Blk Americans see Mansa as a great historical figure. B4 he went "stuntin" during his pilgrimage. The world knew nothing about the gold in West africa.
He went to Venice in europe flexing his gold, & the Europeans were like. Where are you from again? Good to know. The people of Mali curse his name to this day
Good and rich history. Unfortunately, many aspects are repeated, over and over. A video need not be the longest to convey a message.
Mansa Musa – History’s Richest Man Documentary
Such should be taught in schools instead.
What untold early history is still there on African soil such as this one.
Imagine abu had succeeded? Damn
This is a astonishing story of mansa more than I've seen or even heard of on any publication or documention truly exceptional thank you for all those who worked on this it should be taught in our Grammer school right along side the European history bless our African historical heritage thanks
I mean Africa is the richest continent when it cones down to natural wealth
damn
Mansa Musa a legend : we stand on shoulders of giants who left indelible mark
Now I understand how the native American can be said to be from Africa. South America also
A+
Rest in Power Musa
Gratitude Gratitude Gratitude unconditional love to self and all the world 🌎❤

This dumb ninja enriched the Arabs 😂😂😂😂
From billions to begging. From ruler to peasant, biggest clown of all times
I find that black African history wanna make Mansa Musa a hero. And I as a Black Muslim find that Mansa Musa turns out to be one of the biggest suckas of all time. First they don’t speak on his people opposition to Islam and second how he was giving away his wealth. I cant find in my head that he died broke and begging of others. Somewhere and somehow I believe that the Muslim/Arabs took all his wealth. Broke
Has nothing on King Solomon.

Unfortunately his stories of untold wealth bought the world to Afrika & the resulting pillaging of all resources.
Mansa Musa's wealth came from gold, copper, and salt. And it was obtained on the backs of SLAVE LABOR
Could you please make a video on the Scramble of Africa, how the Euro-Renaissance mapped out Africa, then later in Berlin Conference Europeans planned to divide Africa amongst themselves with complete disregard of African kingdoms and how the power and resources the Europeans stole from Africa then formed a curse that resulted to the global World Wars due to greed amongst Europeans.
Zero percent chance this actually happened.
Mansa Musa 4514:>
WE WUZ KANGZZZ😂😂😂😂😂😂
He also owned 400 Greek slaves, a gift from the Byzantine emperor who admired Mansa and praised Timbuktu as a city far more beautiful and cosmopolitan than Constantinople. (The slaves were either debtors or petty offenders from central and southern Greece). One of these men, Nikolaos, became what was equivalent in European circles as "Master of the Toilet" to Mansa. Among his personal valet type duties was tending to Mansa when he relieved himself, including wiping and washing him afterward. Nikolaos remained devoted to Mansa, refusing freedom when it was offered to him, and continuing to serve the Emperor until the latter's death. He remained in Mali until his own death, living on a generous pension provided for him by Mansa.
Folks hate the truth. Truths that have been covered up or colonized hidden for years once it's finally told they always question it. That's how it's always been. Their ignorance and lack of accountability makes them feel superior and entitled when really their ancestors couldn't do a damn thing for themselves and enslaved people to do it for them. Called the enslaved "lazy" when they wanted to stop working for free, taking care of their kids, and started thinking for themselves. Stories like Mansa Musa's would be hidden and untold because he was African, wealthy, and thriving without colonization. Great video! Love this channel! 🤴🏿👏🏽🔥
What an insightful look into Mansa Musa's incredible legacy! His story is a fascinating blend of history and wealth. Thanks for sharing! 🌟
35:28 you mean white people
35:40 you mean white people
Anyone who would listen to this should realize these people tell history from 100's of years ago that only they know, but we have no historian to reference to. Abu Musa however was a governor in Kufa at the time of the Prophet and or the predecessors, and is mentioned in Abu Hamid al-Ghazala book of knowledge, so Munsa Musa could be Abu Musa and Kufa could be the original name of places like Mali. What we know is that These ignoble people over the Caliphs , the Calipate government. And are doing alot of trick to write "black" people out of history and try to write themselves into. As if Arabs are "white" or red. This is all "black" history
African's are now waking up keep it up 🎉🎉🎉
Very beautiful narrative.
Thank you for the education.
Nice video
Can we all agree this creator deserves more recognition
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mansa musa was White
It was recorded that Mansa Abubacary is the one who handed reign to Mansa Musa before travelling across the Atlantic.
😄
Omg we humans are truly hopeless only Allah can save us keep strong in your religion and don’t sell out to greed or ignorance is what I learned from this Africa if it stayed united would have been a beautiful place to live but guess what everyone got greedy and became chiefs truly tragic
Nice segment. Thank you
Mansa Mansa!!!!
I am only sewn to Sundatia Keita.. To the clan from Mali
You see the richest man in history is a BLACK MAN!
So rich he threw gold away, but couldn’t afford a rock to scratch his name on and used mud and sticks to build with.😂😂😏
Who actually believes in this.
Coogler and Micheal from the movie sinners is going to make a movie about this
Imagine if white people never came to Africa.
Did they make it to the Americas?
