Opps The trans-Saharan slave trade, also known as the Arab slave trade, began as early as the 3rd millennium BC. Records indicate that during the reign of the Egyptian king Sneferu, slaves were captured and transported from what is now modern Sudan to Egypt. This trade continued for centuries, with significant activity from the 7th century AD until the 20th century. The trans-Saharan routes were primarily used to move slaves from sub-Saharan Africa to North Africa, where they were sold to Mediterranean and Middle Eastern civilizations. This trade had a profound impact on the regions involved and the people who were enslaved.

Curry is the author of The Man-Not: Race, Class, Genre, and the Dilemmas of Black Manhood. In academic circles, The Man-Not is controversial for its discussion of the rape of Black males during American slavery by White men and women, its depiction of White feminism as the perfection of patriarchy and American imperialism, and the text's documenting of the rape and domestic abuse Black males suffer at the hands of Black men and women in their communities. Too bad he left out the sub-Saharan Slave trade and the castration of black males before their service in North Africa and the Middle-East. Compare and Contrast

Universal means Universal The *Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)* is a historic document adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. It consists of a preamble and 30 articles that outline fundamental human rights to be universally protected. Here are some key highlights: - **Article 1**: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. - **Article 3**: Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person. - **Article 5**: No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. - **Article 18**: Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. - **Article 19**: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression. - **Article 23**: Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, and to just and favorable conditions of work. The UDHR has inspired many national and international laws and has been a cornerstone of global human rights efforts.

@nyarparablepsis872 If so, it's a fantasy of several AI large language models, too.

@andreselectrico none mine, all Co-Pilot. However, to prompt AI you need knowledge for the ask.

@someonenotnoone garbage in garbage out. The Trans-Saharan Slave route is base fact, and why the city of Timbuktu existed. I had to have that base knowledge to prompt the model. Easy to fact check. Yes, *Timbuktu* was indeed a significant part of the *Trans-Saharan slave trade**. From around **650 to 1600**, nearly **five million enslaved people* from sub-Saharan Africa were transported through Timbuktu and other desert trading centers to destinations along the Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean. Timbuktu was a major hub on the trans-Saharan trade routes, connecting the Saharan interior with North Africa and beyond. The city was not only a center for commerce but also for culture and learning, housing famous libraries and attracting scholars from across the region. Does this help answer your question, or is there something more specific you'd like to know about Timbuktu's history? - Co-Pilot

@someonenotnoone be curious, respond to the fact of the Sub-Saharan Slave Trade, which has been documented since before computers existed. James Bruce, who mapped the source of the Blue Nile in the late 18th Century, documented the Trans-Saharan Slave Trade. Thomas Jefferson, in 1804, sent the USS Enterprise to protect US Citizens from being enslaved in North Africa. "The Shores of Tripoli" in the US Marines anthem. Easy to fact check. BTW, the Apollo 11 Moon landing was not a large language model hallucination.
