The Forgotten History of the Wolof/Jolof Empire : Ancient Africa

[@MichealTheDevourer]

I’m of Senegalese ethnicity, and I’m so disappointed our history is overlooked. Most people do research on Benin, Songhai, Dahomey, Mali, and the Bantu people. Even when the majority of African history is overlooked, this is one of the super super overlooked ones.

You are right but it up to us to uplift our ancestors history and expect nothing from others. Most of historians in Senegal don't speak English. Quick correct Senegalese is a nationality and not and ethnicity. Ethnicities in Senegal : Manding, Sereer, Dioolaa, Soninke, Wolof, Bedik

The Empire is Jolof, the people and language are Wolof.

There is no mistake in The Quran but there is many mistakes in the Bible that the Quran mentions correctly such as the position in society of the leader at the time of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) peace be upon him. The Quran mentions he was a king and the Bible mentions he was a pharaoh. Yusuf was a vizier of Egypt while there also was the king that I mentioned. The Quran is correct and more recently the Rosetta Stone was decoded and what was found is that leader was a king and not a pharaoh. Islam is The true religion with undeniable proof and evidence. We Muslims believe in Jesus but not as God and we don’t believe God has a son. Jesus peace be upon him is a prophet and Messenger Of Allah (God) and he is the messiah. He wasn’t killed as Allah saved him before they could get to him. There is also scientific and historical miracles mentioned in the Quran such as the formation of the human embryo as well as the creation of honey in bees. There are Islamic prophecies that came true and will come true and I recommend everyone to try and learn about them. I myself know of people who were ill and suffering with issues (including black magic) and got cured miraculously when the Quran was recited over them. I invite everyone to learn about Islam.

What?! And yet the quran quotes the Bible. Islam is not the true religion. Its a known fact Mohommad befriended a Jew and was captivated by their practices/traditions such as praying multiple times a day, belief in one God etc..then came up with Islam..do more research. Mohammad couldn't even read! If it was the TRUE religion, they wouldn't have had to go around slaughtering people forcing them to convert. Neither would modern day Christianity. These people, the Wolof even, became Muslims out of forced conversion! SMH

We need more light shed on this empire. Zulu and Mali are getting overrated.
