Wikipedia articleDbpedia source

Aghmāt was an important medieval Berber town in mid-southern Morocco which is today an archaeological site known as "Joumâa Aghmat". It is situated approximately 30 km east of Marrakech on the Ourika road. The initial "A" of the name may be unvocalized, and the name may sometimes be spelled "Ghmat" or even "Rhmate" (as it appears in the Michelin Guide). According to a Berber legend, Aghmāt was populated by Christian Berbers when it was conquered by the Muslim conqueror of North Africa Uqba ibn Nafi in 683. However, this story first surfaces almost 700 years after that date, and many historians give it no credibility. It is directly contradicted by one of the earliest Persian historians, al-Baladhuri. who states that Musa bin Nusair conquered the Sous and erected the mosque at Aghmāt.
