That mosque is beautiful. It really is a treasure for all humanity. I hope the locals can continue their tradition of replastering it for many more years to come!
The Bōso are a great Mandé tribe mention in the Tarikh Al Fattash. Glad to see our culture still strong, and our heritage still beautiful. Especially after all the tu’bab did to destroy our Nation. Long live Djenne, and a long life to the current Djenne-koi as well.
The documentary states that the building was in danger due to rotted timber. The mosque had previously fallen into ruins by the 19th century. The ritual may be nice for the town but the construction techniques are clearly unsustainable.
@@johnnycon That mosque and the way that it was constructed has stood in that village for how long before this "Project."? The people clearly know HOW TO BUILD AND TAKE CARE of their own structures. This is more than a "ritual" It is an important TRADITION! The Elder is correct. It has been europeanized, and the village NEEDS TO TAKE IT BACK and remud/plaster this temple as it has always been.
STOP bringing western culture to everything ! shame on whomever had this bad idea. if you wish to improve , improve from existing tradition and architecture , what non sens
j'ai dit, j'aime les vêtements marocains et je suppose que votre amazigh (berbère) je n'aime pas utiliser le terme berbère parce que c'est dérogatoire. 😔
The Mali people ABSOLUTELY should return to replastering/mudding their beautiful structure in their traditional way. IMAGINE being told by ANOTHER CULTURE that you can only resume your traditions in a certain part of this temple!! HOW DARE THESE FOOLS!!
The most unsightly building ive ever seen. I would rather if they just put regular scaffolding to replaster it. Those pieces of wood makes it look super primitive.
I liked this video until they talked about how they sacrificed a young woman to a Djinn. To me this is fucked up because I know that no good spirit would ever ask for a human sacrifice. They sacrificed that young woman to a demon!
@@JcoleMc There was a crude mosque there before the 20th century but it was re-done into the style we know today, in 1907. There was a native who was somewhat in charge of the work gangs, we have his name but nothing else is known about him for sure. The French took a leading role in the design.

One day they will claim that black people cannot build something like this .
Man I can't even laugh at that because it's depressingly true
Uh, blacks did not build this. White French built it in 1907.
@@marshalkrieg2664 "depressingly true"
@leon Look it up.
it French build use mud, using Berber style and Hausa style and called it sudano-Sahel, Sudan n Sahel both Arabic word
And before Arab influence there was the Dogons that already had there owned named village and city
That knowledge was undescribable
Allahu Akbar thats where my grandfather comes from djene I wish to know there
Sry if this offends u but it's Abu Bakar
Drago Blitz No, he got it right. Allahu Akbar means God is greatest.
@@dragoblitz9938 hahaha... tell me you are kidding...actually dont... you made me laugh😂
If the re-plaster tradition still continues, I’d love to participate!

How very sad these people were stripped of their spirit of belonging. Take it back!

You see this a better version of Islam, unlike the middle east, there's a lot of freedom and equality.
So beautiful masjid alhamdulillah

Djenne mosque was built by white Frenchmen in 1907. They made up the style on the spot too.
... Are you joking?
That's a lie
@@lf1496 Well then go to wikipeida and correct their article.

This is not African architecture, the great mosque at Djenne was designed and built by the French colonialists in 1907 using African slave labour.
please stop taking your information from wikipedia

What a spectacularly stupid comment to make, you have no ideal where I got my information from and it was NOT Wikipedia.
