Mansa Musa: The Richest Man in Human History

MANSA MUSA: THE RICHEST MAN IN HUMAN HISTORY An Originex Human Archives Publication Truth. Time. Humanity. THE TRUE STORY OF THE EMPEROR WHO CRASHED GOLD MARKETS AND BUILT AN EMPIRE In 1324, a West African emperor embarked on a pilgrimage to Mecca with a caravan so vast, so laden with gold, that it destabilized economies across three continents. His name was Mansa Musa, and his wealth was so incomprehensible that modern estimates place him as the richest human being who ever lived. But Mansa Musa was far more than wealth. He was a strategic ruler, a patron of learning, and the architect of one of history's greatest empires. Through primary sources, archaeological evidence, and indigenous African scholarship, this Originex volume reveals the full story of the Mali Empire at its zenith. This is not legend. This is documented history.
