Love your content guys! You're the Best 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thanks. I have been looking forward to this.
You brushed off that insignificant part about him running slave trade with the arabs. You dodge it like Neo dodges bullets.
The man literally ordered the kidnaping and enslavement of millions of africans.
Sources please.
African history starts the human history!
The Mansa era is such a fascinating period in human history. Worthy of a movie or tv series. All ambitious film makers out there, take up the challenge.
I agree 100%
I'am from Mandé Empi 22:39 re ( Now Guinea-Conakry after colonizers divided the Empire). My forefathers are from Mali 🇲🇱. I'm so grateful to see this on your YT channel. I thought my children about this impressive Empire. We are the true kings, Queens, princes and princesses. My Africa, may our Creator unite all the countries again. Amen. Thanks😊
Mansa musa one of the greatest black leaders in African history
Oh I have been waiting for this one. Thank you!
I have also been waiting for this one.
The first African to discover America untold truth
That we know of! 😮
KING SOLOMON BEEN DISCOVERED AMERICA I BELIEVE
Africans have visited turtle island many of times in the past my friend. I wish you the best in your voyage of history. A lot of information has been lost and destroyed. Maybe one day we all can access our planets unadulterated history, not just one side.
oke but lets stick to facts. cause at dipoint could be clsimed tbat vikings made it first
😂😂😂
I love African history about black people
Very good video. I love learning history and seeing the world from different perspectives. This was informative
Best one about him on TH-cam so far!
Been patiently waiting for this gem....love the work...keep it going!!!
I believe the lost fleet found the Americas.
Spira Boats has a good account of the journey from a boat builder's perspective.
They definitely did...according to Christopher Columbus
I believe the found the America's too. It makes no sense for a brother to take the same journey which your brother perished in. Obviously the brother found the America's, sent someone back to secretly tell his brother about his discovery so he can quietly join him in the America's. I'm a Keita myself from The Gambia and these are my ancestors.They discovered the America's and lived here long before Columbus came.
There is some evidence from the culture and skin color of certain parts of south America when conquistadors arrived, but it isn't certain.
The type of African history that should be taught - not the ridiculous revisionist mashup promulgate on social media
There's a reason not even africans like to talk about him. Mansa Musa built his wealth on slave trade with the arabs. He literally ordered the kidnaping of millions of human beings and sold them into slavery, 30% of them died while crossing the desert, not to mention the hundreds of thousands he slaughtered in the raids for slaves.
Some travellers described the path littered with human bones in the slave trade routes through the desert connecting to Timbuktu. He was his people's worst enemy, corrupted by arab slaverers.
Both are useful. Truth should be our focus moving forward
@@truthismycause2800I have no idea what you are talking about. Slavery of that day would not be considered the same as chattle slavery in the americas. They were more like indentured servants or converted enemies.not the same. Alot of our American presidents were slave owners. Julius Ceaser owned slaves as did many Roman emperors.
I claim Mansa Musa his predecessor also,who did make it to the America's by the way. There is documented evidence.
@@user-by6cs1sy7yoh really?. So cutting off the balls of men is not bad? Raping women?
Stop with your bullshit.
@truthismycause2800 , you made a claim that is likely dubious because you have made no citations. Should we accept your rant just because you ranted?
This is a very good piece on Mansa Musa. Based on historical accounts we know he is considered the richest man who ever lived by his peers and a founder of the university education system. Pretty amazing. Unfortunately, many African nation states during Medieval Times were being destroyed by religious fundamentalism. And unfortunately this trend continues today. Thank you for the wonderful production.
Religion never destroyed African nations, there was nothing to destroy...90% of our people hadn't invented written language....AND, there were NO nation states, only tribal states...the reason for our primitive lifestyle was because we were closed off! There was no exchange of knowledge and technology from the wider world! The West and Far-East were at an advantage because they were all connected through a network of connected roads built by the Roman empire, this way the invention of gun powder in China was able to spread vastly all the way to England....This is how development and progress is made. Africa's progress came via colonialism when Europeans imported their way of life to us, centralized governments, putting an end to tribal warring and female circumcission, polygamy, ETC, ETC these horrible practices were done away with via the introduction of Christianity. Btw, we hadn't even invented the wheel in Africa.
We joined the rest of the world via colonialism, just like The West did under the Roman colonialists!! It's not a shame, the England and Germania were all barbaric and primitive until Rome civilized them.
Have you ever heard about Prester John?
@@block33music19 - not that I can recall.
@@mrmikemrmike You should. He is a contemporary of Mose/Musa (who was said to be the richest man alive and a descendant of or an ancestor to King David of the bible). Prester John, the king of Abyssinia.
