The Mali Empire: A Historical Overview of West Africa's Influential Power

The Mali Empire, a majestic realm that left an indelible mark on the history of West Africa, stood as a symbol of power and prosperity from around 1226 to 1670. Founded by Sundiata Keita, the empire flourished under the rule of renowned leaders like Mansa Musa (Musa Keita), gaining widespread admiration for the opulence of its rulers and the far-reaching influence of its language, laws, and…

The Kingdom of Kush: A Captivating Guide to an Ancient African Kingdom in Nubia That Once Ruled Egypt

Africa is the continent where the first humans were born. They explored the vast land and produced the first tools. And although we migrated from that continent, we never completely abandoned it. From the beginning of time, humans lived and worked in Africa, leaving evidence of their existence in the sands of the Sahara Desert and the valleys of the great rivers such as the Nile and the Niger.

Some of the topics covered in part one of this book include:

The Kingdom of Kush

The Land of Punt

Albina Mali-Hočevar, born in Vinica on the 25th of September 1925 Albina was a Slovenian resistance fighter who fought for the liberation of Yugoslavia during World War Two (photo c1945)

After Germany invaded Yugoslavia in 1941 Albina joined the people’s liberation movement at just 16, though she was originally chosen to be a nurse Albina fought in multiple battles, she ended up wounded twice when she was 17 and went on to be wounded again three days after her 18th birthday because of a exploding mine. Albina continued fighting and working till the end of the war as a nurse (suspected to have even worked as a flying nurse) and lived until she was 75yrs old.

Some years later she was recognised for her bravery and was awarded the Yugoslavian Order of the partisan star, 3rd class.

Said in accounts of Albina while she worked as a nurse:

"The nurse Alina always paid more attention to the wounded than to herself"

"She knew neither fear nor exhaustion while there were wounded [partisans] to be taken care of”

Today I learned (from a Jacob Geller video, but here's an article, too) that Al Qaida went on a rampage committing arson, destroying ancient scrolls and manuscripts (specifically in Mali). A librarian who was preserving a collection of PRICELESS manuscripts in Timbuktu knew that Al Qaida would be coming to their library sooner or later, so over the course of six months with the help of several volunteers, they would transport around 200,000 books.

(Some of the documents & books in the library didn't make it out/were destroyed around January 2013) In the beginning they drove 600 mile (checkpoint filled) round trip again and again to each house that has volunteered to put their life on the line to save the books.

Eventually, that method became impossible, and he discovered he (and the other volunteers) only have one choice: FLOATING THE REST OF THE BOOKS DOWN THE NIGER RIVER. BOOKS. DOWN A RIVER. Seven Hundred Ninety One (791) TRUNKS/"footlockers" of BOOKS were sent down a river. You want to know how many made it? How many were recovered? ALL SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY ONE TRUNKS WORTH.

These books are literal relics. "Some date back to the 13th Century, and have survived more than 700 years." Bro, you are awesome, but you are going to give me a heart attack. Anyway, this some wild history and the art in these manuscripts is beautiful.

Africa is a continent of more than 50 countries, and home to thousands of languages and cultures. Africans lived in complex societies, from small villages to large bustling cities, that contained universities, mosques, and libraries.

Africa has great civilizations that flourished in Africa included Egypt, Kush, Axum, Mali and Great Zimbabwe.

Africa's history is complex and stretches back through centuries of dynasties. Africa contributed to our knowledge and understanding of ancient writings, languages, agriculture and engineering. Its extensive trade system connected the continent with Asia and India, producing a lively exchange of goods such as grains, metals, and gold.

Black History instruction in K-12 education, 65% of the 401 educators interviewed said that their state does not mandate Black History instruction. Only 12 states require some form of Black history curriculum.

Africans were free before they were enslaved. Enslaved Africans relied on their knowledge and beliefs to survive slavery, and their contributions to U.S. culture, society, and economy are evident in every aspect of American life and enterprise. Agriculture, music, art, and culinary.

M for Modesty and for Mansa Musa I of Mali.

His first pilgrimage caravan to Mecca in 1324 comprised some 60,000 people and an immeasurable amount of gold. He stopped in Cairo along the way, and his luxurious spending and gift giving was so extensive that he diluted the value of gold by 10 to 25 percent and impacted Cairo's economy for at least 12 years afterward.

And we ask ourselves, what’s the percentage of our impact on Cairo’s economy?

Mansa Musa Keita I, (1312CE - 1337CE), was the ninth mansa of the Mali Empire, which reached its territorial peak during his reign. Musa is known for his wealth and gift-giving, and has sometimes been called one of the wealthiest people in history.

(Mansa translates as, “Kings of Kings” or “Emperor”).

Under his rule, Mali became one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

From their gold and salt production, agriculture and imperialistic nature and dynamic trade location, the kingdom flourished. Forbes named him the richest man of all time. Mansa Musa Kieta I is famed with enriching the great trading city of Timbuktu, establishing the library and Islamic Universities.

His legendary pilgrimage to Mecca with over 60,000 attendants and lavish outpouring of gold to the poor across Sahel region, Egypt and the Middle East was chronicled by many and is suspected as what drew the attention of the Spanish crown and initial attraction of Europeans to West Africa. Made famous by the Spanish map, which shows him holding a golden orb, Mansa Musa is also credited with initiating extensive building projects in Mali from palaces, Mosques and urban developments.
