The World’s Oldest Banking System - The Morocco’s Ancient Granaries (Igudar) : According to historians, the Igudar granaries in Morocco are the world’s oldest bank, going back as far as the 13th Century CE. Some historians believe they may even go farther than that since the granaries are as... old as the mountains they are built in. These granaries belonged to the Amazigh people who settled in Morocco more than 4000 years ago. The Amazigh tribes mainly lived in the South of Morocco which is a mountainous area. They started to build granaries in the caves and cliffs of the mountains. Each Amazigh family owned a granary and stored their valuables inside it. These valuables ranged from documents and weapons to food and jewelry. An interesting finding is that some granaries were big enough to act as shelters during war times. Some had enough room for cats to protect the valuables from mice. Amazigh had various ways of managing the granaries. Firstly, they had tablets (boards) to keep track of the valuables and who they belonged to. The management was the responsibility of a secretary called the Lamine. Secondly, each tribed selected representatives which formed another management body: the Inflas. The Inflas comprised 10 people and each granary had a key holder called the Amir. The tribes only paid the Amir for their efforts to keep the valuables safe. Additionally, tribe members could safeguard their own granaries as well. One of the oldest and biggest of the Igudar is Agadir Imchguiguiln which is more than 700 years old. Recent renovations reveal that it has 130 granaries, a central square, a mosque, and even a prison cell. Aside from their physical value, the world’s oldest bank, Igudar granaries represent the collective trust inside the community and between different groups of people. In recent years, the Moroccan government has been working to have Unesco recognize the granaries as an international heritage of great importance as well. 🎥© laadiyoune (IG) #archaeohistoriesshow more

The FIRST Fiat-paper-monetary system was created by Tartarian Ruler, Kublai Khan. He was the grandson of the Tartarian King Genghis Khan and the founder of the Yuan Dynasty in China [Cathay] the First Tartarian ruler OF China. Say My Name.

Marco Polo wrote about his fascination of the money paper system used by Kublai Khan before the downfall of Tartaria. The difference between Tartaria monetary system and modern day banks is after Fibonacci's creations and the very first bank Medici of Italy

I don't get this post. This is an example of a modern day garage that stores foods for the families. Banks hold monetary issuance's and give interest rate returns on money in deposit. Banks became a thing after Fibonacci created integers/fractions/positive/negative/percentages.

@GearBooks That's not really a bank. It's more like those storage companies you see on Storage Wars.

The Moroccan ‘Igudar’ granaries, built in the 1400s, are regarded as some of the world’s earliest banking systems. Constructed by the Amazigh communities in southern Morocco, especially near Agadir, they provided secure communal storage for grains, valuables, and important documents.

The March and March Movement, a South African group leading the campaign for the removal of foreign nationals from the country, has expressed dissatisfaction with the government of Ghana over what they describe as an overreaction to the issue and attempts to portray South Africa as xenophobic. According to the group, they have great respect for Ghana as a country, but believe it is dishonest for the government to claim that Ghanaian citizens were assaulted when, in their view, they were only engaging with an individual who had allegedly breached the immigration laws of the country.

Today, the military and police are not enough — now even prison wardens have been dragged in to intimidate and harass. Do not be fooled, these people are not as many as they want you to believe. The courage of the people and the movement is far greater than their numbers. #ProtestVote2026 #ANewUgandaNow

These young ladies were waiting for their luggage, over a half an hour went by and still nothing. They were later called over to the airline kiosk and they got their luggage back. According to the representative, the luggage was damaged in transit. What makes it strange is it was all of the luggage from the same family, what are the odds of that happening since they weren’t all checked in at the same time. Does the airline owe them a better explanation as well as a check for their belongings?

In 1878, a tombstone was found in South Shields carved in two languages. Neither one was British. It was found at Arbeia: a Roman supply fort at the mouth of the Tyne, its granaries built to feed the whole of Hadrian's Wall. The Latin inscription named Regina: freedwoman and wife of a man named Barates, a Catuvellaunian by tribe, aged 30. She had been enslaved. Barates freed her, then married her. He was a merchant from Palmyra, a trading city in the Syrian desert, over 2,300 miles away. He lived and worked among the granaries that kept an entire wall fed. Below the Latin, one more line, in Barates's own script, Palmyrene. Almost no one else at the fort could have read it. "Regina, freedwoman of Barates, alas." Scholars who've studied the stone say that line is carved more confidently than the Latin above it. The Latin even misspells her tribe. He'd spent his life learning Rome's language. When she died, he reached for his own. 🏛️

A sensational theft has come to light in #Bengaluru’s #Marathahalli area, where gold, diamonds, silver, and cash worth ₹18 crore were stolen from the residence of builder Shivakumar in #Yamaluru. The accused are a couple who had joined the house as domestic workers just 20 days earlier, police said. The robbery took place on January 25, when no family members were present at the house. Shivakumar was on a foreign trip to the Philippines with friends, while his wife, son, and daughter-in-law had gone to a relative’s house. When the family returned, they found the lockers broken and valuables missing, bringing the crime to light. Police identified the accused as Dinesh and Kamala, a couple who had joined the household recently. Kamala worked as a house help, while Dinesh was employed as a security guard. Within a short span of 20 days, they gained the family’s trust by efficiently handling all assigned duties. Before their arrival, another couple, Vikas and Maya, who had worked at the house for nine months, had expressed their intention to leave for their native place. Shivakumar had asked them to arrange replacements before leaving, following which Dinesh and Kamala were hired. According to police, Kamala deliberately took the other house help outside on the pretext of going out. As soon as they left, Dinesh became active and reportedly called five to six accomplices to the house. The gang first switched off the UPS system and then broke open lockers located in bedrooms on the ground floor and first floor. The accused fled with 11.5 kg of gold, diamond jewellery, 5 kg of silver, and ₹11.5 lakh in cash, amounting to a total value of ₹18 crore. Police suspect the involvement of a Nepali gang, indicating that the crime was carried out with careful planning. The #MarathahalliPolice have registered a case and launched an intensive search operation to trace the accused and recover the stolen valuables. Multiple teams have been formed, and CCTV footage from surrounding areas is being examined.

