Meet Mansa Musa (c. 1280 – c. 1337) who was the tenth Mansa, which translates as King of Kings or Emperor, of the wealthy Mali Empire. At the time of Musas rise to the throne, the Malian Empire consisted of territory formerly belonging to the Ghana Empire in present-day southern Mauritania and in Melle (Mali) and the immediate surrounding areas. Musa held many titles, including Emir of Melle, Lord of the Mines of Wangara, Conqueror of Ghanata, and at least a dozen others.[1] He is widely regarded the richest human being in all history.[ #RightingOurHistory #TheAmbyWarholShow
