@historywemissed: What if the richest person in human history inadvertently set off the destruction of his own continent’s independence? 🤔 Before Europe became an imperial powerhouse, it was struggling with severe gold shortages and religious conflicts. Meanwhile, the Mali Empire was sitting on the world’s primary supply of pure gold—and Timbuktu was an international center of learning long before Western universities took off. Mansa Musa’s 1324 pilgrimage changed global trade forever, but the unintended consequences altered history in ways no one expected. Drop a comment below with your thoughts—did you learn about the Mali Empire in school? #HistoryWeMissed #MansaMusa #DaydreamingHistorian #MedievalHistory #learnhistoryontiktok
