      he wasnt actually that rich, as the value of gold is based on its demand and scarcity, though. Guy happens to have a ton of gold, pisses his wealth away to show everyone how much money he has, doesnt develop an economic plan, people still live in utter poverty by the time his reign ends. What a joke.

    To be fair, he did not cause inflation intentionally.
    And when he found out about what his frivolous philanthropy had caused, he borrowed very high loans from the Egytians at 100% intetest rate, and paid it back immediately.
    This makes Mansa Musa the only person to have both caused a gold crash through hyperinflation, and then bailed out those affected.

      African history indeed interesting. But it's not that many.
      Why? Because the region so arid. It's so arid even some religions also talk about that. Only like.. The middle part of Africa that green. Tropical Africa region.
      Edit: why i bring "religions"?? That means, even thousands of years ago, people already know that many parts of Africa are not that great. But it's interesting though even though only few Megastructures or stuff like that.
      Like.. the mystery of the Zimbabwe stone thing that i forgot the name of that site.

      Sub-Saharan Africa isn't synonymous with the term "African," and it's important to move away from using outdated terms that only reflect a narrow perspective.
      Simply labeling people by their country or region is insufficient.
      We're witnessing a shift where we recognize the complexities of identities. For instance, when Arab settlers come into Africa and appropriate land, renaming it the Middle East, it perpetuates a history of erasure and colonization.

And there is a big focus already about it, because Carthage was one of the biggest enemies of the Roman Empire so one of the biggest Empire of its time actually. And Egypt well ofc one of the most important early empires in the world
      Nothing compared to the nowadays Arabian Egypt
      The best things people could be proud of or develop on it, got destroyed from other nations especially after Arabia conquered North Africa. Even tho Rome destroyed big parts of Carthage, they still saved and rebuilt or created and brought new things there.

      Yeah buddy because let's ignore all the archaeological evidence of sophisticated kingdoms, bustling trade routes, intricate art, and nice palaces and temples. Forget the Great Zimbabwe, the Askum Kingdom, or the ancient libraries of Timbuktu. Nah, it was all about finding a magic stick! Because, clearly, all those ancient manuscripts, gold-laden caravans, and architectural marvels? They were just a side hustle. The real wealth was in stick collecting. I mean, why else would the Nubians build pyramids, right? To store their sticks! Your comment is like saying European history is just 'white man finds fork, now he’s king of Europe.'

    This wasn't African history this was just mali history be like.
    Do the other regions aswell like East/North/Central/South Africa.
    Eg Do African horner history and make it about the conquest of abyssniya. Christian ethiopian empire with its Portuguese allies vs Muslim adal sultanate with there ottoman allies. A lot of Chad kings and sultans dying in a 20+ year war with both collapsing due to the oromo invasion into both adal and ethiopia while the Chad ajuraan empire just watches the whole thing from the side line and repeling the oromo invasion and beating the Portuguese empire in naval warfare.

    Emu Chief Crawkwakalak Birdusigmas expands deeply with his flock all over Australia
    More food is found and less completion
    The flock enters into a golden age
    His chick Bloofers Buffoonegs comes into power
    Flock looses 75% of its birds from drought and general incompetence
    Mating season arrives
    All birds fight over the mates
    A few thousand years later….
    Humans arrive on Emu’s land
    The descendant of Crawkwakalak Birdusigmas Gigachadus Emucius launches raids against Humans
    The leader of Australia Burginswine Poopindee launches full military intervention against the birds
    Emu’s resist and continue to wreck havoc on farms and pastures killing farmers and livestock
    The Australian government begins to use barbed wire
    Emu populations drop slowly
    Emu’s discover Guns from weird lookin British people that actually look nice
    War truly escalated
    Result army victory, 500,000 Military and civilian personnel dead on both side.
    Emu’s stop raiding

      This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
      Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
      Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

    - He reconquers lands lost during the reigns of Virginiatus and Coomos
    - Starts a golden age in his Empire
    - Invests in the construction of buildings which will go on to define the Empire
    - Dies
    - His son Okinatus takes over. He is alright.
    - Mainly keeps the status quo and tries to rule over the Empire his father made
    - Gets assassinated by aristocrats who dislike him
    - Virginiatus II takes the throne
    - Disbands most of the military and wastes the Empire’s money on parties and other frivolous things
    - Doesn’t care about ruling, just wants to have a good time
    - Muslims invade from the east, taking half of the empire
    - The Empire is on it’s last legs

      Slavery was not the same as we know it today in most of Africa. It was a sweet gig and left you with wealth and options, most times a trade. Kings and royalty were sometimes even considered slaves and enjoyed luxury but could not leave their office, ever. The slavery we know about was not that prevalent or considered honorable. In other areas of the world we know exactly what slavery was about. You gotta look this stuff up, instead of asking the same queries other's ask, without studying.

The Malian Empire lasted shorter and relied more on coalitions of clans and tribes, but this was literally no different than the system of government Rome had installed in Gaul, Hispania, etc with the center ruling as a city-state, or if you want to get even deeper, no different than the rule of Rome itself during the early Republic. Both entities also relied on slavery, salt, gold, etc.
