In West Africa between the Senegal and Niger rivers, south of the Saharan dessert the kingdom of Ghana was prospering from a trade going through their land. This trade was the salt-gold trade between West Africans and African Muslims. West Africans needed salt to sustain themselves and African Muslims needed gold for their currency. Despite, being landlocked and near a dessert the kingdom of Ghana became a prosperous civilization due to its geographical location. The kingdom of Ghana was located between the salt deposits to the north and the gold mines of to the southwest. With this convenient geographical location, Ghana could tax the traders and amass enough gold to be the richest and most powerful kingdom in West Africa. The salt gold trade was important because it helped build a mighty African civilization that would not have arisen without the trade due to a lack of natural resources. In a more global sense, the arise of a great African civilization discredits any idea of racism or inferiority based on color that might have existed near the millennium and later years.
