1225 BF - Ruins of Loropéni (2009)

DESCREIPTION
"The 11,130m2 property, the first to be inscribed in the country, with its imposing stone walls is the best preserved of ten fortresses in the Lobi area and is part of a larger group of 100 stone enclosures that bear testimony to the power of the trans-Saharan gold trade. Situated near the borders of Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Togo, the ruins have recently been shown to be at least 1,000 years old. The settlement was occupied by the Lohron or Koulango peoples, who controlled the extraction and transformation of gold in the region when it reached its apogee from the 14th to the 17th century. Much mystery surrounds this site large parts of which have yet to be excavated. The settlement seems to have been abandoned during some periods during its long history. The property which was finally deserted in the early 19th century is expected to yield much more information."

  1. This way my buddy Wesley Virgin's biography launches in this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.

    You see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.

    THESE are the exact same secrets many famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become rich and famous.

    You've heard that you utilize only 10% of your brain.

    Really, that's because most of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe this thought has even occurred INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about 7 years back, while driving an unlicensed, trash bucket of a car without a license and with $3.20 on his debit card.

    "I'm absolutely frustrated with going through life payroll to payroll! When will I become successful?"

    You've been a part of those those types of conversations, isn't it so?

    Your success story is going to happen. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
