Mansa Musa's rule..! Surpassed today's Elon Musk's wealth..!?
Elon Musk is the name everyone has been talking about for years. He is the head of many companies such as SpaceX, and Tesla. What is the amount of Musk's property? In indian currency, it is more than Rs. 20 lakh crores. India's richest man gautam Adani's wealth is half of Musk's property and the wealth of mukesh Ambani, whose son got married the other day, is not even 40 percent of Musk's wealth. In terms of billions, Musk's wealth is 221 billion dollars. Musk is also the first person to cross $200 billion. However, this is only half the truth. There was only one person who surpassed Musk in wealth back then.
We have said that 7 centuries ago, Musk had doubled his wealth of 220 billion dollars. But seven hundred years ago (1300 AD), One person had twice the wealth of today. That is 400 billion dollars. More to the point twice Musk's current wealth. Isn't it an exaggeration that there is no other person with all his wealth in the history of the human race? His name was Mansa Musa. He was a great emperor. Half of the African continent belonged to him. From 1312 to 1337 AD, half of the African continent belonged to Mansa Musa. In other words, Musa ruled a vast empire including mali, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Mauritania, and many other countries. This great empire was called 'Mali'.
Moreover, it was Musa who built the ancient city of Timbuktu on the banks of the River Niger. This work was done with thousands of people from all over West Asia and Africa. Meanwhile, in Musa's empire, everything was gold and salt mines. There were many gold mines and thousands of tons of gold were in his treasury. A lot of wealth flowed into the country through exports. It can be understood that the value of gold in egypt fell with the gift of Musa. Moreover, Musa left for this trip with an entourage of around lakhs of people. This is the most expensive trip in the world. Many parts of mali were educational centers during Masa's reign. Thousands of students used to come from distant shores. It is said that Musa has undertaken many philanthropic programs. Musa ruled the great empire of mali for 25 years and died in 1337. The great empire disintegrated as the rulers who came after him were incompetent.
