    The Mali empire was first founded by Sumahoro Kante, also known as the Blacksmith King. It is precisely because he was a blacksmith that the Manding would not recognize Sumahoro Kante's authority, and asked for Sunjata Keita to take over, and consolidate what Sumahoro Kante started.

    nice video but a correction needs to be made. the kings of mali were not considered divine. mali was an islamic empire and that would be considered a major sin to believe such. even sufi muslims would never dare to take on such a belief. Fun fact. im an african american who has 17% dna from mali. fun fact 2. as someone that has lived in egypt for 10 years, i have met a lot of people from mali that are students at al azhar university. they are nice people are generally know their history. fun fact 3. the movie the lion king is based on the first emperor of mali

      Thank you for the feedback and the fun facts! I should have made it more clear, by "divine" I didn't mean to give the impression that the kings were "God like". I can definitely see now that that was a mistake. I plan to do more on Mali in the future so please stay tuned. I appreciate your support!

      @@BilalMarcus False. Muslims are attempting to spread the myth that Islam made the Mali Empire great. What nonsense.
      Animists founded all of Africa's greatest empires.
      In fact, Mali existed prior to Mansa Musa's accession to the throne, and the leaders who preceded Musa were all animists. Berbers and other Muslims began pouring into West Africa like rats after Musa converted to Islam, exploiting the region.

    Do we know from where the majority of slaves in the Malian Empire came from? To what extent were they trading slaves with the Arabs?

    • @conceptualearning
      @conceptualearning  Před rokem +5

      From raids on neighboring communities and some through trade but This was a different kind of slavery than that of the trans Atlantic slave trade though which I will have a video on soon. The slaves in this time could sometimes achieve social mobility if they were skilled or loyal and their children would be born free.
