Greatest mud building in the world, West Africa.
 - greatest mud building in the world, West Africa. The focus of posting this video is not islam or the yts opinions of African architecture, but the architecture itself, and what we can gain from understanding the history of sustainable living (mud structures), and community building.- Kala
- Video is from Paradise Found - Islamic Architecture from Timbuktu to Asia by Waldemar JanuszczakThe mosque of Djene goes in well as an example African art, the community together working with mud looks like funCan see the whole video link bellow:http://www.videosift.com/video/Parad...to-AsiaAnother note, we see some African Moslem women in the video not wearing the hijab, this is because it isnt required in the Koran. A teacher when I was in High School said it originated from Byzantine http://www.whrnet.org/fundamentalism...0704.htmlAbout what the narrator said regarding the age of Djene, I feel obliged to point out Kerma is thousands of years older
