    The great Mansa Musa was the most iconic king of the Mali Empire. Considered to be one of the richest men ever, Mansa Musa is not only the right answer to a commonly asked trivia question but also one of the inspirations behind Marvel’s Black Panther. Although the other kings who reigned over Timbuktu may not be known quite as well as Mansa Musa, their lives have also inspired stories we are quite familiar with today.

    This video has so many errors I don’t know where to start…
    1. Morocco did not hold Timbuktu by the Time of the French Invasion; Timbuktu was held by Tidjaniya Caliphate during the French Invasion and the Bambara Empire prior to that
    2. Whilst the Original founders are Tuareg, The largest Ethnic Group is Songhay; Tuaregs were largely assimilated or expelled from the Region or Left to the North under numerous successive kingdoms
    3. NEARLY 100% of your images of Timbuktu or The Djingareyber Mosque is of an entirely different mosque….
    You posted the Great Mosque of Djennè more in a video about Timbuktu than Timbuktu itself…
    4. The 1990 Tuareg Rebellion wasn’t seated at Timbuktu but in Gao; The modern Separatist are seated in Kidal
    Just some of the millions of glaring errors with this video

      To get a baseline understanding of both

    Interesting. I like randomly scrolling over earth on Google earth, and just happened across this. It was very captivating! In the middle of nowhere, sizeable city, and very clearly had some history.

    You had me confused from the beginning. "Sorta like an ancient New York City" .....in that it's nothing like New York City. Then using a reference that made sense "A Mecca" only made the first comparison make less sense.

      @mahdimehdi445 Yes, they were dissatisfied with each other . MOORS WAS FIGHTING MOORS , IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ,
      REMEMBER THE MOORS HAD JURISDICTION OF THE MAGHREB ( Moorish territory) all the way to the Americas ( The ALL MAGHREB) the farthest West !
      From Libya to the Americas was Moorish territory..
      Libya, Algeria, Tuina, Morocco, Senegal, Mali, Mauritania, Niger , North South, and Central America is Moorish territory, under the Moorish Empire !
      Not counting Spain. Portugal, and Southern France! ( The Iberia Peninsula )
      And other territory! The Moors had the largest Empire in the world . 🌎
      You didn't know that the Americas was once connected to Africa ( so-called Africa ) it was one landmass , but it wasn't called Africa, the First True and Divine for the whole continent Amexem
      ( lands of the GODS , land of the Holy people..
      As I've said before, there are many types of Moors . Moorish is a civilization.
      Moor means Lord ( Amazighs, Imazighens) mean [ born of Noble and Royal birth !]
