Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

Mr. Namor, an expert on black West African history, stared blankly at Martin's shoulder.

That furry little guy is naughtily trying to get into Martin's neck.

"Martin, is this, is this a lion?"

"That's right, a little lion."

Martin smiled and pulled the little guy off his shoulders and rubbed the little guy's furry head."Its mother is dead. I plan to raise it and release it to nature."

I don't know if it's due to the stimulation of magic power, but this little guy grows very fast. In just a few days, it went from being naked and unable to open its eyes to being so furry and lively.

It's now the girl's. Darling, everyone wants to hug, kiss and rub him.

Unfortunately, this little guy only likes to cling to Martin, which makes the girls feel a little jealous.

"You are such a good person.

Namor became serious and asked again:"Then why did you find me?""

After Martin thought for a while, he described the shape of the building he saw in the mind of"Dark Night Lion" to this person.

"I want to know, what kind of building is this? In other words, this is a building from which period and country in West Africa? Namor thought for a while, asked a few more details, and then said:

"Mr. Martin, you should be talking about the architectural form of Timbuktu, the treasure of our West African civilization."797" The history of Timbuktu can be traced back to the 5th century AD when it was founded by the Tuaregs. The Timbuktu region is an important node on the Saharan trade route. Famous for its rich history, unique architecture and charming culture"

"Connecting North Africa, the Middle East and West Africa, it was once a powerful civilization and became a center of trade and cultural exchange due to its unique geographical location."

"In the 9th century, Timbuktu began to emerge as an important center of Islamic culture, and the spread of Islam also made Timbuktu gradually become an important religious and cultural center in West Africa."

"Along with the development of religion, Timbuktu at that time attracted students and scholars from all over Africa, as well as intellectuals from North Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean."

"This civilization has also become stronger because of the arrival of these people. The North African Arab civilization, Berber civilization and black African civilization meet here. Many Muslim scholars and saints settled here, and many famous books were written and circulated from here"

"At the end of the 14th century, the famous Kolanik Sankore University was also located here. This university is one of the earliest universities built in history (cifc). A total of 20,000 students study different subjects such as the Quran, medicine, law, history, literature, astronomy and geography."

Speaking of this, Namor showed a look of longing,"I really want to go to Timbuktu at that time to see the prosperous economy, trade and culture at that time.……"

Then he talked again

"Unfortunately, no civilization can last forever, and Timbuktu is no exception."

"As time goes by, Timbuktu gradually experiences decline. The golden age gradually passes, the city gradually loses its former glory, and the afterglow of civilization gradually disappears in the sunset on the Niger River."

"An important factor is the change of trade routes. With the rise of Europa sailing expeditions, new maritime trade routes gradually formed, bypassing West Africa."

"This caused Timbuktu to lose its status as a trading center, and the economy was severely hit. At the same time, the value of Timbuktu's important resources such as gold, silver, and salt also declined relatively, further affecting the city's economy."

"At the same time, Timbuktu has also been affected by political and social unrest. In history, Timbuktu has been invaded and plundered by foreign forces many times."

"These wars and conflicts destroyed the city's infrastructure and economic structure, causing social instability and political disputes within the city, leading to further decline of the city."

"So, this city and this civilization have now disappeared in the flames of war? asked Martin

"No, no, no, how could it be?"Namo said in surprise,"Timbuktu is still there, in the current Republic of Mali. It is the capital of the Timbuktu region in the northern part of the Republic of Mali."

"Walter?"Martin was even more surprised than him. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

How is it possible?

What he saw from the memory of the King of Dark Night was clearly a ruin, with no trace of human existence at all.

Namor said :"Yes, it still exists. Although civilization and prosperity are no longer there, Timbuktu is still there. In the 1990s, the local Tuareg people also rioted and wanted to establish their own city-state. It was not quelled by the Republic of Mali until 1996."

"However, recently this place seems to have attracted the attention of international scholars. Many archaeologists and historians have come to this city to find the remains of former civilizations."

"Relics of civilization? Martin's eyes flashed,"What does that mean?""

"In the past, Timbuktu gathered scholars from all over the world and established the world's earliest university. Various civilizations met and collided here, forming splendid academic and cultural schools. At that time, these schools all put their own Knowledge is recorded on specially treated parchment and stored in the library of Kolanik Sankore University"

"But the strange thing is that the war that broke out between the Songhay Empire and the Mali Empire in 1591 destroyed Kolanik Sankore University in the war. However, according to historical records at the time, the books recording knowledge did not follow the war. The university was destroyed because the burnt remains of parchments were not found in the library"

"Some people speculate that these books may have been transported or hidden by some scholars in advance, and those experts want to find this part of the lost civilization. Unfortunately, no one has succeeded so far. Martin hesitated and asked:"Mr. Namor, besides Timbuktu, are there other places with similar buildings?" Namor shook his head, with a thoughtful look on his black wrinkled face, and said slowly:

"Timbuktu's architecture is a unique blend of elements from Islamic, Saharan and native African traditions. If you want to ask whether there are buildings similar to it, there must be, but they are often just similar to a certain style, rather than bringing them together like Timbuktu."

At this point, Namor paused suddenly, as if he remembered something. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"However, there is a local legend that has been circulating for hundreds of years.

Martin suddenly became interested and asked:"Oh, what kind of legend is it?""

"According to local legend, in the fourteenth century AD, some scholars chose to migrate because they could not bear the increasing noise and frequent wars in Timbuktu."

"When they left, they also took a group of Timbuktu craftsmen with them. It is said that they found a hidden oasis and wanted to build a new city there."

At this point, Namor's eyes gradually brightened up.
