What a video, i'm Moroccan and everything you said about our history is totally true, Even tho you forgot important parts but it's okay.

[adibamaghefour]

The term berber is derogatory. The correct term is Amazigh. Great short video

[matthewmann]

Nowadays North Africans are too Arabized often denying there Native North African roots this goes for both Amazighs And Egyptians yeah

The Almoravids where more than just a Berber empire, they started in the south of the Atlas mountains, and their territory extended well into Subsaharan West Africa, They basicaly controled the Gold trade in this part of the world. their West African endevours and history is often overlooked despite it being their primary power and ultimately their fall when the Almohads cut the link between the subsaharan and Moroccan sides

Morocco was and will rise up to become an empire again.
That is our destiny, to rule over North-Western Africa

Question…I notice in this presentation you begin by saying the Morrocan empire began as nomadic berbers. Then I noticed, once you spoke about the Morrocans Arab Kingdom and it’s conquest in North Africa…you mention how the Berbers integrated the Arab language and Islamic religion into what they had practiced. Also you speak on envy between the Arabs and Native Berbers??? Anyone with any details please comment? I’m researching as well, but…shortcuts never hurt lol.

Nice work, but Almoravids rule started from the south in the Sahara and ultimatley reached from souther spain to modern day Mauritania and northern Senegal, and most of the maps were wrong, for example in the hight of some dynasties moroccan terratory ncluded Timbuktu in nowdays Mali and through all the land west of the Sahara.

[mayou]

Actually, We ara Amazigh Moroccan people not Berber. The term is not in its place.

[adilnourddine]

[briansmith]

Not a bad review but you conflate the Amazigh Empire of the Almoravids with the Moroccon Empire. Morocco was made up of 4 separate kingdoms - Fez, Marrakech, Sous & Sidjilmasa - it wasn't outsiders that called it the kingdom of Fez. The Moroccan Empire reached its greatest extent in wealth, size, and importance in the 1590s under Saadi sultan al-Mansur after large territorial gains along the Trans-Saharan caravan routes and the salt mines and salt flats in what is now Algeria followed by the conquest of the Songhai Empire which was annexed to Morocco; while some of these areas would, technically, be part of Morocco until 1901 (when France forced their annexation to Algeria) much of the southern Songhai lands escaped Saadi rule no later than 1650 (the dynasty lasted several decades after 1628 - your source is wrong - 1628 was when Zaydan died; his rule was followed by the rule of 3 or 4 of his sons until the 1650s). There were tentative plans to conquer, with England as an ally, the Americas in 1603 but Elizabeth and al-Mansur both died that year. The last Amazigh dynasty to rule in Morocco was the Dila'ite in the mid and late 17th century. Some believe, with good reason, that this dynasty has been deliberately written out of the 'official' version of Moroccan history.
