We know much of the history of Western Africa (they left no written records) because of 2 reasons- orally and visitors who came and wrote the history such as al-Masudi, Abu Ubayd al-Bakri, and Leo Africanus. This may be a problem because if the records written may have gotten lost or ruined by other natural/man disasters. Also, if we rely on oral history, it may not be accurate.
