by Musa Shallal, Department of Sociology, United Arab Emirates University, Box 17771 Al Ain, UAE
Abstract
This article examines the myths and the truth of the ancient African
civilization. It also sheds some sociological light on the second great
Sahelian kingdom of Mali as an example of the ancient West African
kingdoms. It demonstrates the level of civilization, wealth, and power
this empire had during the Middle Ages. Also, the ambitiousness of its
kings through the discovery of trade routes via the high seas, its level
of importance as a cultural, learning and trade centre, the influence of
its cities and the development of its urban centres, and its socioeco-
nomic relationships with other African and non-African peoples. It
concludes with a discussion of the influence of the Arabic-Islamic cul-
ture on the Mali Empire and illustrates its points with the advanced
culture, and the use of the Dogo people and their exploration of outer space
