About Mali

Mali lessons use six dated records from UNESCO and the World Bank. They practice clear source language through Timbuktu, the Cliff of Bandiagara, the Manden Charter, Kôrêdugaw, Sanké mon, and a population indicator. Each lesson states what its source supports and what it does not prove.
