概要

 Before the age of petroleum, olive oil was the fuel that powered the Mediterranean world—and Morocco was one of its most important producers. In this episode, Lucas and Luna trace the history of Morocco's olive oil trade from the Roman province of Mauretania Tingitana—where olives grew in the hills around Volubilis—through the Islamic Golden Age, when Fez and Marrakech became hubs of a vast commercial network stretching from Timbuktu to Cairo. They explore how the Almoravids and Almohads used olive oil to light the lamps of their great mosques and madrasas, how the Saadians traded it for gold and slaves across the Sahara, and how the Alaouite sultans taxed it to fund their armies. Along the way, they uncover the story of the 'másra'—the ancient olive press—and the Berber tribes who cultivated the groves for centuries. A deep dive into a humble commodity that shaped dynasties and cities. #OliveOil #MauretaniaTingitana #Volubilis #Almoravids #Almohads #Saadians #Alaouites #Fez #Marrakech #SaharanTrade #Másra #BerberAgriculture #MoroccanHistory #MediterraneanTrade #IslamicGoldenAge #History #FexingoHistory #NorthAfrica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
