WHEN the black Moors settled in Europe, they brought with them culture, raw materials, and technology which had never before been known in Europe.
To begin with, most goods used in Europe had been known to come from the east (Africa & Asia).
The Moors brought precious wood and metals from Africa by way of camel and horse caravans by land and ships by sea.
There was the Great Silk Road from China which reached Egypt via India and Arabia.
The Phoenician routes circled the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and allowed for trade among the nations of southern Europe, Central Asia and North Africa.
The Moors would use the wood for construction, ship building and carpentry. From China, the Moors brought the hemp paper making technique and they began planting hemp fields in the area of Morocco.
They also brought silk and other oriental goods to Europe.
The Moors built numerous castles and mosques in Southern Europe.
The architecture of the Moors was sophisticated the most brilliant and many structures built by the Moors still stand in Spanish states such as Granada.
The Moors introduced musical instruments from Africa, Arabia and Asia and these included the drum and a number of stringed instruments.
The Moors used harps and horns which would later become pianos and trumpets. Therefore, this means that a good number of musical instruments used in Europe today, have their origin in Africa.
The Moors were associated with what is today known as classical music in Europe. The popularity of this type of music declined when the Moors exited Europe. Beethoven who would later dazzle Europe with classical music was a descendant of the Moors.
He was known as Thoven Bet the Moor and his mother was a full blooded Moorish (black) woman.
He is also remembered for his wooly hair (black hair).
The Moors built libraries which accommodated millions of books.
They possessed books from Asia, Africa and also Greece and Rome.
After the whiteman had robbed the blacks of their knowledge, they merely sat on that knowledge and world development literally ceased.
The great works of art, science, mathematics and astronomy that had been plundered in Egypt had now been repossessed by the blacks through study.
The translators would then work in teams and create Arabic copies of the books. From China, the Moors had also acquired the printing press technique and before long they could mass produce books on the tough but soft hemp paper.
The Moors brought street lights to Europe and all their cities were illuminated as day by night.
At this time, the northern states of Europe were in complete darkness and living in barns. Diseases such as chicken pox developed in humans through this close relationship between animals and Europeans.
The houses of the Moors were large and durable.
There was running water in the houses of the Moors and the gardens were irrigated. To this day, some of the fountains that were built by the Moors are still running.
The Moors introduced glass, carpets and tiles to Europe from Arabia.
The lands of Europe were seen as the end of the earth, where it was cold and dark. For this reason the Moors really consolidated all their technology and resources in order to survive there.
In most parts of Africa, the rains were efficient enough to make irrigation unnecessary, but in Europe, the opposite was true.
The Barbarians never used to bathe and this was one of the reasons the Romans and Greeks abhorred them.
The common task of bathing was not so common to the Barbarians until the black Moors arrived.
Till then, the Barbarians had associated bathing with lavishness and would mock the Greeks on account of it.
The whites would recite poems on the blackness and smoothness of skin of the Moors.
Until the appearance of the smooth skinned black man in Europe and the introduction of the razor blade the white man did not have the means nor the ambition to smoothen up their skin.
If the white people staying in the cold regions stopped shaving and applying hair removers today, the Barbarian would return in his proper form.
The Moors performed cataract removal operations which healed the blind.
The male Moors also practised circumcision and this is what inspired the growth of the surgical industry.
The Moors also used music as a form of healing and there were special stringed instruments that were played in certain ways to heal physical ailments.
They discovered that the human body, when exposed to certain frequencies and vibrations of light and sound, can generate and absorb energy.
The Moors had schools for the poor and academies for the rich.
Many of them were widely travelled and educated.
Their approach to learning was empowering as it made the students self-sufficient researchers and educators.
This is very different from Western education which is meant to groom slaves and equip men with menial skills that can be replaced by a machine.
Education in the days of the Moors meant knowing what is within you and then knowing your environment.
To the Moors, all creatures were connected and understanding oneself meant understanding the greater part of everything else.
Nowadays, biology and botany are two different fields.
However, in the days of the Moors, these two subjects would be treated more or less as one subject.
The carbon of the man is melanin (black) and that of a plant is chlorophyll (green). Although the two species differ, they both reproduce and this is another common factor that connects biology and botany.
Once one understands how melanin works in his body, he can better understand how chlorophyll works in plants.
Such is also the case with reproduction.
The Moors would incorporate music with education.
For example, the four-stringed instrument which resembled the modern day guitar and was used for healing, had its strings named after the four liquids of the body. The first was yellow and symbolised bile, the second red and symbolised blood, the third was white and symbolised flam and the fourth black and symbolised hormones.
There would therefore be musicians who were also healers among the Moors.
The Moors would get up after midnight and fast till daybreak regularly except during the month of Ramadan when they would fast during the day and eat after sunset.
The morning meal was then referred to as breakfast because the ones who would have fasted at night would now break their fast after daybreak.
