Kumbi Saleh (Koumibi Saleh)

      Kumbi Saleh (Koumibi Saleh)

           I couldn't believe my eyes Kumi Saleh is amazing city in africa. This wasnt what i expected. Ghana has the richest gold minds on the earth. Ancient Ghana derived power, and wealth from gold. In 1913 of the 17th century. People name Berbers formed a Kingdom south of Sahara desert. Ghana is one of the most thriving democracies on the continent in Ghana. Ghana became first county to gain independence.



         As a traveler I took advise from the people that actually live in Ghana to find the quickest route to the royal town. This route was taken by traders of Maghreb in North Africa in Taherta. I visited the islamic community at Kumi saleh. Which has its  own mosques, and school. Kumbi saleh is famous for the Archoeological site in the county of Mauritania. Anopther name for Kumbi Saleh is 'Island of Peace".


     I experience plenty of things, and places. The most interesting thing was the different types of golds Ghana had , and the gradual trade Ghana Empire experience. Ghana eventually was controlled by the Sonike, a group of people living in the region .
