Ibn Battuta was a 14th-century African anthropologist and world traveler from Tangier, Morocco. According to multiple sources, he was the greatest explorer of all time. Initially what was a pilgrimage to Mecca, turned into a 30-year trip covering more than 40 modern-day countries by himself, a distance three times that explored by Marco Polo. Today we can read translations of his adventures that were recorded in "A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Traveling."

When you enter this page, you will have access to multiple books, articles, and lectures that go in-depth on this topic. It is important that we actively seek out historical truths that give us a better understanding of our past, rather than being fed the perpetual eurocentric narrative. As Marcus Garvy said, a people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
