Mansa Musa Of Mali Named World's Richest Man Of All Time

This is exactly why the West scrambles so hard to get control of Africa. It's the only continent that can be self-sustained without any imports. If the African controlled his own assets he'd be the most powerful man in the world...again.

Repped.

Of course I've heard on Mansa Musa. I played Civilization IV.

Damn shame what other civilizations did to Africa though.
What was his special ability? 10x gold output?
He'd get more money out of regular plots of land. Making me want to play the game now

 true unfortunately
 
Dude was Muslim too.

This must piss off a lot of racist folks out there--A rich black muslim :lol:

That would require said racist folks to actually know who the hell the guy is. I'm gonna take a wild guess that his name doesn't come up much in conversation among the racist crowd.
 
that rothschild wealth is frightning

like srs im a little scared 

with all dat power especially in media 

they low key rule the world b :lol:  :nerd:  :x

Word, they literally control what happens in the world. If I think about it I start feeling sick.

You dudes really didn't learn about Mansa Musa in school?

I thought we already knew this for years now?

Plus Mansa Musa is depicted way more blacker than that.
 
A lot of black folks and muslim people find pride in this dude

And I'm sure there's a reason why.

But I don't know it.

I mean the Saudi royal family and Sheikhs right now are wealthy as F too because they just so happened to be sitting on a fortune of in demand natural resources. Doesn't mean I look at them as if they're something great.

This dude happened to be sitting on all of this and couldn't find a way to sustain any of it.

I still find him and the story intriguing and also think it's absurd he's never mentioned in all the years that 99% of us learn history in school.
Wait what do you mean he couldn't sustain any of it? Son was the ruler of an empire during the 14th century. Wars running rampant in that part of Africa. Son died rich. What you expect his heirs would be able to maintain that wealth without a real advantage.

Being born in to money don't make you smart. Your army winning you more land don't make you that smart either.

Aint like son was out there making it rain and squandered the entire empire's wealth on his own :lol:

They barely teach you about Black Americans in school, they damn sure ain't teaching you about Mansa Musa.

White supremacy and the slave trade happened. He greeted the foreigners with lavish gifts of gold and they in turn came back attempted to genocide everyone for the resources before realizing it's more profitable to enslave everyone and just steal the land with the natural resources.
Land these corporations still hold to this day, looking at you debeers diamond co. Etc.

Only problem is back the lifen expectancy was like 20 years.

If life expectancy was as long then as it is today, I'd trade it EASY.

Would you get sent back in time permanently with his wealth or live your life how it is now?


I mean only if I get sent back with amnesia of how I'm living now. I like the internet and new technology too much.
This. No Internet :x :x No thanks

I'm watching MNF and on NT right now. What would I be doing at 8 pm back then? Money or not. Probably asleep. That is if I had knowledge of what the world is like now. I couldn't even make it in the 70s if I knew what the world was like now

It you went back in time with total knowledge of what technology is now you think you would be able to deal? I would snap in months if not weeks.
