To all those people saying he was the richest man in history, historians say agustus caeser was worth 4.6 trillion so i believe its safe to assume that these inflation adjustments are out of hand a little, or atleast its not fair to say an entire countries collective wealth belongs to one person just because he controls it, because if we did that, mansa musa would be much further down on the list of richest men in history

What was said in that book was essentially “Africa is big”- then proceeded to talk about population density in Italy and applied that to Africa. 🤦‍♂️ the population of Africa in the 1300s was around 50 million

What if Mansa Musa's Mali Empire discovered Brazil in 1324 when they voyaged West to see what was there? Which would make sense as to why the Portuguese were able to conquer so much land being such a small nation in comparison and why they didn't have troubles with the Indians since disease would have already spread leaving it mostly empty for them to conquer. The Amazon and the Andes Mountains would have acted like a wall preventing disease to spread. Also what if they brought the Black Death back from the New World on their voyage just in time for it to spread soon after? They supposedly did find gold tipped spears in S. America which are only found in Africa. Mansa spoke his predecessor did indeed travel to new found lands.

@JPJ432 Ай бұрын

Also if you look on a map the shortest 2 points of the 'New World' and 'Old World' are exactly were the Mali Empires coast is todays Senegal and Guinea Bissau to Brazils Cities of Natal and Recife. Since the Portuguese colonized Guinea Bissau that is where they could have got the idea. They did asked to pope to amend the treaty of tordesillas to include more of the western hemisphere for Portugal perhaps for that very purpose of them already knowing. Both the Trade Winds and the Ocean Currents make it ideal to travel as they both circulate from those 2 points.

@TiagoH1710 Ай бұрын

The only part here which is definitely not the case is the Black Death coming from the new world, it originated in the far east, IIRC in China, and other outbreaks of the plague phase already happened in the Middle East (during Byzantine reign), yet the rest is pretty interesting to think about

@JPJ432 Ай бұрын

@@TiagoH1710 Also I don't see Mansa Abu Bakr taking a Royal Expedition of 500 ships into the Atlantic ocean without having prior knowledge that something was there first. Not saying the Black Death for sure came from the New World but that it could be possible. How much have we learned the past few years that there is more to our school taught history than we have been told? Perhaps the Black Death did not come from the The Eastern side but the Western side. The Polynesians did travel all throughout the Pacific Ocean around the 1300s and there were Chinese voyagers as well. There also is that Sweet Potato cultivation theory from South America with the Polynesians. Just possibilities and ideas my friend. Food for thought is always fun to think about. It is coincidental that the Mansas Travels do line up almost perfectly with the Black Death in Europe but it could be just that, a coincidence.

@Adsper2000 Ай бұрын

⁠⁠There’s no chance that the Black Death originated from the west instead of the east. Yersinia pestis was endemic to Eurasia since like the Neolithic, it was the cause of the Justinian Plague almost a thousand years earlier. Whereas it was not known to be in the Americas until Old Worlders introduced it. Also if the Malians put any serious effort into colonizing America, logically they should have set up naval bases in Cape Verde. Except when the Portuguese showed up to Cape Verde in 1456, the islands were completely unpopulated and there is no sign of prior human occupation.

@@TheGahta I got it from TCI, I learned it at class. Schools do manipulate history, I know that. but why would they do it to an African king in the Renaissance time period? The Wanganda people (I think thats how they spelt Wanganda) used specific clothing and they also used their own language probably. So when they traded, what they did was leave items in one place, leave, and then come back to pick the item up and leave the item of interest there.

Fascinating that he was a Justinian of his time, he also did amazing things that, in the long run, completely broke his empire, even though it had a damn impressive run even after he died Edit: if yall are curious, Mansa Musa's son spent his entire reign basically trying to maintain his father's growth, and once he died Mali had terrible ruler after terrible ruler, each of which was fueled by Mansa Musa's wealth until it broke Mali and allowed Songhai to surpass them (tho Mali actually outlasted it, albeit in a very diminished form)

The video presents some interesting insights into Malian history, but there are a few details that might need clarification: -The Tuaregs were not the primary traders for the Mali Empire; this role was held by the Dyula, the merchant class of the Mandinka people. -The Mali Empire’s wealth was largely derived from importing copper and salt, which was then sold to the people of what is now modern-day Ghana. In exchange, these transactions involved substantial amounts of gold. This gold was later used by the Mali Empire to acquire goods from North Africa and Egypt, which were traded within the empire's territory. This process was described by Mansa Musa himself in an account documented by Al-Maqrizi, a scholar from Cairo. I appreciate the effort put into creating the video though !
