A proposito di questo titolo

From the 8th to the 16th centuries, the Tafilalt oasis in southeastern Morocco was a vital crossroads of the trans-Saharan trade, linking West African gold and salt with Mediterranean markets. This episode explores how this remote desert region became a crucible of power—first as a hub for the Sijilmasa caravan city, then as the ancestral home of the Alaouite dynasty, which still rules Morocco today. We trace the rise and fall of Sijilmasa, a legendary city that minted its own gold coins and was sacked by Bedouin tribes; the role of the Kharijite Berbers in its founding; and the strategic genius of Moulay Ismail, who used Tafilalt's prestige to unite Morocco. Lucas and Luna also discuss the oasis's unique irrigation systems (khettara) and its decline after the Portuguese diverted Atlantic trade. Rich with specifics—dates, names, and archaeological insights—this episode sheds light on a little-known chapter of Moroccan history that shaped the Maghreb's political and economic landscape.
