Mansa Musa - History’s Richest Man Documentary 

I agree 100%

What

The movie must be 1000% factual not no made up bs

You already know these people don’t want to shed light on any truth that effects their narrative they’d rather make blk little mermaids

There's a reason not even africans like to talk about him. Mansa Musa built his wealth on slave trade with the arabs. He literally ordered the kidnaping of millions of human beings and sold them into slavery, 30% of them died while crossing the desert, not to mention the hundreds of thousands he slaughtered in the raids for slaves. Some travellers described the path littered with human bones in the slave trade routes through the desert connecting to Timbuktu. He was his people's worst enemy, corrupted by arab slaverers.

Both are useful. Truth should be our focus moving forward

​@@truthismycause2800I have no idea what you are talking about. Slavery of that day would not be considered the same as chattle slavery in the americas. They were more like indentured servants or converted enemies.not the same. Alot of our American presidents were slave owners. Julius Ceaser owned slaves as did many Roman emperors. I claim Mansa Musa his predecessor also,who did make it to the America's by the way. There is documented evidence.

​@@MoneyB-r2yoh really?. So cutting off the balls of men is not bad? Raping women? Stop with your bullshit.

​@truthismycause2800 , you made a claim that is likely dubious because you have made no citations. Should we accept your rant just because you ranted?

How ?

Gotta bring race into everything

one of the greatest leaders in history, period!

@@MagicMane-dn5hp putting period at the end of a sentence.. don’t make your statement true… He is not one of the greatest African leader..

I have also been waiting for this one.

Religion never destroyed African nations, there was nothing to destroy...90% of our people hadn't invented written language....AND, there were NO nation states, only tribal states...the reason for our primitive lifestyle was because we were closed off! There was no exchange of knowledge and technology from the wider world! The West and Far-East were at an advantage because they were all connected through a network of connected roads built by the Roman empire, this way the invention of gun powder in China was able to spread vastly all the way to England....This is how development and progress is made. Africa's progress came via colonialism when Europeans imported their way of life to us, centralized governments, putting an end to tribal warring and female circumcission, polygamy, ETC, ETC these horrible practices were done away with via the introduction of Christianity. Btw, we hadn't even invented the wheel in Africa. We joined the rest of the world via colonialism, just like The West did under the Roman colonialists!! It's not a shame, the England and Germania were all barbaric and primitive until Rome civilized them.

Have you ever heard about Prester John?

@@block33music19 - not that I can recall.

@@mrmikemrmike You should. He is a contemporary of Mose/Musa (who was said to be the richest man alive and a descendant of or an ancestor to King David of the bible). Prester John, the king of Abyssinia.

@@block33music19 - yeah - I've heard Prester John, the king of Abyssinia. Forgot. Well when they find historical artifacts or a body ... let me know.

Well... When you read ancient texts, remember the root word of black is blac which means white. Source: Dane Calloway

@@NONANTIlol stop trying to whitewash history 😂😂 manes was WHITE

They already have! You have a Eurocentric RU-vidr called Robert Sepehr who has claimed him as well as Kush and Ethiopia were white 😂

​@NONANTI ancient texts weren't written in English and therefore these people weren't likely to be referred to as black. And even colonizers didn't initially refer to them as black. Based on the time period that black people started to be widely referred to as such, I'd say I highly doubt us being labeled as black has anything to do with the words origin or ancient texts. Yall gives white Americans way too much credit, the settlers, their descendants and other European groups who immigrated here, weren't these world traveled, cultured scholars. They really didn't know anything.

Ain't that the truth. 😊

You mean Bill Gates’ puppet? The one selling Nigeria to Bill Gate little by little. This is what my Nigerian friend told me

Jealousy and the reason for racism!!

Because western history can be backed up by archaeology, while african history can not.And because of this alot of black people like to claim outlandish ideas like how they were the first Israelites or now like this video claiming africans were the first to discover america lol.

Lol you read history

Sounds interesting, I have never heard of him

Based on kingdom of heaven?

