A proposito di questo titolo

While Mansa Musa's pilgrimage and Sundiata's conquests dominate the story of Mali, this episode turns to the architecture of empire. Lucas and Luna explore the Great Mosque of Djenné, the largest mud-brick building in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site. They uncover its origins in the 13th century under the Mali Empire, its symbolic role in spreading Islam, and its unique construction—every year, the entire community replasters the mosque in a festival called the Crepissage. The conversation also touches on the legendary golden age of Timbuktu's Sankore University, the role of the Qadi (judge), and the little-known story of the mosque's reconstruction in 1907 under French colonial rule. How did mud and faith shape an empire? And what does the mosque tell us about Mali's enduring legacy? This episode offers a fresh lens on the Mali Empire—not through gold or war, but through the very walls that held its spirit.
