Salt · Desert salt headed south while southern gold headed north.
Ghana, then Mali, then Songhai · Ghana rose first, then Mali, then Songhai, each taxing the crossing.
درست · Camels carry loads, guides know the way, and wells give water.
Cut in desert mines such as Taghaza and carried south on camels · Salt lay in the desert, so slabs left the mines on camels for the south.
Because southern lands had almost no salt of their own · The south lacked salt, and people and food need it, so buyers paid well.
درست · No caravan can skip water, so wells gave control of the whole route.
Trouble on the road or at the wells broke the crossing · Salt stays in the mines until caravans can cross, so a break in the road stops supply.
No, because caravans must stop at wells, not sand · Power sits at the wells, since every caravan must drink.