Singapore and Philippines used to be a Muslim countries read the history of your ancestors

The strong 💪 blk man MANSA. Made Emperors & Queens look like children in the game of wealth😢❤

Wonderful Historical truth of 'A Blk 🤴 👑 KING of all KINGS:😊😮❤🎉

In the world

Actually, by the telling, the boats *_W E R E,_* *strong enough,* to sailed, from West Africa to the Amazon River. *T H E N* sailed back to West Africa. As a wealthy nation, that traded with Muslim nations, the Malian Navigators would have had: *_astrolabe, astrolorlabic quadrant, cestrial sphere, compass_* and *THEY* knew *_h o w_* to used them. *T H E Y,* *_knew_* the world *_is_* *ROUND!* *THEY* knew, *THEY* weren't, anywhere near India!

​@@shealstewart5381What are you talking about? People already knew the Earth was round well over a thousand years before Mansa Musa lived. So I have no idea why you find it so incredible that an African nation would know. Same with the Astrolabe. It's not surprising at all. Unless you doubt their intellect or think they somehow would not have known until over a thousand years later? 🤦 I just don't understand what it is you are trying to say. You're surprised that a wealthy African nation would have known how to use those items and known that the Earth was round, 1500 years after others had confirmed the shape of the Earth and over 1000 years after the astrolabe was in use? It surprised you that a wealthy African nation was capable of that? That really doesn't come off sounding good.... Edit: spelling

Zero evidence besides the words of a man.🤣

because Europeans learned to use the little riches they had to create the world you live in, while the monkeys never managed to find out what to do with all the resources they had

Guns, germs and steel determined wealth in the modern world, not gold or jewels.

Because the corruption and incompetence of its governments don't allow for their societies to develop their wealth.

The first "Indians" that Europeans encountered along the East coast of the "Americas" were black.

@@NONANTI no they weren't.. the explorers kept pretty detailed notes and no mentions that. Black people wouldn't be in the Americas until the Transatlantic slave trade started. That didn't happen until the Europeans were firmly settled and the native population had started to migrate west (or died).

Xi is richer

where?

@@DoochosI’m guessing flint Michigan?

Same here boss

Believe what ,that the Malians discovered the americas first even though their is zero proof of this.🤣

The Dark Continent

I think so, I think slavery and gold mining was going on in his empire.

Exactly, you are right,, I from west and that’s what I had

😅 we have to paint him bad don't we?

His wealth also came from selling salt in african coastal regions he devised a very smart plan how to transport salt sils by camel caravans and boats

No ....if you read Arabic accounts the gold grew in the land ....he found the philosophers stone .....many kings have had it

Ship is the size reference to the "boat" you are referring to

@@johnjohnson8364 a boat is a boat a ship is a ship, “reference to size”Oh please, you have sailing boats like the man of war but it was still a boat regardless of size. Y’all confusing yourselves. Also let’s face it a lot of them “ships” couldn’t manage the ocean gyres. However saying there’s a lot of hear-say in this story no one seems to know the complete truth.

Yeah, I’ve seen that account before. Very interesting to see what his own people thought of him.

Huh? What about Kanye?

Race can also be a matter of cultural classification

What

It has got a lot to do with him flooding the economies he passed with a seemingly unending supply of gold. He broke the counter measuring wealth wherever he went so it is right he holds the title "the richest ever" If a person decides to spend 22 billion dollar to give ever person in Mali 1000 dollar, what would happen?

That we know of! 😮

KING SOLOMON BEEN DISCOVERED AMERICA I BELIEVE

Africans have visited turtle island many of times in the past my friend. I wish you the best in your voyage of history. A lot of information has been lost and destroyed. Maybe one day we all can access our planets unadulterated history, not just one side.

oke but lets stick to facts. cause at dipoint could be clsimed tbat vikings made it first

😂😂😂

Spira Boats has a good account of the journey from a boat builder's perspective.

They definitely did...according to Christopher Columbus

I believe the found the America's too. It makes no sense for a brother to take the same journey which your brother perished in. Obviously the brother found the America's, sent someone back to secretly tell his brother about his discovery so he can quietly join him in the America's. I'm a Keita myself from The Gambia and these are my ancestors.They discovered the America's and lived here long before Columbus came.

Heard vikings visit the America's long before anybody else

It was lief​@@KINGKOOLAIDALMIGHTY

He had both

🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️

True. Just they have made beautiful movies and series on Shaka Zulu. This would be a good one to watch and learn!
