African Kingdoms
Текст Раскадровки
- Hello, my name is Aayush Ingale and I will be talking about the Ghana, Mali, and Songhai kingdoms.
- The Empire was founded by the Soninke people, and was based in the capital city of Koumbi Saleh.
- At its peak, Ghana was chiefly bartering gold, ivory, and slaves for salt from Arabs and horses, cloth, swords, and books from North Africans and Europeans.
- Established by King Sundiata Keita, known as the “Lion King,” the Mali Empire brought wealth, culture, and Islamic faith to West Africa
- In Mali he promoted trans-Saharan trade that further increased the empire's wealth.
- Songhai became independent of Mali, and rivalled it as the leading power in West Africa. The Songhai had settled on both banks of the middle Niger River. They established a state in the 15th century, which unified a large part of the western Sudan and developed into a brilliant civilisation.
- Thanks for listening and watching. I hope you learned something about these 3 African kingdoms.
