The Wealth, Power, and Hidden Stories of Medieval Africa
Did you know that an African king was so wealthy, his generosity single-handedly crashed an entire country's economy?
In the 14th century, Mansa Musa of Mali embarked on a pilgrimage to Mecca with an entourage of thousands and camels laden with so much gold that his gifts to Cairo caused a decade-long economic crisis. His own treasury, however, remained full. His incredible story is just one example of a medieval Africa that was just as ambitious, innovative, and powerful as any other continent.
This audiobook reveals a truth that has too often been overlooked: Africa was home to sophisticated empires, powerful rulers, and legendary cities of gold and scholarship. Inside, you'll uncover the rich history and untold tales of a continent shaping its own destiny.
This is not the Africa you learned about in school. This is a continent of ingenious trade, forgotten leaders, and mythic legacies.
In this audiobook, you will discover:
- The rise of Great Zimbabwe as a powerful trade hub.
- The legend of Alfarouk, the djinn guardian of Timbuktu.
- The influence of female rulers who secretly guided kingdoms.
- The innovative indigo dyeing industry of Kano.
- The story of the ruthless yet effective ruler, Sunni Ali of Songhai.
- How African and Islamic traditions formed unique new cultures.
- And much, much more!
From Mali's legendary wealth to Timbuktu's scholarly legacy, this book uncovers the forgotten riches, rulers, and legends of medieval Africa.
