"A virtual gallery to showcase Mali's cultural history has been launched,
featuring tens of thousands of Timbuktu's ancient manuscripts.

The manuscripts were smuggled to safety from Timbuktu after Islamist militant
groups took control of the city in northern Mali in 2012.

They contain centuries of African knowledge and scholarship on topics ranging
from maths to astrological charts."
