he developed the city of Timbuktu. The city became the center of trade and culture in the empire. After Sundiata’s death, Mansa Musa became emperor of Mali in 1307. Mansa Musa was a devout Muslim. His pilgrimage to Mecca, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, introduced Mali to the world. All the people that saw his caravan were flabbergasted. Many merchants came to the empire because of the empire’s gold surplus. The empire of Mali became rich because of the trade increase.…

I also loved knowing her favorite American song is “Lean and Dab” which is a lot of our favorite!…

    The Kalahari

    In the article “Eating Christmas in the Kalahri” by Richard Borshay Lee, he tells aboutwhat he learned living with the !Kung Bushmen for three years. Richard Borshay Lee is a socialanthropologist who missed a great life lesson while studying this hunting-and-gathering society.In this Gemeinschaft community, they worked together to teach this anthropologist somethingimportant to their people yet he was very unaware of their intentions in the beginning. Althoughhe thought he had learned a great deal about their group and culture, he was still only beginningto learn truly what it meant to be a part of their society. One may sit and observe a certain culturefor years and yet never really know for sure what they believe is important to their society andculture.In the !Kung Bushman culture it is tradition for one of its members to slaughter an ox for the entire community to share and feast upon during Christmas. They follow the feast with danceand celebrations. In order for Richard to be able to show appreciation for all of their cooperationand insight they have given him throughout the three years he spent with them to be the member to slaughter the best ox he could find. He spent a great deal of effort trying to find the best oxthat would be big enough for all to eat on. He finally found an ox that would sufficiently feed theentire community for Christmas and their festive celebrations. After seeing this ox, the Bushmen people laughed at his prize ox. One woman even asked him “Do you expect us to eat that bag of bones?” (Lee, 1969). They scolded him for buying such an “old” and “thin” ox. He was veryconfused because he thought it was enormous and would definitely feed all that would be at thecelebration. He was soon the “talk of the town.” This made Richard feel as if he had ruined their holiday traditions and his own holiday by supplying the group with little to feast upon. Richarddecided to serve the ox he had chosen regardless if it…

    1) The first evidence Wegner was able to find was the remarkable number of close affinities of geologic features on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. He found the continental margins of the subequatorial portions of Africa and South America fit together with jigsaw-on-like precision. He also determined that the petrologic records on both sides of the Atlantic show many distributions- such as ancient coal deposits-that would be continuous if the ocean did not intervene.…
