This place was founded in AD 1100. It was a seasonal camp used by Tuareg nomads. After it was incorporated within the Mali Empire, probably in the late 13th century, the Mali sultan, Mansa Musam, built a tower for the Great Mosque (Djingereyber) and a royal residence, the Madugu (the former has since been rebuilt many times, and of the latter no trace now remains). Shortly after this the city was annexed by the Mossi kingdom of Yatenga, but when the North African traveller Ibn Battutah visited in 1353, he found it again governed by Mali.

For the Gaels the isle was call Colm Cille. An Irish priest and prince who was to become revered as Saint Columba, founded this tiny island, of typically Hebridean beauty. It is the burial place of Scottish kings, clan chiefs, and monks. Were am I?

An oil port, this municipality handles not only the entire petroleum production of an Asian country but is also an export centre for oil fields in northeastern Saudi Arabia.

Apart from having a small settlement and penal colony for a short period on the Islands before 1833 (the greater part of this was ejected for 'piracy' by the United States Navy in 1831) Argentina's claim to the Islands is based mainly on her having been a successor to the Spanish Viceroyalty of the River Plate, which also governed most of modern Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Chile. In 1833 the British resumed control of the Islands, and from that date they have been in open, continuous, effective and peaceful possession, occupation and administration. The British people who came to live there thereafter became the first permanently established population of the Islands.

Mystery Place #5...clue #1 Vote for this post Reply to this Message

These people often speaking fondly of their colorful Viking past. Much of it is written down in the Landnamabok (Book of Settlements), one of the early sagas. While there is some argument as to the motives of the first widespread Nordic settlement, convention holds that the Norsemen were fleeing the tyranny of the Norwegian King Harald Haarfagri, who drove them from their ancestral lands in southern Norway. Arriving in this new land they threw high seats over the edges of their longboats and built their new homesteads where the seats washed ashore, believing that the divine hand of Thor would choose the spot. Sometimes it would take years before the seats were found.


Where am I?????

These people were like Vikings who sailed off from their homeland, Hawaiiki, between 950 and 1130 AD in groups of great seagoing outrigger canoes. They navigated by the stars. Where did they settle?

(i hope I'm not upsetting the order here by posting this when the next mystery has not yet been officially solved.)
