Ahmed Baba: The Scholar They Tried to Erase | Africa’s Hidden Genius | RearView TV

#RearViewHistory #AhmedBaba #timbuktu Journey to Timbuktu, the legendary city of knowledge, and uncover the life of Ahmed Baba, one of Africa’s greatest scholars. In 1591, the Moroccan army invaded, looting libraries and exiling intellectuals — an attempt to erase centuries of African wisdom. This documentary dives into the psychological and cultural weight of lost knowledge, the manuscripts that survived, and the enduring legacy of a man who fought for Africa’s memory with thought, not swords. Witness the haunting beauty of Timbuktu, the stolen manuscripts, and Ahmed Baba’s foresight ignored by history.
