All the Kingdoms of of West Africa gained their wealth from the so called Gold salt trade with the Islamic states to the north.
Ghana was the first kingdom of west Africa. Using the technology of storing grain and iron working ,the kingdom gained ascendancy in West Africa. Then with a monopoly with trade to the Islamic states became wealthy. The West African Kingdom would trade gold, ivory and slaves, for salt , manufactured goods, and cloth.
These precious goods from the north would then be traded with other tribes in Western Africa adding to the wealth. The Niger River was instrumental in moving goods within West Africa.
Ghana was replace by Mali as the dominate force in West Africa. Mali continued the same pattern of trade with the Islamic States. One of the kings of Mali Masa Musa ( meaning Great King) even traveled to Mecca bringing immense amounts of gold and slaves to the north
Mali was conquered by the Kingdom of Songhai. This kingdom followed the same pattern of trading gold, ivory and slaves with the north. The Niger River continued to be the main source of trade within Western Africa.
Then the Islamic Kingdom of Morocco decided to cut out the middle man. The Islamic Kingdom of Morocco destroyed the Songhai empire. However the other Western African kingdoms and tribes wouldn't trade with the Moroccans and the Gold Salt trade dissolved.
All three of the Western African kingdoms depended on the Gold Salt trade and control of the Niger River to dominate West Africa.
Answer:
The correct answer is the first statement: <em>It shows that Americans' idea of travel had shifted</em>.
Explanation:
The author shows by excluding the basics of travel, to get from point A to B, that something was different about traveling along Route 66.
Because of this exclusion that the author makes, we know that none of the other statements can be correct since all of them refer to travels that are <em>only trying to get from one point to another</em>.
Also, it is known that travels along Route 66 had a big impact on American traveling culture. It is safe to assume the author is introducing this idea.
You would be forgiven for thinking that Princess Diana had very little in common with Henry VIII or the artist Hans Holbein. But you would be wrong. The Tudors invented the portrait as a means of projecting personality, often by linking striking images with words.
If you look at any member of the Royal family in the last few hundred years capable of playing the same game, it’s the late Princess of Wales, posing alone in front of the Taj Mahal, anticipating the headlines.
In the first episode of a new series, The Genius of British Art, I will be examining how royal portraiture has reflected and defined the changing face of England. Five other presenters, including Jon Snow and Sir Roy Strong, will then explore other areas of our artistic heritage, from war art to landscapes.
In so many ways, the Tudor reign was transformative, and art is no exception. In 16th-century England, the idea of using a painting to capture and transmit the personality of a ruler was revolutionary. Until then, royal portraits consisted of a squiggle and a crown on a coin or a seal – they were merely tokens. But if you look at Hans Holbein’s 1537 portrait of Henry VIII, what you see is the man himself: there are no royal emblems, no crown, no flummery. The painting shows the King in all his thuggish dignity, a rugger player gone to seed. While paint can flatter or lie, steel in the form of a made-to-measure suit of armour with a 54-inch waist cannot. It’s clear from Henry’s surviving armour that the painting shows his actual, hulking physique.
There were two factors which drove this transformation of the portrait. One was the Renaissance: English artists and thinkers were influenced by continental Europe’s urge to recreate the lavish, realistic art of Rome. The second was the Reformation. The idea of English identity was invented in Henry’s reign after the break from the Catholic Church and Rome; you could say that he was the first Eurosceptic.
