Everyone knows Mansa Musa was rich. But what did that actually mean? In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the economic realities behind the legend: how Mali's gold was mined, weighed, and valued across continents. They explore the mysterious Wangara goldfields, the mithqal standard that connected Timbuktu to Cairo, and the bèrè system of the Niger Inland Delta. They also look at the limits of that wealth—why Mali never minted its own coins, how cowrie shells worked as currency, and what happened when a single ruler's spending could crash a market. Specific figures like al-Umari, Ibn Battuta, and the Dyula merchant dynasties appear in context. For listeners who've heard that Mansa Musa was rich and want to know how rich, and why that matters. #MaliEmpire #MansaMusa #Gold #Wangara #WestAfrica #TransSaharanTrade #Mithqal #CowrieShells #Bure #Bambouk #Djenné #Timbuktu #AlUmari #IbnBattuta #MedievalAfrica #EconomicHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
