Time Travel Question 50: Early Modernish and Earlier 4

These Questions are the result of suggestions a the previous iteration.This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had. (Invention ofs tend to fall in an earlier grouping if it's still open. Ones that imply height of or just before something tend to get grouped later, but not always. Sometimes I'll split two different things from the same culture into different polls because they involve separate research goals or the like).

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC BUT ANYWAY.

Okay guys now something that is in my professional area and I just don't understand fr why people getting so damn dumb through the years.

I read an article of a guy saying Mansa Musa was NOT the richest man in the world, and obviously is wrong cause iykyk. But the fact is, he calculated somethings and just sent it to GPT wanting an answer that Mansa Musa was not. And the GPT said Mansa Musa had no cellphones or water treatment, a thing today's billionaires have easily.

like, WHAT THE FUCK. Cellphones were invented in 1973, in 20th century. eletricity was discovered in 500 b.C and only was a revolutionary invention in XVII.

The Mali empire just existed till XVI. And Mansa Musa just reigned till c. 1337. THAT WAS 14TH CENTURY.

The worst thing is that he has a master in economics and that stuff. Like... if you're studying so much for so long to finally graduate, why don't you study a few minutes to search thos shit on google and do your own theories ?????

anyway i just got mad as hell.

Mansa Musa Keita I, (1312CE - 1337CE), was the ninth mansa of the Mali Empire, which reached its territorial peak during his reign. Musa is known for his wealth and gift-giving, and has sometimes been called one of the wealthiest people in history.

(Mansa translates as, “Kings of Kings” or “Emperor”).

Under his rule, Mali became one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

From their gold and salt production, agriculture and imperialistic nature and dynamic trade location, the kingdom flourished. Forbes named him the richest man of all time. Mansa Musa Kieta I is famed with enriching the great trading city of Timbuktu, establishing the library and Islamic Universities.

His legendary pilgrimage to Mecca with over 60,000 attendants and lavish outpouring of gold to the poor across Sahel region, Egypt and the Middle East was chronicled by many and is suspected as what drew the attention of the Spanish crown and initial attraction of Europeans to West Africa. Made famous by the Spanish map, which shows him holding a golden orb, Mansa Musa is also credited with initiating extensive building projects in Mali from palaces, Mosques and urban developments.

What if Idris Elba & Damson Idris played in a movie together? What if that movie was about the richest man who ever lived, Mansa Musa? What if it was also about the first Africans to explore the Atlantic Ocean and discover the Americas over 150 years before Christopher Columbus, Mansa Abu Bakr II? Would you go watch it?

Like many of you, I want to see and tell stories about OUR people. I want to see those stories told at a Hollywood production level. We deserve it (Hollywood is uninspired, right now anyway).

I’m not using AI to fool anybody, I’m using AI because I don’t have the money or the connections to get in a room with the executives at #appletv #universalpictures #netflix #primevideo #wbpictures #paramountpics #disneystudios or #sonypictures to help them see the big picture (yes, I did just tag all of them. This is a pitch 😁)

I know there are many others that want to tell #MansaMusa’s story like @michaelbjordan & #RyanCoogler (@proximitymedia @outlier_society lemme know if y’all want to work with me 😬); I just want to see it done right!

Anyways, if you enjoy the video, follow @themansaverse as I intend to make more of these.

Tag anybody I mentioned or anybody you know that could help make this a reality.
