Djenné and its great mud mosque ???????? Mali
The history of Djenné is closely linked with that of Timbuktu. Between the 15th and 17th centuries much of the trans-Saharan trade in goods such as salt, gold, and slaves that moved in and out of Timbuktu passed through Djenné. Both towns became centres of Islamic scholarship. Djenné's prosperity depended on this trade and when the Portuguese established trading posts on the African coast, the importance of the trans-Saharan trade and thus of Djenné declined.
The town is famous for its distinctive adobe architecture, most notably the Great Mosque which was built in 1907 on the site of an earlier mosque. To the south of the town is Djenné-Djenno, the site of one of the oldest known towns in sub-Saharan Africa. Djenné together with Djenné-Djenno were designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988.

MALI - Africa - Djenné
In the town of Djenné in Mali (Western Africa) you can find the famous loam mosque. On Mondays there is a big market in front of the mosque. Not only the mosque is made of loam, but a large part of the town as well. The town is registered on the Unesco World Heritage list. I recorded this video in January 2005. This copy comes from my Mali-film on DVD. Unfortunately I don't have the original footage anymore.
The path to the Great Mosque of Djenné
The Great Mosque of Djenné is the largest mud brick or adobe building in the world . The mosque is located in the city of Djenné, Mali on the flood plain of the Bani River and was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988.
Unfortunately 2012 is a bad year for the city, tourism has disappeared due to the terrorist threat of Al Qaeda and the risk of kidnapping. Half of the city has flead to other areas in Mali in the search of better opportunities. Very sad.

Visite de Djenné / Visit of Djenne (Mali)
Djenné (also Dienné or Jenne) is a historically and commercially important small city in the Niger Inland Delta of central Mali. It is just west of the Bani River (the Niger River passes well to the west and north). It has an ethnically diverse population of about 12,000 (in 1987). It is famous for its mud brick (adobe) architecture, most notably the Great Mosque of Djenné which was rebuilt in 1907. In the past, Djenné was a centre of trade and learning, and has been conquered a number of times since its founding. It is the oldest known city in sub-Saharan Africa, and its historic city center was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988. Administratively it is part of the Mopti Region.
Djenné was founded in about 800 CE by the Bozo people at a site known as Jenné-Jeno, 1.5 km upstream. It moved its site in either 1043 or the 13th century, when the city converted to Islam. This increased its importance as a market and a base for trans-Saharan trade, soon rivalling Timbuktu.
Djenné, despite its proximity, was never part of the Mali Empire. It existed as an independent city-state protected by walls and the geography of the inland delta. According to legend, the Mali Empire attempted to conquer the city 99 times before giving up. Djenné would not be conquered until 1473 by the Songhai Empire under Sonni Ali. The siege of Djenné is said to have lasted 7 months and 7 days culminating in the death of the city's king and its capitulation. The widow of the city married Sonni Ali, and peace was restored. In 1591, Morocco conquered the city after destroying Songhai's hold in the region. By the 1600s, Djenné had become a thriving centre of trade and learning. Caravans from Djenné frequented southern trading towns like Begho, Bono Manso, and Bonduku.
The city continued to change hands several times. Djenné was part of the Segou kingdom from 1670 to 1818, Massina under the Fulani ruler Amadou Lobbo from 1818 to 1861, and the Toucouleur Empire under Umar Tall from 1861 to 1893. The French finally conquered the city that year. During this period, trade declined and the city's importance with it.
Attractions include the tomb of Tupama Djenepo, who in legend was sacrificed on the founding of the city, and the remains of Jenné-Jeno, a major city from the 3rd century BC until the 13th century.
Approximately eight hours by road from Bamako, Djenné is notable in that it becomes an island when the rivers rise at the end of the rainy season. However, problems of a different nature were reported in 2008 when it was said that Djenné was drying up because of a controversial dam, completed in 2007, across the Bani River at Talo, about 150 km upstream.[2] The weekly market, when buyers and sellers converge on the town from the surrounding regions, is a key tourist attraction.

The Djinguereber Mosque 2021 (800 Year Old) | دنیا کی قدیم مٹی کی مسجد | Timbuktu Mosque 2021????????
Djingareyber Mosque is the World Oldest Mud made Mosque, build in 1327 entirely from organic materials (Mud, fibre, straw and wood), located in Timbouktou city of Mali around 800 years old. We visited here in November, 2021. It was amongst the World incredible places for learning and has contributed to the spread of knowledge in #westafrica. #djinguerbeg moque has
has survived nearly 800 years and it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.
Timbuktu really is a forgotten ancient city, and the ancient, unique architecture is at risk from desertification and also armed conflict.
Emperor Moussa I or Mansa Musa as he was also known, brought in an Andalusian architect from Cairo to build Djingareyber. Apparently the protruding beams were inspired by European buttresses and the conical minaret are inspired by Egyptian pyramids.
The Djinguereber Mosque (French: Mosquée Djingareyber) in Timbuktu, Mali is a famous learning center of Mali built in 1327, and cited as Djingareyber or Djingarey Ber in various languages. Its design is accredited to Abu Es Haq es Saheli who was paid 200 kg (40,000 mithqals) of gold by Musa I of Mali, emperor of the Mali Empire. According to Ibn Khaldun, one of the best known sources for 14th century Mali, al-Sahili was given 12,000 mithkals of gold dust for his designing and building of the djinguereber in Timbuktu. But more reasoned analysis suggests that his role, if any, was quite limited. The architectural crafts in Granada had reached their zenith by the fourteenth century, and it is extremely unlikely that a cultured and wealthy poet would have had anything more than a dilettante's knowledge of the intricacies of contemporary architectural practice
Except for a small part of the northern facade, which was reinforced in the 1960s in alhore (limestone blocks, also widely used in the rest of the town), and the minaret, also built in limestone and rendered with mud,[2] the Djingareyber Mosque is made entirely of earth plus organic materials such as fibre, straw and wood. It has three inner courts, two minarets and twenty-five rows of pillars aligned in an east-west direction and prayer space for 2,000 people.
Djinguereber is one of four madrassas composing the University of Timbuktu. It was inscribed on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1988,[3] and in 1990 was considered to be in danger due to sand encroachment.[4] A four-year project towards the restoration and rehabilitation of the Mosque began in June 2006, and is being conducted and financed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.[5]
On 26 February 2010, during Mawlid (festival to mark the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad), a stampede at the mosque killed around 26 people and injured at least 55 others- mostly women and children.
