Mali would soon encompass over 400 cities

He built a new mosque every Sunday in order to pray while on his hajj

Timbuktu has a mosque thats called "Built by White People". He's probably whatever they called Arab/Black hapas

You call them black. Most black Muslims have some Arab admixture.

hmm. we always add to black. Whites get subtracted from.

He's not the sudanic region was called that Because they were black

Any evidence that the mansa was not fully black ever Arab who visited Mali Said they were black

The mosque was built by local architects who were hired by the French

imagine instead of frivolously spending the fortune of an entire nation like that he had actually used it to invest in his kingdom and build a base for the future so that when the gold ran out and the trade routes shifted the entire thing didn't collapse on itself like a house of cards

Djenne not the only mosque in the region there's Sankore established in 989 ce one of the oldest Universities in the world
