The Bizarre Life Of History's Richest Man: Mansa Musa
Рет қаралды 423,144
Күн бұрынBack in the fourteenth century, Mansa Musa was the ruler of a West African Empire and was said to be worth more than double that: around 400 billion dollars by today’s money, accounting for inflation.
Such wealth is often hard to imagine, so for context, this figure is the same as the national gross domestic product of Norway. Musa was so wealthy that his lavish gifting crashed a regional gold market for a decade, and quite literally put him and his empire on the map.
Much of Musa’s early life are lost to history, but what we do know is that he was born around 1280 AD in or around the Mali Empire, and ascended the throne around 1312. Lets find out more about how his bizarre life as history's richest man!

@@DirkGil and any others? The academic consensus is that there were many factors that led the Portuguese explorators south, including a search for Prester John and ethiopia, the markets of the Indian ocean and the wish to open a second war front against the ottomans.

@@thelaziestguyuveverknown First off, a clarification: most important, definitely not only motivation for sailing around West Africa. I can't pretend to be better sourced than an accomplished writer like Howard French. The Western academic consensus is indeed such, but there is well documented bias in how histories are written. Howard French researched often-hidden parts of (pre-)modern history that illuminate the role of African entities (states, empires, etc.). It shows how it is not about gold in a possible land, rather a very certain land (as much of the gold in Europe came from West Africa through North African traders). And how even West Africa was often referred to as "India", it being a fairly vague term for a land far away. Anyways, he goes to explain how court documents from Portugal indicate much more interest in West African gold than Indian spice markets, Prester John & Ethiopia or even the first trip around Cape Good Hope by Bartolomeu Dias. I'd be interested to read up on the Western and other academic communities reactions to his book to dig in deeper, though.

@@pablo_fre5hcobar - You clearly don't understand so I will try again. No one denies African contributions to the world, fact. I differentiate Egypt from sub Sahran Africa because although the two are connected geographically in as much as they are both a part of the same continent or land mass they are also separated by the barrier of the desserts of North Africa and they are also separated culturally. Egypt is still a part of Africa geographically but it is different from the rest of Africa. Egypt was a part of Meditaranian culture and the culture of the fertile cresent, the cradle of humanity. Those cultures were totally different from sub Saharan cultures. Most of the contributions to the world came from Egypt and the fertile cresent which was populated by the Indo/Europeans, most of the contributions that came from sub Saharan Africa came because outside invaders and conquerers and settlers such as the Arab Muslims and the Europeans created those contributions or taught the black Africans how to do the same. Without outside influences most of Africa would still be living in the stone age or early iron age as some of them still are to this day.

For example when God will be angry on judgment day, then it is not an anger that me and you feel it is something beyond of our comprehension. Allah SEES and HEARS everything, but that doesnt mean with literall eyes and ears (Astaghfirullah). No human being can ever comprehend the beauty and majesty of God. Allah is not a human being, nor anything we could ever imagine. All praise to Him. "Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives [all] vision; and He is the Subtle, the Acquainted." Chapter 103 Verse 6:103 in the Quran.

You are absolutely correct Love Love. King Solomon’s net worth in today’s money would have accord him the richest and wisest than anyone in the world. In those days they consulted him, to hear the wisdom that God had given him. Each of them brought Solomon gifts articles of silver and gold, robes, weapons, spices, horses, and mules. This continued year after year. According to historians, King Solomon’s net worth in today’s money with amount of gold and silver in store would have rated his wealth amounting to more than $2.3 trillion.

The sad part about it when I last when back home (Mali) I was saddened to this day of all the resources we still have including gold and yet with corruption, my country suffers big now with poverty. These westerners are still pulling more than 500 tons of gold per week and we barely see any profits of it

As a Malian all problems aren’t because of the Europeans if you want to ask the eldest, most of them will say that some people don’t have discipline of work or if they don’t want to work. They can rely on someone else to gain money like members of family neighbours . You can’t take an example of Senegal that is more develops than us and t they are good workers with good disciplinary habits .

Just as ridiculous as it would be seeing a cartoon character of Julius Caesar projected (even as a cartoon character) with a little afro and semi-dark skin equally ridiculous it is seeing ( YES even in a small clip ) of the Great Mansa Musa with a bang of long hair over one side of his face and with light skin! Ps when there's proof of someone's image it should be respected all the way down to the smallest and simplest detail.!

@@Goddess_Infinity this is a huge cope, first in all economic systems we have people being mistreated or inslaved under them, im talking here about people not systems, second do not compare the so called "modern slavery" to anceint slavery, ancient slaves were usully groomed to slavery since a young age and are considered to private property of their masters, nothing justifies the material ownership of a human being, even if you treat him well, now claiming that there was no abuses is called being naive, slave owners always tend to give their slaves a lot of heavy tasks and abuse them when they can't or don't want to obey their orders, this is usully what happens but regardless, slavery is unjustified and glorifying a man who was known for anything but him owning a large amount of slaves is just crazy, there are better figures in african history than this man
