At that time, the Empire of Ghana began to acquire a reputation of being a land of gold. It reached the maximum of its glory during the 10th century and it attracted the attention of the Kebabs. After many years of struggle, the Berber Almoravids dynasty came to power, although it did not hold it for a long time. The empire declined and, in 1240, was destroyed by the Empire of Mali.

They lived from animal husbandry, agriculture and fishing. They inhabited a region with large reserves of gold. They drew gold to trade for other products with the people of the desert ( Berberballs). The region of Ghana has become, over time, an area of intense commerce.
