The Wealth, Power, and Hidden Stories of Medieval Africa
Did you know that an African king was so wealthy, his generosity single-handedly crashed an entire country's economy?
In the 14th century, Mansa Musa of Mali embarked on a pilgrimage to Mecca with an entourage of thousands and camels laden with so much gold that his gifts to Cairo caused a decade-long economic crisis. His own treasury, however, remained full. His incredible story is just one example of a medieval Africa that was just as ambitious, innovative, and powerful as any other continent.
This book reveals a truth that has too often been overlooked: Africa was home to sophisticated empires, powerful rulers, and legendary cities of gold and scholarship. Inside, you'll uncover the rich history and untold tales of a continent shaping its own destiny.
This is not the Africa you learned about in school. This is a continent of ingenious trade, forgotten leaders, and mythic legacies.
In this book, you will discover:
From Mali's legendary wealth to Timbuktu's scholarly legacy, this book uncovers the forgotten riches, rulers, and legends of medieval Africa.
