Archaeologists have discovered ancient cemeteries, standing stones, and rock art on the Tangier Peninsula, revealing a rich prehistoric landscape dating from 3000 to 500 BCE. The findings include the first radiocarbon-dated cist grave in northwest Africa and unique engravings that suggest complex burial and ritual traditions.
To free Tangier, seized by King Charles II of England, Moulay Ismail sent Ambassador Mohamed Ben Hadou to London. The latter became a popular figure in England and was invited to universities and honorable institutions.
