Mansa Musa Balled Out Way Too Much on his Pilgrimage to Mecca!

Mansa Musa ultimately attracted the attention of Europeans when he went on his pilgrimage to mecca. He should he went more lowkey! However, it was a smart move on his part to bring back engineers, architects and other talented people while he was on his pilgrimage. In fact, he should have brought back more knowledgeable people.

Mansa Musa reminds me of some of these American rappers who like to flash wealth with nothing to show for it. With all that wealth you'd expect the Mali empire to have financed numerous industries: horse breeding, shoe factories, ship builders, blacksmiths (gold, silver, bronze, etc), engineers, architects, and artisans.

Overall wasted potential. The Mali Empire only has a few impressive cities.

The art produced in the Mali empire is mostly stereotypical with a few impressive creations:

The Ancient City of Baghdad under the Abbasids

Mongols put a stop to that. God imagine if we still had the great library imagine the historical gems we could gain from it. Why the f*ck did the mongols have to burn everything when they ransacked cities.

The Mongols only wanted trade with Shah Muhammad the second, but he ended up fighting with a Mongol army that was returning from fighting the Merkits. Shah Muhammad the second then behead a trade envoy that was sent to his empire. Ghengis Khan wanted revenge and brunt down many of the cities in the Khwarazmian Empire.

Im talking about the sack of Baghdad I swear Ghengis Khan was dead by then and it signalled the end of the abbasid dynasty.
