About this audiobook

How did Mansa Musa’s royal lineage contribute to the wealth and power of the Mali Empire? This book investigates the lineage of Mansa Musa, one of the wealthiest individuals in history and the ruler of the Mali Empire in the 14th century. It explores his royal family’s role in Mali’s rise to prominence, particularly through its control of gold and salt trade routes. The narrative delves into Mansa Musa’s famous pilgrimage to Mecca, his contributions to the development of education and architecture in Timbuktu, and the lasting impact of his wealth on global trade. By tracing his ancestry and examining the Mali Empire’s cultural and economic achievements, the book reveals how Mansa Musa’s lineage played a pivotal role in shaping West African history.
