I absolutely love Mali and have been intrigued since I was a small child about these Manuscripts. Ancient Mali and their beautiful music is a world treasure. These manuscripts are important to preserve for all of humanity. Thank you so much for this beautiful series on African culture and people. Amazing , Timbuktu is on the top of my bucket list❤️

I liked this short story. Mali Empire and Songhai Empire’s speak for themselves.

Africa civilized the world

back in the days when knowledge was shared and no intellectual properties, patents or any kind of licensing 😀😋

The cinematography was fantastic. Wish I was smart enough to understand what that style was called. It was so relaxing to watch. Like you were an invisible observer on the daily comings And goings of someone.

Amazing. To be able to tell where from by style 🙂

Beautiful Mali 🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱

Precious. Please cherish the knowledge. No book is made for fire.

For years they tried to tell us Africa do not have any written language..

Beautiful, I wish we could have heard a passage or two from these manuscripts

Imagine how much knowledge are in those manuscripts, I wonder if they have anything on Mansa Musa.

Maybe the government in Mali should aid these dedicated preservers of knowledge by at least covering their material costs & have them make 2 copies of every text....1 to return to the "holding families" and a 2nd to go into a national library or archive so that it can be double-protected & maybe even reproduced into different languages to be shared with the world? Over time, Mali could slowly regain much of it's lost status as a world learning hub. It would be time consuming for sure but the end result would place Mali in a unique position on the academic "stage" per say & in the long run it may provide more stability and entice more people to travel there to study. Whichever route that they choose i wish them the best & i hope that they continue to preserve their past for future generations to come.

Agreed! A good option would also be creating digitalized copies of these texts, so they also would be available on the internet in case anything bad happened to the physical originals.

Fantastic! Great work...

Fascinating

the fathers of history, medicine, etc who are the Greekstole. All came to Africa for their knowledge. therefore, the Greeks copied the africans knowledge and made it their own. modern chemistry has so many ancient names that are no common to Europe who passed it off as their own.

Dream life and profession to me! I would love to be in Timbuktu and worship copying manuscripts ❤️! 🌞 It is pure art. I'm a woman though, so that might be a some sort of a social mentality problem. Unfortunately. Never say never, as they say! 😄

There is a separate project of digitizing the manuscripts. He is a traditional copier.

I knew a little about Timbuktu since childhood after reading Donald Duck comics.

North Mali/Azawad majority of them still spoke Arabic just like in Sudan and Chad. with Taureg and Songhay language together.
