There have been many kings and emperors in the world who have been very strange. All of you must have heard about many people of history, but you would not know the richest man in history. It is said that there was such a rich man who had so much wealth, that it was difficult to even guess. The name of that man was Mansa Musa I, who was the king of Timbuktu. You would know that today Timbuktu is a city in the African country of Mali and it is said that Moses ruled the Sultanate of Mali at a time when there were gold reserves.

Yes, not only that, but it is also said that under his rule, about 1000 kg of gold was produced in a year. Very few people know that Mansa Musa became the ruler of the Mali Empire in 1312 AD and during his reign of 25 years, he built not one or two but many mosques. At the same time, many mosques built by him still exist today. Not only this, the Jingareber Mosque of Timbuktu is one of the same mosques built during the era of Mansa Musa and is another story related to Mansa Musa.

Story - Actually, it is said that in 1324 AD Mansa Musa went on a trip to Mecca, at that time his convoy consisted of about 60 thousand people. 12 thousand of them were his personal followers only. It is said that ahead of the horse that Mansa Musa was riding, there was a squad of 500 people and everyone was given a stick of gold in each hand. At the same time, there was a bundle of 80 camels in Mansa Musa's convoy and each camel loaded 136 kg of gold. It is said that Mansa Musa was of a very liberal kind and when he passed through the Egyptian capital, Cairo, he donated so much money to the poor that there was a huge inflation in that area. After that, during the era of Mansa Musa, Europe did not have any special mineral or gold reserves and when the talk of Mansa Musa distributing gold among the poor reached Europe at one time, they started coming to Mali kingdom only to see that Mansa What is known about Moses' wealth is true or false.
