From the ancient Berber kingdoms to the Alaouite dynasty that still rules today, Morocco's story is a tapestry of trade, faith, and imperial ambition. Lucas and Luna guide you through the rise of the Idrisids, the first Islamic dynasty, and the golden age of the Almoravids and Almohads, whose empires stretched from Spain to sub-Saharan Africa. Explore the intellectual brilliance of Fez and Marrakesh, the trans-Saharan gold and salt routes, and the strategic port of Tangier that drew Phoenicians, Romans, and Portuguese. Witness the Saadian sultans who crushed the Songhai Empire at Tondibi, the Alaouite sultan Moulay Ismail who built a capital at Meknes, and the European colonial carve-up that made Morocco a French protectorate in 1912. The show delves into the Rif War, the reign of King Hassan II, and the contested Western Sahara. Why does Morocco's pre-colonial past still shape its identity today? From the Berber Imazighen to the Arab conquest, from the Alawi line to the modern makhzen state, this is a country where the past is never past. #Morocco #NorthAfrica #Almoravid #Almohad #Idrisid #SaadiDynasty #Alaouite #Berber #Imazighen #TransSaharanTrade #Fez #Marrakesh #MoulayIsmail #WesternSahara #FrenchProtectorate #RifWar #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • The Idrisid Dynasty: Morocco's First Islamic Kingdom

    The Idrisid Dynasty: Morocco's First Islamic Kingdom
    2026/07/17
    Long before the Almoravids, Almohads, and Alawites, there was Idris ibn Abdallah — a great-grandson of the Prophet Muhammad who fled the Abbasid massacre of his family and found refuge among the Berbers of the Volubilis region. In 789 CE, he founded what became Morocco's first Islamic dynasty: the Idrisids. This episode traces Idris I's escape from the Battle of Fakh, his alliance with the Awraba Berbers, and the founding of Fez as a city of faith and learning. We explore how his son Idris II consolidated the kingdom, the role of the Qarawiyyin mosque as a seed of scholarship, and the dynasty's fragmentation after Idris II's death. The Idrisids also minted Morocco's first distinctly Islamic coinage and established a model of sharifian rule — leadership through descent from the Prophet — that would echo through Moroccan history for over a thousand years. We also touch on the mysterious disappearance and likely poisoning of Idris I, and the legacy of his tomb in Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, still a pilgrimage site today. #IdrisidDynasty #IdrisI #IdrisII #Morocco #NorthAfrica #Fez #Volubilis #Qarawiyyin #AwrabaBerbers #SharifianRule #IslamicHistory #BattleOfFakh #MoulayIdrissZerhoun #Berbers #History #FexingoHistory #MedievalAfrica #MoroccanHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Regeneration of Marrakech Under Moulay Mohammed

    The Regeneration of Marrakech Under Moulay Mohammed
    2026/07/16
    After Moulay Ismail's death in 1727, Morocco descended into decades of civil war between the Black Guard, the Fassi makhzen, and provincial chieftains. Sijilmasa was sacked, Meknes fell into ruin, and Marrakech was abandoned to squatters. This episode follows the unlikely restoration of the southern capital under Sultan Moulay Mohammed ben Abdallah, who systematically rebuilt Marrakech's walls, its water supply via the khettara underground canals, and its Jewish mellah after it had been destroyed. We explore his controversial decision to move the makhzen from Meknes to Marrakech, his negotiations with European powers—Britain, France, Spain—and his revival of the port of Essaouira as a commercial hub. Along the way, we look at how he managed to placate the fierce Abid al-Bukhari slave soldiers who had destabilised the country for decades, and how his reforms laid the groundwork for the Alaouite dynasty's survival into the nineteenth century. #MoulayMohammed #Marrakech #Alaouite #Morocco #Makhzen #AbidalBukhari #Khettara #Essaouira #Meknes #Sijilmasa #Mellah #18thCentury #NorthAfrica #Berber #Sultan #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Moulay Ismail's Meknes: The Versailles of North Africa

    Moulay Ismail's Meknes: The Versailles of North Africa
    2026/07/16
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the colossal building project of Sultan Moulay Ismail, the second ruler of the Alaouite dynasty, who turned Meknes into a sprawling imperial city in the late 17th century. We walk through the massive walls, gates, and granaries of Heri es-Souani, the vast stables built to house 12,000 horses, and the intricate underground prison cells. Lucas explains how Ismail's ambition rivaled Louis XIV's Versailles, using forced labor from Christian captives and enslaved Africans to create a city of power and wonder. We also uncover the engineering marvels of the water supply system, the opulent reception halls, and the sultan's mausoleum, which remains a pilgrimage site today. Along the way, we touch on the sultan's controversial legacy, including his use of the Black Guard (Abid al-Bukhari) and his diplomatic outreach to European monarchs. This episode paints a vivid picture of a ruler who sought to build a capital befitting his absolute authority, leaving a mark on Morocco that still stands. #MoulyIsmail #Meknes #Alaouite #Makhzen #HeriEsSouani #Morocco #NorthAfrica #17thCentury #ImperialCity #Architecture #Engineering #Slavery #BlackGuard #AbidAlBukhari #Versailles #History #FexingoHistory #MoroccanHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
