Analyze the Wealth of Mansa Musa and Mali
In 1324 CE, a caravan of as many as 60,000 people left Niani, the old capital of Mali in West Africa. They were heading to the Muslim holy city of Mecca, nearly 4,000 miles away. The leader of this journey was the ruler of Mali, Mansa Musa. The epic hajj, or pilgrimage, would spread the African king's name far and wide. This DBQ asks you to envision the hajj and determine what evidence exists that illustrates the immense wealth of Mansa Musa and the Malian Empire.
Before writing, the class will go over the attached documents to help you and your peers better analyze the evidence as it relates to Mansa Musa and Mali’s wealth.
