Origins
Scholars have some general agreements about Ibrahima Fall’s origins. Neil Savishinsky (1994) states that Fall was descendant of a “tyeddo (animistic) lineage”. Another scholar confirms that Fall came out of an animistic tradition, but believes Fall’s family was prosperous and formerly powerful in Cayor. Other sources confirm that Fall’s grandfather, Damel Dethialaw, was a ruler of the Cayor state.

Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”
