@Peizxcv 4 ай бұрын

Mansa is just a legend and his story propagated the last few decades in the west. Supposedly he was king of a great empire but there is no record of his birth, early years, later years, and death. Actual historians cannot even determine years of his reign nor if he was an actual emperor, relative of the emperor, or just a caretaker of the empire

@user-yk4qt2bs5y 4 ай бұрын

@Peizxcv This can be stated about a lot of ancient figures. Some claim that Sun Tzu wasn't an actual person but a collective thoughts of military generals at that time. No one knows the actual burial of Genghis Khan as allegedly most of the people that attended his burial were killed. No one knows the exact method to how the pyramids were built but we know it was a Pulley system of sorts. Some things are just lost to time.

@Peizxcv 4 ай бұрын

@@user-yk4qt2bs5y While you have a very valid arguement, The Pyramids and Sun Tzu predate Mansa by 4 and 2 millenniums. Mansa also controlled Timbuktu, the center of learning in West Africa. It's quite unlikely scholars there didn't record their greatest king

@user-yk4qt2bs5y 4 ай бұрын

@Peizxcv your response has validity but birth dates/dates in ancient history have at times been difficult to prove. Socrates existed but no one can quite pin point his birth date, same as Confucius. Marco Polo (which was around roughly the same period of Musa) existed but there are conflicts about his travels and dates of his life. There are probably still important figures from that time period that probably have been lost to history or weren't that well documented.

The existence of King Solomon is not backed by archeologie and neither by history. He is a legendary king (for now, until proven otherwise). So I don't know how WatchMojo can say his fortune was about 2,2 trillion dollars?!? Are you mixing Solomon and his kingdom? Furthermore, archeologic ruins say that Israel was not a rich kingdom, more a minor agricultural country.

It being written briefly later would mean people would be aware of Solomon.

@@BelcherKendric-vn7ke The Book of Kings dates to the late 7th century to mid-6th century so a couple of hundred years after Solomon's supposed kingship. That's why he is a legendary king. There may have been a king named Solomon from around that time but there is no way of knowing (for now) that what it says about him in the Bible is true. Also, archeology demonstrate that the city of Jerusalem from around 1000 BC was no way rich enough to built a temple like the one described in the Bible. It was a big settlement but not a great city. Faith is not fact or history.
