The most richest man in history was BLACK

Where is his palace/castle? why is there no evidence of these black kingdoms I hear about? did the evil white man stole every single rock?

And what's mali legacy?

again he did not intend to be that rich
he kept giving away gold to the poor to the point gold prices went down

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mali_Empire

The more amazing part is that he gave so much away that it led his country to literal ruin.

If one wanted, they could use his life as a way of showing charity leads tor ruin.

Musa embarked on a large building program, raising mosques and madrasas in Timbuktu and Gao. Most notably, the ancient center of learning Sankore Madrasah (or University of Sankore) was constructed during his reign.

In Niani, Musa built the Hall of Audience, a building communicating by an interior door to the royal palace. It was "an admirable Monument", surmounted by a dome and adorned with arabesques of striking colours. The wooden window frames of an upper storey were plated with silver foil; those of a lower storey, with gold. Like the Great Mosque, a contemporaneous and grandiose structure in Timbuktu, the Hall was built of cut stone.

During this period, there was an advanced level of urban living in the major centers of the Mali. Sergio Domian, an Italian scholar of art and architecture, wrote of this period: "Thus was laid the foundation of an urban civilization. At the height of its power, Mali had at least 400 cities, and the interior of the Niger Delta was very densely populated."[26]

Did one of those dna thingys and apparently I have ancestry from Mali.

Well, for one, the gold that Mansa gave away is considered one of the things that kick started the renaissance. As for the legacy in Africa, it is massive.

With this being the most notable.
>inb4 but that's not the original!!
Mali empire fell to ruins shortly after Mansa's death, so stuff like keeping that in shape was not seen as important.

So nothing thanks

Care to show photos of them?

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
MUD HUTS?

My ancestor :)

>still in denial

In denial of what? those are fucking mudhuts

Great monuments made of sandstone. In a time where Europe was mostly populated by slums it's remarkable for its time and even now. And you still cannot deny the wealth.

Why do african americans larp as egyptians when was Mali empire in west africa where they're from

great mudhuts built centuries after rome

Mali Empire had slaves who later became African Americans. My guess is they're still salty about that.

I'm from Nigeria, but close enough :)

very big mud huts
meanwhile in Egypt thousands of years before they built Luxor and the Pyramids

Wh*Te people and african americans don't know much about african history. Take this frenchie for example

Notre Dame and Winchester Cathedral were built when peasants lived in slums too. Just because you have great monuments doesn't mean that wealth is shared by the majority of the population.

It actually is mud, but that doesn't take away from anything, unless your some retard.
It was the best building material they had, and it created some amazing pieces of architecture, here's one from Niger

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudano-Sahelian_architecture

You realize that there is a thing called logistics? And that it was not suitable for African kingdoms to import millions of tons of brick, stone, etc. through the Sahara desert just to impress some retarded frog 800 years in the future.

No, sadly Mali Empire isn't covered in US school systems, or only briefly. But Egypt gets a lot of coverage. And it's monuments are painted as being the greatest in African history.

You'd be hard pressed to find many AA's who even know Mali exists.

I'm Puerto Rican and most of us really only know about the Yoruba and Kongo cus their religions survived the passage as Santeria, Palo, and Espiritismo.

at the time Europe was building stuff like this

Hello insecure black man

Now this is some high-tier WeWuzing if ever seen one.

>No, sadly Mali Empire isn't covered in US school systems, or only briefly
That's sad. Even in Europe, well Finland at least. There's not much about african history at high school. You have to take a separate class and still it's just scratching the surface

Why are you persisting? It's embarrassing.

Nice sand castles

where did Egypt get its stone from?
where did the Arabs in North Africa?

Why are you some invested in the culture of literal mudhut builders?

Those sandcastles have been standing for 800 years. Quite impressive if you ask me

because Africa is pointless
you should learn more Asian history

Egypt had stone quarries, still do actually. It's not entirely desert. The same cannot be said for subsaharan africa where it's largely clay and sand.

Could he buy a private jet plane?

Why are so many people interest in vikings? Other than ship building they weren't much

Solomon wasn't black

>800 years
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Mosque_of_Djenné
>Completed 1907

wasnt he some islamist slave-trader

Here it's mostly about just Chinese history

It contributed nothing to humanity except some mud architecture.

Are you comparing a people who made ships that could make a transcontinental trip in the stormy northern sea waters and were master metalcrafter to some niggers who made mud buildings and who's only achivement is finding gold that literally could be picked from the ground? why even bring vikings out of the blue anyway that smells like a strawman you insecure immigrant fuck

And now he's dead and his descendants didn't inherit his wealth, look at Rotshilds, Rokfellers they are superhumans

Other civilizations had far superior structures from the same time, or earlier. And there has been nothing else of note, outside of north africa, constructed since. It's like a child made a cute scribble, and you're putting it on the fridge to make them feel good.

so rich he couldn't even afford a pic of himself. XD

>Now this is some high-tier WeWuzing if ever seen one.

