Description
Africa in the 13th century lay in ruins due to countless civil wars and the ensuing famine. Amid the hopelessness arose a man who began to rebuild the ravaged diaspora. He instituted a government that was so efficient at managing the country of Mali that soon it was the most progressive nation on the continent.
Not long after, one by one, the neighboring countries began to join the fold, until all of West Africa constituted a single empire. Emperor Mansa Musa had more wealth than every billionaire combined today. This is his story.