@@block33music19 - yeah - I've heard Prester John, the king of Abyssinia. Forgot. Well when they find historical artifacts or a body ... let me know.
Good work team! 🎉
I would really like to hear more about African history. This was very interesting.
I was wanting to find out some information about Mansa Musa and saw another video from this channel and click on to subscribe and save ti watch later and saw this as the latest video. Nice synchronicity. 😊
Thank you for this video
IF ONLY SOMEONE MADE A FILM ON THIS.....
True. Just they have made beautiful movies and series on Shaka Zulu. This would be a good one to watch and learn!
Fabulous documentary. I'm much inspired by this history of Mali.
Me too 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🦍
Mensa Miss was the greatest visionary wise leader of Mail filled with passion for Malians and displayed zeal for African development. His trip to Mecca was an eye opener for civilization in d building of Musks for d advancement is Islam. Mail no doubt is d biggest an greatest Nation under Mensa Musa
My oldest brother and I were discussing this person a week ago and now this video turns up. Mansa Musa is a favorite person of his as well as military history.
Aloha from Hawaii!🌋Mahalo for the education. It will all be revealed in due course of time.🌈Big Blessings to all!
Great Video.🎉
Well his net worth is incalculable❤❤❤ he is the richest emperor in the history . Even the google couldn't able to give exact amount of his net worth. The google basically calculated 400 billion dollars from the amount of gold which he had given from his pilgrimage to Mecca and also he had made many enormous mosque at the time of his pilgrimage. I think his net worth will be 200+ tillions. At the time of his ruling, his mali was the most gold producer among the world also his nation produced salt which was as precious as gold at that time because at that time there was no electricity and refrigerator available so to preserve food; there was no alternative rather using salt also a very rare fruit was produced in his region . By watching these kinda phenomenons we can obviously understand how much wealth he possesses!!!
I am intrigued by how determined he was to return to Mecca and live there until he realized his son would ruin the kingdom.
We should have watched this documentaries in school
Amazing work
First African movie l wish that story was told when l was growing . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
GREAT HISTORY WHICH IS COMMONLY LEARNED IN AFRICA. THANK YOU.
There is a difference between servants and slaves
He had both
Kindly make something on General Giap.
It took 10 yrs for the price of gold to stabilise/recover in Egypt…. Early Europeans voyagers to Latin America report of seeing/engaging with black African in what is now Brasil.
Love the detail
Great story🎉
This account of Musa is going to piss some folks off 🤣. Anyway, great record about him. I hope you do one on Robert S. McNamara (longest serving U.S Defense Secretary).
Yes, that's why you have people claiming that he didn't exist. As if, their validation or approval is required.
Yes I believe it. 😊
This guy in the thumbnail looks just like the singer Seu Jorge!
Amazing work! You guys are the Best! Please do Napoleon III the last monarch of france
Great recommendations
Hello 🤗 I'm Joanne from Singapore 🇸🇬
I ❤❤❤ your content! May i please request a video on King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem? He seems like a really nice, just and peace-loving man 🙏🏻 Thank you 😊❤
Lol you read history
Sounds interesting, I have never heard of him
Based on kingdom of heaven?
They saw his wealth and within 200 years the entire continent had been destroyed.
This should be the best lesson in history not to flaunt your wealth.
Yes.but why do the minds of evil people exist.then they pretend to be the good ones.
@@yes-jn9yp dont try to understand evil people, it will drive you crazy family.
🔥👑🔥
Thanks
Give the West enough time they will portray him as white 😂
Well... When you read ancient texts, remember the root word of black is blac which means white. Source: Dane Calloway
@@NONANTIlol stop trying to whitewash history 😂😂 manes was WHITE
They already have! You have a Eurocentric TH-camr called Robert Sepehr who has claimed him as well as Kush and Ethiopia were white 😂
@NONANTI ancient texts weren't written in English and therefore these people weren't likely to be referred to as black. And even colonizers didn't initially refer to them as black. Based on the time period that black people started to be widely referred to as such, I'd say I highly doubt us being labeled as black has anything to do with the words origin or ancient texts.
Yall gives white Americans way too much credit, the settlers, their descendants and other European groups who immigrated here, weren't these world traveled, cultured scholars. They really didn't know anything.
By the description given, *_the Malian explorers,_* found and sailed into, the Amazon River.
Actually, by the telling, the boats
*_W E R E,_* *strong enough,* to sailed, from West Africa to the Amazon River.
*T H E N* sailed back to West Africa.
