E. 149 Moors & Evil Dwarf Overlords

We welcome back Andy, the host of The History of Africa, podcast, to answer: who were the Moors? Only to learn that's not a simple answer. We learn what an exonym is. You think I'm telling you in the description? But after much discussion and information, we come to a working definition. We also reflect on the Moops, El Cid. Hamites, and other fun topics. We then move on to Madagascar myhtology on a race a demonic, red eyed, fanged teeth, dwarvish overlords. Were they real? Were they aliens? Demons? Did Christian missionaries sully the name of a non-converted or pre-Christian group? We learn how generational land ownership in Madagascar is tied to status and status is also often tied to being descended from a rare beautiful strain of this mysterious race. Because even in the ugly, demonic dwarves, some were none of those things, but the paragons of beauty.
