Meknes, Morocco | Power, Prisoners & Paradise

[@anaselbouni2042]

The holes at the top of the prison were feeding holes. And the prison didnt use to have an entrance. They used to throw prisoners from the top. There is a book of a Portuguese ingeneer scholar that was prisoned there and wrote about it. Can t remember it s name.

[@TalesFromTheRoad]

Yes I read about that!

zelabia, zolbiya or Jalebi is a sweet present from Morocco to India and all the countries in between as it is a very simple sweet to make, no one really knows where it originated from but its been a things for a very long time, there are even arab book recipes of the 1200s where its mentioned.

Well this city was built by a lot of subsaharian slaves and some European slaves captured by Rabat pirates sad but this is the truth

[@TheSchiffReport]

Salam , Marhaba , and welcome to Morocco

Craftsmen are highly respected in Morocco and were not slaves. If slaves were involved then it must've been only thard labor, not ornamental work. What moulay Ismail did is enlist pretty much every black person in Morocco, regardless of whether they were free or slaves, entire tribes, all men taken. It's quite a tragic story.

[@Kitiwake]

Partially right. They're were lots of slaves. Virtually anyone who wasn't Muslim, with the exception of some Jews that were historically resident, and in Meknes, was a slave.

[@AdamAzzr]

@@Kitiwake the subsaharians were brought to morocco in the 16th century. Moulay ismael took every slave in every Moroccan house by force and used them as an army. Slaves were subsaharians and also spanish and portuguese but not american. Morocco is the first country to recognize the US independent, and actually protected american ships in its territory, the barbet wars were against the ottoman colonies in north africa (like algeria)

[@OSS009]

City roads shaped like that because of civil war, and assassination

I was born in Meknes thanks 🙏 for the video

[@saleemhayat7786]

I and my wife are planning to visit Morroco from late August to the end of September. Looking for a place to stay from Tangier, Rabat Fez, Marakesh. Any advice, cost to stay, food, and best way to travel within Morroco?

[@Kitiwake]

Stay in riads. Private room for two approx 25 USD per night. Book in advance on Hostelworld.

[@Kitiwake]

Moulay Ismail was a total nasty guy. The slaves weren't just POWs... They were over 1 million white slaves in Morocco over time... From not just Europe but the now US also... Captured from merchant ships which were attacked and plundered by the Sale Rovers. Eventually the joint British and American navies frightened the dynasty into abandoning the slave trade in European slaves in the 1820s

[@Kitiwake]

You need to read "White Gold" by Giles Milton. It's a free pdf download.

[@TalesFromTheRoad]

I’ll check it out

[@AdamAzzr]

@@Kitiwake Fake news. Inded Morocco had slaves, both subsaharians and europeans. But Morocco was never interested in the American ships. Who attacked the American shapes were the ottoman colonies of algeria and Tripoli. Morocco was the first country to recognize the US independent in 1777, more than that, american ships were protected in Morocco. The British ships didn't frighten anyone, it's just that there was a war of thrones in Morocco that split Morocco into 2 countries, and also, it was the end of the golden age of piracy

[@Kitiwake]

@@AdamAzzr You gave no reason as to why the white slave trade stopped in Morocco. Btw, yankee merchantmen were attacked by Moroccan pirates during the independence war and crews ending up in the slave markets of Morocco prior to the newly independent US/ Moroccan treaty in 1786. The royal naval bombardment of Algiers in 1816 for that propose finished the white slave trade in north Africa. Morocco, an independent state, ceased the practice of white christen slavery as a result of the bombardement.

[@AdamAzzr]

@@Kitiwake Nope, it didn't stop in Morocco but the main target were the spaniards and the portuguese. Morocco was not interested in american ships. Again, you are talking about the ottoman colonies of Tripoli and algiers.

You have to try other moroccan sweets, not the fried ones, but the almond stuffed treats, less sugar and richer tast like: corne de gazelle.

12:01 Santa spends his winter in Morocco to avoid the cold of the north

[@OSS009]

That is the number one prison in the world, puzzled one, and if you have found the way out, you gain freedom

[@omarboulmarouf1803]

Many people actually got lost there

Some of the walls around the city are almost 80 feet high. It's kind of depressing walking around Meknes knowing the history of the city. The underground prison didn't appear that big. Maybe he could take 1,000 people, in my view.

[@TheKing-dg1uz]

🇲🇦🇺🇸

[@Kitiwake]

Agreed. He hadn't the facts at all.
