摘要
Most incredible monuments featured on the Ancient Architects channel are usually made of stone, but Djinguereber Mosque in the heart of Timbuktu, Mali, is made entirely of earth, fibre, straw and wood.
It was a famous learning centre of Mali and built in 1327 from entirely organic materials. It was apparently the brainchild of Emperor Moussa I, the richest man who ever lived, after returning from Mecca. The mosque has survived nearly 700 years and it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.
Emperor Moussa I or Mansa Musa as he was also known, brought in an Andalusian architect from Cairo to build Djinguereber. Apparently the protruding beams were inspired by European buttresses and the conical minaret are inspired by Egyptian pyramids.
