The University of Sankore is located in the North East district of Timbuktu and housed within the Sankore Mosque.The Sankore Mosque was founded in 989 CE by the erudite chief judge of Timbuktu, Al-Qadi Aqib ibn Mahmud ibn Umar. He had built the inner court of the mosque parallel to the exact dimensions of the Ka'abah in Makkah. A wealthy Mandinka lady financed Sankore University making it the leading centre of education. The Sankore University prospered and became a very significant seat of learning in the Muslim world, especially under the reign of Mansa Musa (1307-1332) and the Askia Dynasty (1493-1591). syaneeza_flower https://padlet.com/syaneeza_flower/TIMBUKTU/wish/192691730 2017-09-30 17:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/syaneeza_flower/TIMBUKTU/wish/192691730 syaneeza_flower https://padlet.com/syaneeza_flower/TIMBUKTU/wish/192691994 https://afrolegends.com/2009/09/04/timbuktu-the-worlds-first-and-oldest-university/]]> 2017-09-30 17:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/syaneeza_flower/TIMBUKTU/wish/192691994 syaneeza_flower https://padlet.com/syaneeza_flower/TIMBUKTU/wish/192692327 The Sankore Mosque in Timbuktu attracted many scholars.Timbuktu is a city in Mali, in West Africa, that was founded 1,800 years ago. During Europe’s Middle Ages, it was home to a rich writing tradition that saw the creation of millions of manuscripts, hundreds of thousands of which survive to present day.'From here to Timbuktu'In the West, the city has become synonymous with mysterious isolation, the farthest one can travel. However, for centuries this was a major trading hub and a center for scholarship. The city reached its height in the 16th century when it was controlled by the Songhay Empire. “[I]t has been estimated that Timbuktu had perhaps as many as 25,000 students, amounting to a quarter of the city’s population,” write John Hunwick and Alida Jay Boye in the book "The Hidden Treasures of Timbuktu" (Thames and Hudson, 2008).An Islamic city, with three large mosques, the study of the Koran formed the bedrock of this learning tradition with its scholars composing, copying and importing works on many subjects including astronomy, mathematics, law, geography and what we would think of as history. Researchers in a BBC documentary even note the survival of a 500-year-old recipe for toothpaste.

Timbuktu is in the West African nation of Mali on the southern edge of the Sahara. The city is situated 12 miles (20 kilometers) north of the Niger River. In 2009, it had a population of about 54,000.


Historical records indicate that the city was founded at least as early as A.D. 1100 with archaeological work, carried out before extremists took over, suggesting that Timbuktu may have even earlier origins.
