A proposito di questo titolo

Mansa Musa's 1324 hajj to Mecca is legendary for its display of gold in Cairo, but the journey itself — over 4,000 miles across the Sahara and the Middle East — involved many lesser-known stops where diplomacy, trade, and culture intersected. This episode follows Musa's caravan from Niani to Walata, Tuat, Cairo, and beyond, revealing how each stop shaped the empire's legacy. We explore the strategic pause in Tuat, the meeting with the Mamluk Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad, and the return journey that brought back scholars, architects, and books to Timbuktu. Drawing on accounts from Al-Umari and Ibn Khaldun, we separate myth from fact about the pilgrimage's impact on gold prices and Mali's place in the medieval world. Join Lucas and Luna for an episode that travels across the Sahara, uncovering the unseen moments of history's richest pilgrimage.
