Top 10 oldest Universities in the world – #3 is in Africa & was created during the era of JESUS (With Pics)

2. University of Al-Karaouine (Morocco)

Founded: 859

The second  oldest, and still operating university of the world. It was founded by Fatima al-Fihri, a woman. In the beginning it only has natural science as its offering. It wasn’t until 1957 that other mainstream science was added to the portfolio. This was built as a mosque to begin with and slowly expanded to become the largest in Africa. The university has statues as old as university itself.
