Does the description of Africa
help educate people?
Is the Description of Africa a Reliable
Source
Yes, we think that the description of Africa
did help educate people because before they thought it was a dark continent and there was hardly any life. Since Leo Africanus has told the description people are more educated and aware of Africa and do not call it the dark continent anymore.
Yes, we think the description of Africa is a reliable source because Leo Africanus was there at the time and saw what Africa was like. Leo Africanus may have been a bit biased because he was raised and born there. He also may have compared Africa to Timbuktu and thought it was much better or worse.

Timbuktu are huts made of clay-covered wattles
with thatch roofs. Also instead of coin money ,pure gold nuggets were used. The people of Timbuktu where of a peaceful nature and they where continuously walking around the city in the evening and the citizens have a service many slaves and both men and women attend.
