A proposito di questo titolo

In 1324, a caravan of staggering size crossed the Sahara. At its head was Mansa Musa, ruler of the Mali Empire, carrying so much gold that his pilgrimage to Mecca crashed the economies of Cairo and Medina. This episode introduces the man behind the legend—his throne, his empire, and the wealth that historians still struggle to quantify. We explore how Mali grew fat on the gold and salt trades, and how Musa's display of generosity and piety reshaped the Islamic world's view of West Africa. Expect specific numbers (from camel loads to years of inflation), the geography of medieval Mali, and a teaser for future episodes on his library at Timbuktu and the architects he brought home. No hyperbole—just the stunning facts of a reign that made one man richer than any European king or modern billionaire could dream.
