There’s a huge blind spot in western education about what was going on in Africa that wasn’t ancient Egypt or sometimes the Carthaginians. Mansa Musa might get a mention but people don’t know shit about the Mali Empire, or any of the other political formations in Africa that were contemporary to those in Medieval Europe.
A lot of this is by design because Europeans destroyed artifacts and historical sites.
my guy never heard of mansa musa, the richest mfer to ever exist
