the saharan caravan trade helped link different societies by making other people participate in one program so that people can get a job, find a house and start making out with other ladies! [first one correct, but second one is stupid O.o...LOL, im srry =)
That would be when traders used camels to transport goods across the Saharan desert. A caravan is the word used to denote a group of animals and travellers.
You just got trolled trolololololol : )
In AD 900, the Ghana Empire controlled key caravan trade routes in West Africa. This kingdom thrived on the trans-Saharan trade, facilitating the exchange of gold, salt, and other goods between the Arab world and sub-Saharan Africa. The wealth generated from this trade significantly contributed to the empire's power and influence in the region.
As Adu Boahen has explained, the trans-Saharan caravan trade began to take place on a regular basis during the fourth century, as an expanded version of the pre-existing intra- and interregional trade among peoples of the forest, savanna, Sahel, and Sahara. While Ghana was an integral part of the early trans-Saharan trade, neither it nor any other Western Sudan state was built by, or specifically. It led to exchange of goods and services and also ideas.
Trans-Saharan trade routes were primarily land based, the Silk road was both land and sea.
Arab and Berber Muslims from the Northern coast of Africa came to trade with West African Tribes and Empires like Ghana.
The Saharan trade began around the 3rd century CE, although it expanded significantly by the 7th century with the rise of Islamic empires. This trade network facilitated the exchange of goods such as gold, salt, and textiles across the Sahara Desert, connecting North Africa with sub-Saharan regions. The establishment of trade routes helped in the spread of culture, religion, and technology between diverse societies.
The northern Saharan trade group is known as the Trans-Saharan Trade Network. This network facilitated commerce across the Sahara Desert, connecting sub-Saharan Africa with North Africa and the Mediterranean. It primarily involved the trade of gold, salt, and other goods, playing a significant role in the economic and cultural exchanges between different regions.

Both the Trans-Saharan and Trans-Atlantic trade routes were pivotal in facilitating the exchange of goods, cultures, and ideas between different regions. They involved the movement of valuable commodities, such as gold, salt, and enslaved people, which significantly impacted the economies and societies involved. Additionally, both trades contributed to the spread of religion, particularly Islam in the case of the Trans-Saharan trade, while the Trans-Atlantic trade played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity. Despite their differences in geography and specific goods traded, both routes were instrumental in shaping historical interactions across continents.
