Swahili history
" The Swahili culture and language began to take form around the 2nd-3rd century AD, as a consequence of the highly successful Persians and Arab merchants and explorers creating trading settlements on the Swahili Coast and nearby islands and mixing with the local Bantu people. "
 * Mohammed (570-632) didn't have a look in until the 6th century AD. Why are Swalili settlements in the 2nd and 3rd centuries attributed to Persians and Arabs? This is what the actual source given says, which is a UNESCO page: "The Swahili are urbanised African muslims, who have integrated many Asian cultural and architectural features into their own traditions. Written records of the trade links between Africa and Asia date back to the 1st century AD. But the trade reached its peak in the 15th century, referred to as the "golden age" of Swahili civilisation. Mogadishu, Pate, Lamu, Mombasa and Zanzibar are thriving towns still today. Indian, Arabic and African building traditions blend together to form a unique and cosmopolitan architectural heritage. Text: George H.O. Abungu."MrSativa (talk) 05:25, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