>Incidentally, a great deal of king Musa’s gold ended up in Italian merchants hands, where it helped finance the early Italian Renaissance.
felixonline.co.uk/articles/2011-10-20-the-economy-in-history/

>During his famous pilgrimage to Mecca, the pious Musa donated his money freely to the poor, and reportedly built mosques every Friday wherever he went. In fact, he spent and gave away so much gold that he reportedly (and inadvertently) triggered economic inflation in the region. This is the only instance in recorded history that one man directly controlled the price of gold in the region. His gold even indirectly financed the Italian Renaissance.
romneymanassa.wordpress.com/2013/06/14/mansa-musa-historys-richest-person/

It's hard to find proper sources for this, but many other sources tie Mansa Musa with the renaissance, but don't directly equate him as a contributor.

But following basic logic it can be assumed that at least some of his wealth ended in the hands of Italians, as he spent a hell of a lot in major trading areas in Egypt, where Italians would've been as well.

My grammar is bad because my keyboard isn't the best. And this isn't some formal website.

There are stone quarries in N. Africa. But the Sahara is a different climate, geography, everything.

As I stated in a previous post, the mosque fell into ruins because of the lack of upkeep resulting from the fall of the Mali Kingdom. Any building left to this fate will fall. Take the Colosseum for example.

the oldest structures here are mostly Hindu/Khmer Buddhist

Slaves in the region were a whole lot better treated than abroad. They were frequently freed and had basic rights. Not to mention everyone traded slaves back in the day.

this is older than those mudhuts
but remember whitey was living in cavez when we was kangz

isn't this new St Peters and not the original old Roman one?

>Buildings made of mud and shit in desperate need of renewal in every several years
Wow, so this is the legendary African power I've heard so much in this thread

Because at that time he was going for Haj therefore he was practicing Sadaqah (charity). But I doubt that he did charity like this on other times.

Once again the architecture was the result of the available materials. The architecture was the greatest of its kind and Mali's main draw was its wealth. For better architecture there are other kingdoms like Ghana.

What happened to them? Why are they just infested with jungle these days. Why were they abandoned
In europe the historical buildings are still inside cities

unironically i think these sandcastles you guys are posting might be underrated, laughable at first glance but this area has a hot fucking climate so this material could be some cooling stuff (i have no ideatbh) and whats bad about building with local material, they probably treated it good

Why aren't you laughing about wooden houses in northern europe? Everything was wood here

they are mostly packed with visitors now or locked off in protected Areas
Vietnam is very protective of its old buildings, so much so that it becomes a major issue for development since no one will want to tear down some old colonial villa or whatever.

the hindus were kicked out a long time ago, now some of these temples have been converted into Buddhist ones and are still in use.

Mali and Gao hated each other :)

lmao look at these log cabins

Because no one is calling medieval northern europe rich and because they had acomplishments like discovering america,iceland and greenland

I believe King Solomon and Qaroon were richer than him.

what about the Nizam of Hyderabad?

Slavs and finns weren't vikings. Never achieved anything. Finns didn't even learn how to write until 13th century

no such thing as a king solomon you stupid desert ape

Dank. I want to grow weed on top of one of those cabins and play Morrowind and obscure JRPGs

He was the richest man in the world during his time but he wasn't the richest man in history.

scarcely populated,covered in forest. extreme climate
compare them with jungle pigmeys if you want to be fair

its hard to quantify wealth especially when certain societies didn't measure it as we do today.
I imagine various Chinese emperors were far more "wealthy" considering the vast amounts of power they enjoined over the wealth and output of their state.
I mean Kublai Khan was so wealthy it completely blew the mind of Marco Polo when he visited, yet he must have seen all the wealth of the Muslim empires in west Asia and Africa prior to this

>muh historical accounts, archaeology, consensus histrocity

It's unlikely that he was a powerful or wealthy King and was more like the head of a small tribal city-state but I have never seen anyone argue that he didn't exist at all.

You're welcome to go back to nigeria

And look what they amounted to. Northern Europeans controlled nearly the entirety of Africa

Historical consensus mean nothing when it comes to religion
For example there is no even the slightest evidence jesus existed yet the consensus says he did because most historians are religious

I might be black, but I'm not stupid. I have a Finnish citizenship I'm here to stay

Every day i wish the colonists had just genocided the whole entire continent of africa and middle east

Whose wealth is it really if those northerners can steal it at will from the black sea to Canada and from the Arctic to the Mediterranean.

Sure thing my Estonian friend, now go clean my toilet

Solomon isn't Jesus though, there is historical evidence for Kings David and Solomon independent of religious texts.

I really doubt youre black. More likely you're a larper

I don't take anything relating semites seriously they should had lied less if they wanted their histories to be believed

I've worked for SOL. It's a company that "rents" workforce for cleaning etc. Us Nigerians want to work, we're not somalis or anything.
I've had many Estonian co-workers