Central Banking removed power from the people in every place on earth and gave that power to the people that control the banks of the world. Prior to 1913 the people had the control. The Government of the day could never go against you because the people had the ability to veto them Enter 1913 the creation of the Federal Reserve, the people lost their power as they were now able to bypass the people. They took your power but in actual fact, they gave your power to those that run the banking system.

A German movie was filmed in Peja, Kosova, in 1964. What is very important to mention is that in this movie you can see clearly the Albanian people present in the Monastery of Peja, and clearly you can see that they controlled the Monastery. Milosevic and the devil doings of Serbia's Orthodox Church have occupied and completely locked it up, filling it up with monks from Serbia, and now they class it as their own church. O Donald J. Trump, you are taking over the world, and my people, the Albanians, aren’t allowed to use their own monasteries? Remember Decani and Peja monastery are 99.9% of locals Albanians and still not allowed to use their own monasteries. I urge The Nobel Prize to nominate people of Kosovo for the The Nobel Prize for behaving in a human way, as no other people in the world would tolerate this. Taking into account that their monasteries are occupied with foreign monks. In the same place are the ruins of one of the oldest Catholic churches in Europe which was build well before Slavs started to migrate in the Balkans. The facts and evidence are kept in Vatican.

.Bret Weinstein explains a hypothesis as to the possible connection between the creation of SARS CoV2, the mRNA "vaccine" and the push to get as many people as possible to take as many shots as they could and the documented invasion of military age Chinese men through the southern border. "The Covid "vaccine" was a product of "dual use" research which means, bio-weapons. The spike protein in the so called "vaccine" was taken from SARS CoV-2. So it is also the product of bio-weapons research. People who get more than three of these shots have an interesting effect that none of us saw coming which is the triggering of something called IgG4. IgG4's purpose is to turn down an immune response. The fact that these shots seem to trigger the production of IgG4 is fascinating.... If you think about the things that people who produce biological weapons want, they want a weapon that separates populations. The Chinese did not vaccinate their population with mRNA technology or anything based on spike protein."

America’s largest Moroccan population is in Massachusetts. They also boast US’s largest Amazigh community, the native people of North Africa. Conveniently, here in the Boston area we get a rematch of the 2022 semifinal. If that wasn’t enough, 13 planes (around 3,500 people) have arrived from Casablanca. Morocco will feel the support of their people, even the ones born here. I spoke to those Boston-raised and Boston-born Moroccans. They identify with the national team. Sons of the diaspora who chose Morocco.

I love traveling by train. It has been a while, but I am going to make an effort to do it more often. This is the train from Casablanca to Tangier where we are filming TRUE BELIEVER. It is surreal to think that I put Morocco in TRUE BELIEVER because I had been there in 1993, well before I joined the military, and now we are finishing up the second season of the show here over thirty years later. The people, languages, sights, sounds, smells, and “feel” of Morocco were enchanting and I fell under its spell all those years ago which is how it ended up in the novel. Back in 1993, some friends and I had heard that Jimmy Hendrix had a beach house in Essaouira on the Moroccan coast so we rented a car (not sure exactly how we did this as in most places we would have been too young to rent one, though it was probably a combination of resourcefulness, creativity and bribes) to make the trek. That journey inspired the drive and conversation between Jame Reece and Freddy Strain as they drive to the CIA Black Site with the Atlas Mountains in the background in TRUE BELIEVER. As an aside, I’ve been working through a series of train chapters for a future novel…might find their way into the next one or maybe the one after that but when the time is right a train sequence is coming. Can’t wait for you to see TRUE BELIEVER come to life! Have a great day!

Residents accuse police of inaction as housebreaking syndicate operates openly in Mbombela Residents in Mbombela, Nelspruit have raised serious concerns over what they describe as continued police inaction against a group of criminals allegedly responsible for a spate of housebreakings across several neighbourhoods. According to community members, the suspects have been going from house to house, breaking in and stealing valuables, while openly bragging that they will not be arrested because of alleged connections within the police. Residents claim that the identities of the suspects and the areas where they reside are known to investigators, yet no arrests have been made. Frustration is mounting as victims say they have opened multiple cases, only to see little progress in the investigations. Some residents fear that the lack of visible police action is emboldening the criminals, who continue to operate with apparent confidence and impunity. Community leaders are now calling for urgent intervention by senior police management and oversight structures, urging authorities to act decisively, restore public trust and ensure that the law is applied equally, regardless of who the suspects may be connected to. Police in Mpumalanga had not responded to requests for comment at the time of publication.
