    He didn’t create the first university in the region, he built the first one in the world.
    His predecessor didn’t die, but rather traveled to the west.
    His net worth was not 400 billion, it was more like 700 billion. And there were multiple empires on the continent.
    Although some points are inaccurate Alux deserves credit for shedding light on one of the worlds greatest leaders that has been kept in the shadows for far too long. 👏🏽

      "the first modern university in the world? "
      My god Afrocentrism is getting out of hand with their revisionist history
      The first university was established by the Arabs in Morocco in 859 where Fatima al-Fihri founded the University of Al Quaraouiyine.
      Mansa musa reign started in 1312. Meaning the University of Al Quaraouiyine is over 400 years older than the university of Timbuktu. Even European universities predate the university of Timbuktu
      •University of Bologna in Italy (1088), •University of Paris in France (1150)
      •University of Oxford in England (1167).
      •University of Cambridge in England (1209)
      And many more
      In addition to all that, the manuscripts of the university of Timbuktu are mostly in Arabic and not the native languages of west Africa.

      The natives and common languages of Mali were Bozo, Malinké, and Mandinka
      Arabic was never spoken in Mali let alone the use of Arabic scripture, yet most of the manuscript of the university of Timbuktu are written with Arabic scripture in the Arabic language, a language foreign to the people of Mali.
      According to some sites I came across There were hundreds of thousands of manuscripts and the "greatest" scholar was Ahmad Baba al Massufi who was a Berber from Morocco. He questioned the enslavement of black African in the Islamic/Arabic world and instead he advocated for the enslavement of Christians and Jews

      @TheCommentBeatKiller
      I dunno know what you are talking about
      By forced you be bought? A slave trade market existed in Africa long before the Atlantic slave trade.
      Black Africans captured other black Africans and sold them to the Arabs and Europeans.
      jamaica-gleaner.com/article/focus/20151025/africas-role-slavery
      When the Europeans outlawed slavery in Africa, African chiefs who became rich and powerful off the slave trade sent protest delegations to Paris and London.
      In fact to this very day black African are enslaved in Libya
      www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-africa-42492687
      Arabs and Muslim nations who slave trade lasted for over 1300 years only came to an end thanks to the Europeans powers. Slavery in the Arab world was acceptable for thousands of years.
      m.czcams.com/video/Ov9GFPmoOPg/video.html
      Africans openly took part in this as the Black Bantus were captured by the black Somali slave traders and were sold in large numbers over the centuries. Europeans never sold each other to the Arabs, the Europeans slaves in the Arab world were a result of Islamic raids on European coastal cities.

    Mansa Kansan muss ascended his throne after his predecessor, king abubakari the second. King abubakari had sent 400 ships to determine what lay beyond the Atlantic. Only one ship returned. So the king himself set sail with 2,000 ships.1,000 for himself and men.1,000 loaded with gold and provisions. When none of the ships returned mansa became king

      Explain to me why schools in the USA should teach about empire of Mali ?
      History consist of numerous events which are far crucial and impactful in human history than the empire of Mali.
      The Greek empire, the Roman Empire, the British empire, the Qing dynasty, the Islamic Caliphate, the Egyptian empire, the Spanish empire, the Byzantine empire etc
      These empires are empires which shaped our world and without these empire the world would look entirely different
      Empire like the Mali empire are on the same level as the
      Bulgarian empire, Serbian empire, or the Georgian Empire
      I'm certain the USA hasn't taught you about the Bulgarian empire.

    The Mali Empire was the 3rd largest empire in West Africa from c. 1230 to 1670. The empire was founded by Sundiata Keita and became renowned for the wealth of its rulers, especially Musa Keita. Tiimbuktu is second, with Songhai Empire in 1st.
    The most powerful of these states was the Songhai Empire, which expanded rapidly beginning with king Sonni Ali in the 1460s. By 1500, it had risen to stretch from Cameroon to the Maghreb, the largest state in African history.

    His armee could be 300000 cavaliers and infantries excluded the reserve , which is too much for an African empire of that time . Coming back from mecca the dept cell he bring back with him help bankrupt the empire unable him to control it borders , the kingdoms under his control start rebellions for independence .
    Unfortunately by lack of finances, unable to oppress the rebellions many of the rebels kingdoms get their freedom shortly after his death .
    Which of course help shape other kingdoms such as the songhay province into coming to be one of Africa's greatest empire .
