History goes a little more back than the existence of the USA....
try 1000 years and learn.

Actually I was thinking more in terms of 2000+ years since I live in
the UK. --

Well then, I do take the part about those 1000 years back :-),
nevertheless, there is a lot to learn about the Mauritanian influence
on culture and science on today's civiliz/sation.

Well I did have a look at the site you mentioned but to be honest I thought
what I read was nonsense. Like for example the claim that the Anglo-Saxon
King Offa converted to Islam. Well considering this is based on some gold
coins found in Rome showing a misspelled Arabic inscription something to the
effect of Allah being the only God and having no associate in the World
along with lettering in Latin saying Offa is King (a contradiction if ever
there was one) and like this was sent to the Pope in lieu of taxes it has
all the hallmarks of a practical joke obviously didn't like paying his Taxes
but this must have had the Pope rolling on the floor. It's interesting to
note that one's ancestors also had a sense of Humour :)
