Explanation:

Mansa Musa came to power in 1312 and his reign would be marked by a major growth for the region; economic, social and religious, as Mansa Musa was a devout Muslim who promoted this faith in his Empire and spread mosques, madrasas (schools) as well as major urbanization throughout his territory.

Mansa Musa promoted the economic and knowledge flowering in the city of Timbuktu. In it, the Sankore University, which exists to this day, is especially noteworthy.

Mansa Musa promoted the economic and knowledge flowering in the city of Timbuktu. In it, the Sankore University, which exists until today, stands out especially.

The journey of the Mansa is recorded in the year 1325 and it would take a full year to reach its destination and return to its city. Many things have been written about this trip, because in different oral and written sources, impressive details were recorded that seem to exceed reality. It is said that Mansa Musa traveled with a large entourage that was made up of civilians, soldiers and slaves. The number of the procession is disputed, but sources indicate that there were about 60,000 men and 12,000 women.

It should be emphasized that the descriptions of the Mansa's entourage come from oral sources and from different sides, which is why the accuracy of the data in this case is not possible.

It is said that during the trip, Mansa Musa built a mosque every Friday and gave generous gifts to the poor of coins and gold dust. By the way, this fact is pointed out as the cause of the devaluation of this metal and an economic destabilization that impacted even a decade later.
