The Songhai Empire
In the vast region of West Africa, nestled along the fertile banks of the Niger River, lay one of the most powerful and illustrious empires in African history—the Songhai Empire. From the 15th to the 16th centuries, the Songhai Empire reached its zenith, encompassing a vast territory and leaving an indelible mark on the region's history, culture, and trade. The roots of the Songhai Empire can be traced back to the decline of the Mali Empire in the 14th century. As Mali's influence waned, the Songhai people, who were originally part of the Malinke ethnic group, began to rise to prominence. Led by Sunni Ali, a charismatic and ambitious ruler, the Songhai Empire embarked on a path of expansion and conquest that would shape the destiny of the region.

Ancient Origins
According to Frederic Slater, who was the President of the Australian Archaeological and Education Research Society, an Original stone arrangement he and a colleague were investigating throughout 1939, since assumed to be lost for the last 63 years, is “the Stonehenge of Australia.” As impressive as this complex of stone arrangements was, and will be again, it is much more than a collection of rocks, signs and symbols positioned on a mound. According to Slater, “the mound is one of the oldest; I should say the oldest, forms of temples in the world and dates back to the … advent of first man.” Not only was the mound the first temple, the narrative and wisdom chronicled is as profound as it is sublime, so much so that Slater claimed it formed “the basis of all knowledge, all science, all history and all forms of writing.”
