Im just glad he was selfless and not selfish, unlike other billionaires today. (All of you saying how he had slaves, not only did he not overwork them, he donated a ton to the poor people)
-
African History is heavily underrated.

The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the US dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside 650k to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.

As a West African, his life and reign were part of our history curriculum in primary school, alongside the likes of Ousman Dan Fodio, Sunni Ali, Askia The Great etc.
-
The richest man ever existed in the world and the guy didn't go to the history books as conqueror or tyrant. Of course he may not be perfect, but his name never mentioned with any battle, carnage or something like that. Instead he's known for amazing donations, making trade centers and building educational centers for the people. Respect.

"Many of you haven't heard of Mansa Musa" Me: Laughs in Civilization 6

This history of Mansa Musa is truly amazing, and shows how rich and deep Africa's history and resources are. I''d never heard/read of him before, but now will study in depth. Thanks man โฎ

A lot of the millionaires are heirs. Real selfmade millionaires are investors . And there is nothing like luck but taking risk and timing included. And you need a some education. To become a millionaire by yourself should not be a goal (depends on country) because its just out of reach. Investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity, I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too ๐๐๐

I like that youโre keeping parts of history alive that are rarely spoken on. We need more like this๐ฏ
-
Thank you for showing this, African history is often ignored by the world.
-
Iโm 62 years young and black and my roots extend to this part of Africa were Mansa was from. This is so amazing. I never knew this. Thank you so much for this informative video. Totally enjoyed. Thank you.

Now, I'm gonna go start binge watching your videos. Cherio!

There's a UFC fighter whose nickname is 'New Mansa'... It's basically how I learned about Mansa Musa
-
I'm interested in this voyage across the Atlantic.
-
Thank so much for sharing the information about one of the most influential men that had ever lived. I became fascinated by Mansa Musa many years ago while I was doing some research. So much of the history of Africa has been buried or dismissed except for the Egyptians, which for some reason some folks don't consider African. We won't go there. Anyway thanks again. I love the images that you used it reminded me of the posters that I used in my classroom. ๐๐ฏโค๐ค๐๐๐ฒ

Salt was a huge commodity back in the day. The word salary has origins in the Latin word for salt โSalโ.

Your enthusiasm really carried this lesson home. I loved every second of it.

I wish learning was like this in school when I was growing up. This video is informative, entertaining and funny!
