Start at Marrakech?

[edit]

This map gives the impression that the Almoravids began their conquests from Marrakech. This is incorrect. The Almoravids originate from much further south, from the Lamtuna in the western Saharan desert, and Awdaghust and Sijilmassa counts among their first conquests. It is only a while thereafter that Marrakech was erected. Can someone correct this map? Walrasiad (talk) 14:32, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
