Mali 🇲🇱 Had A University in the 1200 AD that taught Astronomy, Geography, medicine, Mathematics and so on....., Home of Mansa Musa,Richest Man in the History of Mankind!!!
Timbuktu in Mali 🇲🇱 is home to one of the World's oldest University, Sankore which had libraries filled with manuscript written in Ajama (African languages such as Hausa written in scripts in form of Arabic) in the 1200AD.
University of Sankore is believed to be built by Mansa Musa the richest man in history. Subjects studied in the university included Geography, Astronomy, Medicine, Mathematics, Science and even history, despite the fact that history was never part of any teaching curriculum in the Islamic world at the time.
When Europeans, Moroccans and Asians begin visiting and Colonizing Mali in the 1300s to 1800s the Malians began hiding their Manuscripts in basement, attics and underground in fear of destruction or theft by foreigners.
In recent history many as 700,000 scripts had been rediscovered and is in modern and advanced mathematics. #africa
