Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you’re familiar with Mansa Musa you might expect the headline to read, 'Mansa Musa – the wealthiest person that ever lived.' But in reality, he was more than just a rich person. Every source or article would either emphasize the subject of Mansa Musa and his wealth, or his famous pilgrimage to Mecca. Even though his Hajj expedition was fascinating due to the numerous events that occurred during the journey, there are many more interesting stories about his life. This book is about how he took over the throne, how his rule influenced the economy of the Mali Empire, and how his empire accumulated more wealth after his return. The book also covers the grandeur of cities like Timbuktu and Djenne that were converted into cultural and educational centers. Mansa Musa was a generous king who contributed a lot of his wealth and efforts towards the development of the Empire of Mali. He brought a lot of people with him to build universities, schools, and mosques to spread educational values and make Timbuktu a learning center. He also played an important part in spreading the religion of Islam. If you're intrigued about his life tales and his impact on West Africa and the world, this book is the right source for you.

Download or read book Mansa Musa and The Empire of Mali written by Jason Watson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa in the 13th century lay in ruins owing to countless civil wars and the ensuing famine. Amid the hopelessness arose a man who began to rebuild the ravaged diaspora. He instituted a government that was so efficient at managing the country of Mali that pretty soon it was the most progressive nation on the continent. Not long after, one-by-one, the neighboring countries began to join the fold until all of west Africa constituted a single empire. The emperor Mansa Musa had more wealth than every billionaire combined, today. This is his story. The genius of Musa's administration lay in decentralization. He ordered the formation of distributed administration pockets which repatriated taxes back to the central empire which lay oversight on their activities. At its height, Mansa Musa owned more than half of the world's gold reserves. On his pilgrimage to Mecca, he brought with him a caravan comprising tens of thousands of people bearing unimaginable quantities of gold. On reaching Cairo and staying there for 3 months, he and his people flooded the city with so much gold that it crashed the economy due to inflation. Come and personally get to know the splendour that was Mansa Musa. Here's a preview of what you'll discover in this book: Mansa Musa before coming to power Events leading up to him gaining control of Mali Musa succeeding Sundiata Keita as emperor His reign and development of the Empire His travels to Mecca and elaborate activities along the way His stay in Cairo and influence there His trip to Mecca and his experience there Bringing back ideas to his Empire and planning progress Mali as the epicenter of a great civilization The gradual deterioration of Mali Musa's demise and the legacy he left behind ..... And much more! Mansa Musa is considered a legendary and almost mythical figure in west Africa and no one can even imagine the amount of wealth he possessed. During his rule, the Malian empire became the greatest cultural, religious and academic center of the world. He was a visionary leader and way ahead of his time. This book will present an unrivaled perspective to who Mansa Musa was and what made him singularly unique in the history of mankind as a progressive king and social innovator the likes of which the world has never seen.

Download or read book Mansa Musa written by Captivating History and published by Captivating History. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Mansa Musa? And why was he important? In the grand scheme of things, very little is known of Mansa Musa's life. We know that he was one of the greatest emperors of the Mali Empire. And we know that he was actually one of the richest men of all time due to the enormous gold deposits in West Africa that were under his dominion, but large parts of Mansa Musa's life remain a mystery. We know, for example, that he later expanded the reach of the Mali Empire considerably, eventually incorporating the legendary Timbuktu into his realm. Such things certainly make for fascinating tales, but the truth is much of Mansa Musa's early life is virtually unknown. This is largely due to the fact that Mansa Musa did not have a biography of his exploits written about him during the time in which he lived. Rather than a written record, the narrative of his exploits that are remembered come down to us through the lore of the griot-Mali's oral storytellers. The tales that these bards spin are indeed riveting, but they tend to focus on certain key events in Mansa Musa's later life. The epic journey of Mansa's hajj to Mecca is covered, and so are some other key parts of his personal history. But many other aspects still draw a blank. Here in this text, however, we have really run the gamut when it comes to uncovering the life of Mansa Musa. Utilizing both the testimony of Arab chroniclers familiar with Mali and Mansa Musa, the oral stories of the griot, and archaeological evidence, we have put together a book that captures the essence of who Mansa Musa was and what he tried to accomplish. His story is like some great mosaic that has fractured over the centuries, but we have pieced it all together to present to you the best portrait possible of Mansa Musa and the life he lived. In this book, you will learn about: The backstory of the Mali Empire and its founders The rise of Mansa Musa as the emperor The transition of Mali from a pagan to a Muslim Kingdom Mansa Musa's pilgrimage to Mecca The incorporation of Timbuktu into the Mali Empire Mansa Musa's successors Mansa Musa's legacy And much more!
