A proposito di questo titolo

We all know about Mansa Musa's gold, but what about his salt? In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the vital role of salt in the Mali Empire. From the legendary salt mines of Taghaza, where buildings were made of salt blocks, to the Tuareg caravans that transported it across the Sahara, salt was as precious as gold. Lucas explains how Mansa Musa controlled both the gold and salt trades, using salt to buy everything from copper to slaves. He also discusses the harsh realities of life at Taghaza, the political power derived from salt revenues, and the environmental disaster at the salt flat of Fachi. Discover how salt shaped the economy, politics, and daily life in medieval West Africa, and why it was worth its weight in gold.