As a wealthy nation, that traded with Muslim nations, the Malian Navigators would have had: *_astrolabe, astrolorlabic quadrant, cestrial sphere, compass_* and *THEY* knew *_h o w_* to used them.
*T H E Y,* *_knew_* the world *_is_* *ROUND!* *THEY* knew, *THEY* weren't, anywhere near India!
What happened to all his wealth? You should do Jacob Fugger next
it vanished because most of it was just a myth
@@ezrathegreatconqueror cmon man dude was the biggest slave trader of all time
Elon Musk, Crassus, Bill Gates, John D. Rockefeller: We are rich!
Mansa Musa: Hold my camel
Rothcheld: look at these paesants
well it seemed like his wealth was a myth. at least on that extreme level of wealth that people speak of is not true.
You should read up on Akbar the Great. You can combine all the wealth of all those people stated, and still be well short of Akbar's.
@@jbgibson2026i think shahjahan was richer than him also the most richest would be Aurnagzeb
@@jbgibson2026or once richest nizam of hyderabad Mir osman khan
Listening from Flint
where?
@@DoochosI’m guessing flint Michigan?
Great Documentary ! Do more African history post colonialism. This was a good one Thank you!
Well presented
Yess!!! MANSA MUSA' is believed to be one of the best leader in his Reign of the 12-13th Centure but most of all ' The Wealthiest Blk Ruler from the beginning of this civilization to presently: He is Wealthiest of the Kings on earth to this day, no other Rulers. Sheiks, Sultans, Ozarks, Kings 🤴 has ever accumulated his wealth: He was one of the Greatest & Richest Kings that lived on the Continent of AFRICA 🌍 👏 😊
The strong 💪 blk man MANSA. Made Emperors & Queens look like children in the game of wealth😢❤
FINALLY!!!
I wonder if his generosity caused jealousy among the people he gave Gold to became invaders. I would believe after that Pilgrimage people everyone heard about his giving and started wars
Where's all the wealth now? Who are the thieves that stole all the african Wealth?
🙋🏻♂️🙋🏼♂️
Indeed
There is no mention of the pre ancestry of Mansa Musa and what was accomplished globally..
I find that I have little patience with people who make wealth off the suffering of others, whoever they are whether black or white or any other shade . Enough with cruelty and wickedness!
I'll give you some gold for this
Cringe
@@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn
Shut up 🤫
I taught my son about Mansa at an early age, he loved the story so much he named his dog "Mansa"😊
24:52 How do you even utilize 12 000 personal servants?
All of them.
Slavery is very inefficient
I couple of seen Chadwick Boseman play him in a movie :/
The real life king midas! Amazing! 💛💛💛💛🪙🪙🪙🪙
Xi is richer
When I found out he was the richest most powerful enslaver of his own people at that time i had to place him in another category he had slave and gold in his travels the reason Africans don't talk about him is he lettered the desert with African bone 😢
Most powerful enslaver according to what piece of evidence from his time??
@@admirekashiri9879 the thing is I don't have any I'm using common sense and some of the same BS you've apparently seen I've read of how he transported all his shit if you truly love history love all history good and bad and in-between he's still a great person to study but there are no innocent Kings bra
I agree. You don't get this rich, in his time, without being cruel, viscous, and murderous.@@michaeldavis8594
Lets go! KING MANSA MUSA 🤲🏾📿 documentary done the RIGHT WAY🎖️👑🪙✊🏾. Thank u.
Don't get carried away. Mansa already means "king".
@@NONANTIabsolutely right
thank you
what a legend of a guy, he was very inteligent
The Man,Who Could Have Owned, A Real Golden Gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Solid Gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are asking if MANSA MUSA did met THE HOLY PROPHET OF ISALM during his visit in THE HOLY CITY OF MECCA.
If he / MANSA MUSA did not meet THE HOLY PRP[HRT OF ISLAM, then what was his visit to THE HOLY CITY OF MECCA because THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMED PBHH was The Ruler of MECCA and MEDINA at the time. Thanks.
I respect an Empire beyond the year 2019, you believe the Father, the Son, the Brother who is the Wealthiest again? No Mother, Sister or Wives not involved with this wealth being non taxable?
There is a "river" in the Atlantic Ocean, that does take you to South America. So that captain was telling the truth. How come people always fail to mention this tidbit of information? If those ships did enter that river then they most likely landed in the Americas. But we cant admit that.
Also, if Africa is the richest continent, why are Europeans and Americans considered the richest people in the world? Another round of Eurocentrism.
because Europeans learned to use the little riches they had to create the world you live in, while the monkeys never managed to find out what to do with all the resources they had
Guns, germs and steel determined wealth in the modern world, not gold or jewels.
