Africa's Largest Fleet Vanished. Then Its King Did Too. | Mansa Musa

Mansa Musa's predecessor sent 200 ships into the Atlantic Ocean and only one came back. Instead of retreating, the Mali emperor built 2,000 more ships and sailed west himself, leaving a capable administrator named Musa to govern the richest empire on Earth. This is the story of how the Mali Empire's most reckless king vanished into the Atlantic, and how the man he left behind became Mansa Musa, the wealthiest human being who ever lived. The entire account comes from a single historical source: al-Umari's Masalik al-Absar, recorded when Musa arrived in Cairo in 1324 carrying 18 tons of gold. Did a West African emperor really cross the Atlantic 200 years before Columbus? Or did Musa craft the perfect cover story? Whether you're fascinated by African history, medieval empires, or unsolved historical mysteries, this story from the Mali Empire will stay with you long after it ends.

It remains the only known source for the Atlantic expedition. The Canary Current, which flows southwest along the West African coast, lends oceanographic plausibility to the account. ⚔️ KEY FIGURES: • Mansa Musa — The 9th Mansa of the Mali Empire, the richest human being who ever lived • The Predecessor (Abu Bakr II) — The Mali emperor who sailed 2,000 ships into the Atlantic • Al-Umari — The Syrian historian who recorded Musa's account in Cairo • Sundiata Keita — Founder of the Mali Empire and the Keita dynasty ————————————————— 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more untold stories from history:    / @nightfall-history   👍 LIKE if you enjoy African history and medieval empires 💬 COMMENT: Do you think the Mali emperor really sailed the Atlantic, or was it a cover story? ————————————————— #MansaMusa #MaliEmpire #AfricanHistory #MedievalAfrica #AtlanticOcean #RichestManInHistory #AbuBakrII #WestAfrica #CanaryCurrent #PreColumbianContact #AfricanExploration #SundiataKeita #SaharanTrade #HistoricalMystery #DarkHistory
