lol ppl who ever believed the Mansa Musa lie (which I read often) should be send to a mad house and question their education level....... what a surprise West Africa had always been under-developed ! xD and btw. nooo ppl Egyptians and Carthaginians in other parts of Africa were no black ppl either, they were their own ethnical groups living on the african continent and sharing it with other tribes/ethnical groups. Literally stop spreading wrong informations only because you are butthurt certain ethnical groups never invented anything great or can not keep up because of several reasons. That simply is how it is and had been, twisting history and inventing stuff does not make it better or change anything about it.

Before I forget: Mansa Musa was such a great person, he left nothing behind beside a very cheap made AI picture of him ppl use as "proof".....

The sky above me was overcast, casting a soft light that bathed everything below in a warm glow. In one part of the field, there were small huts made of natural materials such as mud and bamboo. They looked quaint and rustic, blending…