Because the corruption and incompetence of its governments don't allow for their societies to develop their wealth.
The first "Indians" that Europeans encountered along the East coast of the "Americas" were black.
@@NONANTI no they weren't.. the explorers kept pretty detailed notes and no mentions that. Black people wouldn't be in the Americas until the Transatlantic slave trade started. That didn't happen until the Europeans were firmly settled and the native population had started to migrate west (or died).
Is that Prester John?
you should cover king sejong of middle korea
Oh Great Africa ❤
Is the real Caisar/Sultan Mali. Raja Terkaya Dijamannya
do an episode about KHALED BEN WALID
It makes you wonder who stole all the riches
Need more African history. More history that isn't European.
To be so rich, you destroy local economies on your travels
❤
Yes he certainly was &may his sole rest in peace
Imaging a woman talking to a man who is not her husband... what a cringe.
...yes?
Consist with that religion
Islam in one word
That was back in a time where women were respectable. Not giving it away to every dude on tinder.
Islam never forbid a woman to talk to a man who wasn't her husband stop tripping. If you want to talk about a religion, get valuable knownledge on it or keep your peace.@@eduardtarniceriu102
I was flippin bricks for Mansa Musa before y’all even became a type 1 civilization
Came here for this, not disappointed.
@@felixthompson7640 this shit ain’t nothing to me man
Killing millions of his slaves...you'd have been one ...more than likely
Please do Che Guevara
Didn’t he take over the Songhai Empire?
No the Songhai state is what took over Mali territory.
Who produces these episodes
His gold distribution is called zakat which is an inevitable task for every wealthy muslims❤❤❤ we are pround of the great mansa musa

Amen & Amen: Civilization started from Egypt of black Africans - Invaders cannot hide history🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️
Kemet referred to the rich soil along the Nile. Egypt invaded all it's neighbors and colonized them. But you are talking about the Nile actually being the Mississippi and the Fertile Crescent being the Gulf of Mexico?
@@NONANTI the delta being the the beginning but the river flows south to north
is this fine to show middle schoolers?
It is against public school curriculum
Trust me, I know.. I I tried. At least in three states
Ships, don’t ships have an engine? Surley he meant boats
Ship is the size reference to the "boat" you are referring to
@@johnjohnson8364 a boat is a boat a ship is a ship, “reference to size”Oh please, you have sailing boats like the man of war but it was still a boat regardless of size. Y’all confusing yourselves. Also let’s face it a lot of them “ships” couldn’t manage the ocean gyres. However saying there’s a lot of hear-say in this story no one seems to know the complete truth.
APDA a Muslim was he, The true Lion King story💯
Almost every images, the people make of him, he keeps getting lighter. Some people have said, he wasn’t black.
He also believed it was his duty to convert the empire to Islam - which in some cases he did by force. However, Musa also continued to allow slavery in his empire and owned thousands of slaves himself, many of them in the mines that produced his wealth. Mansa Musa, as he appears on The Catalan Atlas.
Conclusion- without the backs of African Slaves Mansa Musa could not have built his large wealth..SLAVERY was his Legacy..and unfortunately is the path further African Empires took with them forward.

The Dark Continent
TH-cam wouldn't be the same without you
Mansa Musa may have been the richest man ever, but Ibn Battuta, the legendary traveller and emissary to the King of Morocco, described him as a stingy ruler who starved his own people, a crude unwelcoming host, and Mali as a poor, primitive, dusty and dirty place.
In fact, he was the typical corrupt african ruler who screws his own people to make himself rich.
This is how l know your lying😂😂 mansa musa was not even alive when ibn battuta came to mali it was his brother mansa maghan that was ruling second of all though ibn battuta was critical of mali mainly bcus of its laxed islam he still acknowledged mali as being still a relatively wealthy empire and still acknowledged the advanced scholarship tht took place in oualata and Timbuktu though àfter the death of mansa musa the mali empire was significantly weakened due to the kingdom of gao rebelling. So stop spouting BS
@@BenSmith-hb8oeWtf are you on about?
Mansa Musa reign: 1312-1337
Ibn Battuta: 1304-1377
This is I know you're lying and you don't know what you're talking about.
Musa said all that about Mali?...Lucky he wasn`t white or he would have been called a "Waycist"😆😅😂
Ibn was talking about his vizer not the actual Mansa
The trivial "film" and rap references are a degrading insult to such a king. But, then shows run with agendas.
Musa was behaving like a flashy rapper😂
