اسهام الحضارات في تطور البشرية
This specific mural invites viewers to reflect on the contribution of all the different civilizations in the creation of humanity and our common histories. This is primarily displayed through a depiction of the Empire of Timbuktu (know today as Mali), whose many adventurers landed on the shores of the Americas years before Columbus.
The Mandinkas people, led by the King Abou Bakr 2, reached the Americas in the early 14th century. Numerous detailed accounts of such voyages have even been recorded in Christopher Columbus's memoires! Columbus himself acknowledged the undeniable evidence that situated the Mandinkas people in America well before 1492.
Such revealing facts have been hushed or swept aside by our cultural imaginary, which has now become a universal phenomenon due to the onset of globalization and an era of cultural and psychological colonization. The constructs of such a hegemonic historical narrative must be questioned and rectified in order to re-balance the agency of different peoples, cultures and religions; not just in order to re-read history, but also to empower those disenfranchised in our current age
