Did you know Mansa Abubakari II, the mariner King of Mali ruled one of the largest and richest empires on earth covering nearly all of West Africa? With his ambitions to explore he gave up all his power and gold in 1311 to his brother Kankou Moussa to pursue knowledge and to discover more of the world. He left with 2000 boats loaded with men, women, livestock, food, and drinking water and made trades with indigenous people. He landed in America nearly 200 years before Christopher Columbus. And never claimed to discover it because of the indigenous people he met there. Respectful, and player-like. â¨
enemies too.