It was also the Moors who divided the meal courses into three and introduced the table manners that many Europeans now brag about as their own.

THE Moors were an African people and the word ‘moor’ literally means ‘black.’
These black people of Europe were popular among the whites because they brought with them commodities that had never been heard of in Europe.
Today black people who reside or visit Europe are derided upon and seen as drug dealers.
In the Moorish period, blacks were seen as sugar and coffee pushers. The whites treasured sugar above all things because it gave their malnourished bodies energy and for it they would sell all they could and even work as servants in order to acquire it.
Coffee too came by way of the Muslims and the name ‘coffee’ is derived from the Arabic word, ‘cohei.’
Sugar and coffee had at most been luxuries for Roman emperors and their nobles and had never made it to the rest of the Europeans until the time of the Moors.
The Moors defined nobility in Europe.
They dressed in silk and yet remained humble in conduct.
There were Moors who joined the whites and these would become the best generals and educators in the white nations after being baptised as Catholics.
It was also the Moors who introduced writing in many parts of Europe. Apart from Greek and Latin, there were no other forms of European writing until the time of the Moors.
Greek was, but a copy of the ancient Ethiopian alphabet of Ge’ez.
The Moors used Arabic as their official language but they made use of all others that were known to them.
Seeing that they were in Europe, the Moors took the Latin alphabet and created writings for the Spanish population of southern Europe.
This was also the case in Germany, Russia, England and Portugal.
All these countries owe the development of their literature and alphabets to the blacks who undertook this work in their lands.
Pushkin of Russia was a descendant of a black man called ‘Peter the Moor, the black and the African.’
Abraham Patrovich who was Pushkin’s maternal grandfather changed his name to Hannibal in memory of his great ancestor, the African military genius of ancient times.
The Moors would later also design the English alphabet and its grammatical structure.
The letters ‘b’, ‘d’, ‘e’, ‘f’, ‘h’, ‘j’, ‘l’, ‘m’, ‘q’, ‘r’, ‘s’ and the numbers ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘6’, ‘9’ all have their origins in Arabic.
Many of the English words are adopted from foreign languages like Latin and Arabic.
The Italian theologian credited with the beginning of the European Renaissance used the work of Moorish educators like Abarolas who had writings on faith and reason.
The likes of Plato and Aristotle were among the students of the Moors and the discoveries that are attributed to them came out of lessons learnt from the lectures given by the Moors.
The Barbarians were the people who used to believe that the world was flat, otherwise Africans, Asians, Greeks, Romans and other cultures had knowledge of the spherical nature of the earth since ancient times.
The history of the Barbarians is the history of the Caucasian white man. Seeing that the Moors were smooth skinned, the Barbarians began shaving.
The Moors had also brought oils with them to Europe because the cold would cause their skin to dry.
The whites would find this nourishing for the skin.
Soap had also been unknown to Europe until they got it from the Moors.
Most of these things that happened in Europe are known to many educated whites, but it is their objective to suppress the true history of blacks because it empowers us.
For 800 years blacks ruled whites in Europe and that is a period which is too long to forget or ignore.
Because the white people’s rise to power is directly linked with the suppression of the blacks, it is important for the whites to keep the blacks at the very bottom of the social hierarchy.
The whites admit that it is the Moors who civilised them, but they now portray these Moors as mixed race Arabs and not blacks.
The mixed race Arabs are no different to the mixed race Latino’s of South America.
They are mullato (mixed) races and Saddam Hussein would have been welcomed as a South American if he were to be born there because he would look similar to the likes of Hugo Chavez.
Some Moors had white concubines and their offspring were of mixed race.
This was a common and disturbing trend that occurred especially during the period of the first ruling dynasty of Moors which was known as the Umayyad.
From 710 CE, the year that the Muslims moved into Spain, up to around 1000 CE, this large Moorish kingdom was known as the Umayyad Empire.
At that time, Islam had a world government which was ruling from Damascus.
But around 1000 CE the Umayyad fell apart into smaller empires as a result of the wars that were fought by Muslims against the whites that are remembered as the Crusades.
The Umayyad dynasty had some mixed race people in it because it was mostly driven by Muslims who had come from the lands of Al Madina and Mecca, and also the Persians, Babylonians and Syrians of whom some had already become people of mixed race.
The dynasty which followed was not from Central Asia, but was from Africa and comprised of full blooded blacks who did not tolerate miscegenation and their sole reason for replacing the Umayyad was to retain the true way of Islam, which forbade marriage with the heathen and the infidels.
The area encompassing North Africa and Spain was then known as the Almoravid between 1000 and 1200 CE.
Sub-Saharan Africa had taken up Islam in the beginning of the 1st millennium.
This Islamic empire’s territory stretched from present day Senegal to present day Chad.
This region was named Ghana, Mali and then Songhai around the time Christopher Columbus went to America for the first time.
Along the shores of the Niger River arose a civilisation which eventually became the centre of civilisation in the Western world.
