He spent so much gold that he caused a runaway inflation that took the city years to recover from. What were European impressions of Mansa Musa & how did that impact Africa? Europeans saw Africa as a land of gold because of what Mansa Musa did at Alexandria (he gave out gold).

His organization and administration of a purely African empire, the founding of the University of Sankore, the expansion of trade in Timbuktu, the architectural innovations in Gao, Timbuktu, and Niani, later adopted throughout Mali and the subsequent Songhai empire are all testimony to Mansa Musa legacy.

Mansa Musa wanted to travel and see the holy city of Mecca. He felt safe leaving his empire and his people in the hands of his advisors and local officials. He was right. They did a great job during the year he was gone.

I think that there are distorted and unfair assumptions of African history because they had a lot of gold so they were rich. but they were considered uncivilized because people don’t use writing. We can better view the history of the uncivilized by seeing, who and what they had to learn by.

Mansa Musa I was the ruler of the Mali Empire in West Africa from 1312 to 1337 CE. A Muslim like his royal predecessors, Mansa Musa brought back architects and scholars from his pilgrimage to Mecca who would build mosques and universities that made such cities as Timbuktu internationally famous.
