Did you know?<p><br/></p><p>In the 14th century, Mansa Musa I of Mali was not just a king, he was the richest man in recorded history. His wealth was so vast it’s still difficult to quantify today.</p><p><br/></p><p>In 1324, during his legendary pilgrimage to Mecca, Mansa Musa traveled with tens of thousands of people and caravans carrying hundreds of pounds of gold. As he passed through cities like Cairo and Medina, he was so generous with his gold that he caused massive inflation, disrupting local economies for over ten years.</p><p><br/></p><p>But Mansa Musa wasn’t just about wealth,he was about vision. Under his reign, Timbuktu rose as one of the world's foremost centers of learning, trade, and Islamic scholarship. He built grand mosques, established libraries, and attracted scholars, architects, and artists from across Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.</p><p><br/></p><p>Mali, under Mansa Musa, was a beacon of African excellence, a thriving empire with diplomacy, education, and commerce at its core.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let this be a reminder: Africa's story isn't just one of survival—it's one of influence, innovation, and unimaginable power. ✊🏾</p><p><br/></p><p><a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/africahistory">#AfricaHistory</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/mansamusa">#MansaMusa</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/blackexcellence">#BlackExcellence</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/proudlyafrican">#ProudlyAfrican</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/timbuktulegacy">#TimbuktuLegacy</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/africankings">#AfricanKings</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/ourhistoryourpride">#OurHistoryOurPride</a></p>