Its headquarters was in the city called Timbuktu which is in today’s Mali.
Another African dynasty known as the ‘Almohad’ would succeed the Almoravid and reign in Europe between 1200 and 1492.
The last two of the three Moorish dynasties were made up of full-blooded black people and the first one comprised many blacks as well.
During the Umayyad period, some Muslims had lost their way through lust for these loose Barbarian women who were immoral and caused some Muslims to commit haraam (forbidden acts).
The succeeding Moorish dynasties took preventative measures and imported black women from Africa who showed self-restraint and this limited temptation.

THE Moors were the founders of the first universities in Europe and the rest of the world.
The first European university was founded in Spain around the 13th century CE. However, there had already been institutions of higher learning which had been set up in Damascus (Syria) and Babylon (Iraq) before the Moors established themselves in Europe in 711 CE.
There were also universities in Egypt and Mali (Timbuktu).
The Moors reintroduced subjects like poetry and scripture to Europe because the Europeans had long outlawed the Bible and burned down books with precious knowledge.
For example, the Greeks around 400 BCE already knew of institutions of higher learning in Egypt, but after they took over the known world, they translated all the books they found there into Greek and destroyed the original scripts.
They also renamed the great library of Egypt, ‘Alexandria’.
The objective of these barbaric acts particularly the destruction of the original text to retain the Greek translation was part of a grand strategy to steal African intellectual property.
This is how the Europeans were able to perpetuate the lie that civilisation started in Europe.
The institutions of higher learning in ancient Egypt were degraded when the Greeks took over.
They did not see value even in basic education.
During the period of white domination, education had become a luxury that only the wealthy among both the blacks and whites could access.
When the Moors took over parts of Europe, education became a cultural attribute. The Moors established institutions of learning which were not only for the rich, but also benefitted the common people.
The Moors became the dominant power in Europe for almost 800 years, but their dominance started to wane.
Their decline was due to internal differences and wars among themselves.
In the beginning, the Moors were an unstoppable force because they were united in their cause.
However, when in power, there were several issues that led the Moors to fight against each other.
Miscegenation was a controversial issue which was a major source of disputes because some Moors, particularly the ones from Sub-Saharan Africa, could not tolerate that practice.
On the other hand, the Moors from Central Asia and North Africa regularly had children with their white slaves and concubines.
There was also the issue of how many wives a man could marry.
According to Prophet Muhammad, Muslims could marry up to four wives if they were able take care of them.
The other condition was that the wives had to be Muslims.
In Europe, some Moors had as many as 20 wives and as many concubines who did not necessarily have to be Muslims.
It was these conflicts which led to the internal divisions that led to the subsequent demise of the Moors.
The biggest beneficiaries of the Moorish civilisation were Spain and Portugal because these were the nations at the southern tip of Europe.
These were the Moorish strongholds and from there, the Moors would enter other parts of Europe.
The Moors also held a large part of southern France.
The white inhabitants of Portugal and Spain had access to Moorish schools.
All the universities that were built in Europe at that time had curricula and literature that were based on Moorish school of thought.
The Moors taught and wrote about navigation, mathematics and astronomy.
The fields enabled the Moors to travel around the world with great accuracy of direction.
The Moors possessed compasses and also had boat making materials which made their ships strong yet flexible.
These included hard wood, hemp rope and hemp sails from Africa.
The Italians would go to Spain and Portugal for their higher education.
The white students of the black Moors would acquire precious knowledge which they eventually used to exploit the known world after the fall of the Moors in 1492. It is not surprising that the first white nation to emerge as an enlightened people was Portugal.
Because of Portugal’s proximity to Africa, Moorish influence was strongest in that part of Europe.
Spain too.
When Columbus sailed to America, it was these two nations which aided him along with the Roman Catholic Church in Italy.
The Jews had no nation as yet and their Sephardic branch could be found among the nations of southern Europe.
Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew with Italian and later Spanish nationality.
On his first trip to the Americas, Columbus was accompanied by five Jewish moranos (mixed race) who were forced to convert to Catholicism.
The lands of America were initially divided among the nations of Portugal, Spain and Italy.
The people who reside in southern America are thus known as Latinos because they are from these Latin speaking nations.
One notable Portuguese scholar who acquired Moorish education on navigation and ship travel was known as ‘Prince Henry the Navigator’.
Prince Henry was a student of the Moors and the Portuguese remember him as the man who made it possible for them to sail around the world.
Until that time, the Europeans had been around the Mediterranean Sea, afraid to venture further into the world that was unknown to them.

House of the Blackheads (Latvian: Melngalvju nams, German: Schwarzhäupterhaus) is a building situated in the old town of Riga, Latvia.[1] The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornamentations. The sculptures were made by the workshop of August Volz.

The name came from the patron of the association - Saint. Maurycy, whose iconography was depicted as a dark-skinned figure.
