who is soninke?
because it was useful
Ancient Ghana practiced the religion Soninke. The country of Koumbi had a large population of Islam people. The city was split into two parts, a Muslim part of the city and the Soninke part of the city. The Soninke part of the city, houses were made of wood or clay and they had straw roofs. The Muslim part of the city had 12 mosques and two story houses that were made of stone. The king lived on the Soninke side and lived in a stone and wood palace. EDIT: Ancient Ghana did not actually have a religion. They worshipped local gods. The Soninke were the one who created the empire of Ghana started by Dinga Cisse the most notable ruler. There was a merchant part of the city with trade and such and also El Ghaba which had the religious grove of trees for ceremonies. Hope this helps!
By doing unfair gold and salt trade to make a larger profit.
The Soninke, Sossos, and Mandingoe (Mande) peoples share a common cultural and linguistic heritage, as they are all part of the larger Mande ethnic group in West Africa. They historically engaged in trade and agricultural practices, contributing to the establishment of powerful empires, such as the Ghana and Mali Empires. Additionally, these groups shared social structures, religious beliefs, and traditions that interconnected them within the broader West African context. Their interactions fostered a rich tapestry of cultural exchange and cooperation.
The Sonike People of West Africa founded and ruled the empire. Ghana had a lot of gold and salt which was why the Soninke people chose Ghana to rule.
No. Soninke is actually a nationality--like how i am an american--not a religion. The Soninke people practice Islam as their religion. Paganism originated in Northern Europe, whereas Islam originated in the Middle East.
