One Medieval African City Richer Than European Capitals – Timbuktu Mansa Musa

The medieval African city that was richer than London, Paris, or Rome. When Europe struggled through the Dark Ages, Timbuktu flourished with 100,000+ residents, universities teaching 25,000 students, and libraries holding hundreds of thousands of manuscripts. Mansa Musa, possibly history's wealthiest person, transformed this desert outpost into a center of learning, commerce, and culture.
