@naciimo0605: Mansa Abu Bakari II was a king of the Mali Empire in West Africa in the 14th century, around 1311. He was interested in exploring the oceans, especially the Atlantic Ocean. According to historical accounts, he sent a large fleet of ships across the Atlantic Ocean to discover what lay beyond it. When the first expedition failed to return, he reportedly led a second expedition himself with thousands of ships, leaving the throne to Mansa Musa. He never returned. Some historians and researchers suggest that he may have reached the Americas around 1311, approximately 181 years before Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. However, there is no conclusive historical or archaeological evidence proving that Mansa Abu Bakari II reached America before Christopher Columbus. #maliempire #africa

It’s still fascinating to think about whether that fleet actually did land, if only it returned

They likely reached modern day haiti or dominician republic i remember hearing somewhere because of a language similarity in some words regarding gold and metal. In native languages

there is zero evidence that this story ever actually happened, it exists to legitimize and explain how mansa musa came to power
