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.

M for Modesty and for Mansa Musa I of Mali.

His first pilgrimage caravan to Mecca in 1324 comprised some 60,000 people and an immeasurable amount of gold. He stopped in Cairo along the way, and his luxurious spending and gift giving was so extensive that he diluted the value of gold by 10 to 25 percent and impacted Cairo's economy for at least 12 years afterward.

And we ask ourselves, what’s the percentage of our impact on Cairo’s economy?

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.

Do you have a Fun Fact, this last Friday of the year?

Alright, I didn’t know if I’d have time today, but I’m going to try. Today You Learned about Mansa Muhammad ibn Qu.

Alright, perhaps you’ve heard of Mansa Musa. Arguably the wealthiest person in history, the sovereign of the Empire of Mali quite famously shook up the world by going on his hajj (that is, the pilgrimage to Mecca that faithful Muslims are expected to try to take at least once in their lifetimes) and carrying a butt-ton of gold. He was the most famous ruler of Mali, and all-around A Big Deal.

Anyway this is not about him.

Mansa Musa’s predecessor, as explained by the man himself, was Mansa Muhammad. The guy was interested in exploring the world, so he commissioned sailing expeditions all over. Before his reign ended, he decided to lead one of them himself, and put Mansa Musa in charge while he was out. So he hopped on a ship to sail into the Atlantic… and promptly never came back.

Mansa Musa took that opportunity for what it was, and put his household as the new royal one for Mali.

So what happened to Muhammad ibn Qu? [shrugs] We don’t know. He went west from Africa with his ship and we have no record of where he went after that. Of course, running on a theme that you may notice if you dig through the Fun Fact Friday tag, the fact that we don’t know where this guy went means plenty of people think he discovered America. 

It’s far from the craziest theory out there, but… no. No we don’t have evidence that Mansa Muhammad ever made it that far west. Likely he got lost or died in a storm or something. 

It’d make a great story, though.

The John Oliver segment on solitary confinement. Which is torture. See also this video from the Real News Network, where "Mansa Musa, who spent 48 years in prison, talks about what John Oliver’s recent Last Week Tonight segment on solitary confinement gets right and what it leaves out, including the fact that solitary was used to isolate Black Panthers and other radicals entering the prison system in the ’70s."

"When I got locked up and I went into Maryland Penitentiary in ’73, they had what they called the hole, and the hole would have been consistent with the concept of solitary or isolation, because they basically had made about four or five cells and they would isolate people in them that they deemed to be unruly. But overall, you had punitive segregation, which was you stayed locked in your cell, but you was in an environment where you had access to people, you could talk to the person in the cell next to you.

But when solitary confinement reemerged, when they started locking up radical elements, the Black Panthers, the Weathermen, Puerto Rican nationalists, anybody who was fighting, anybody who was antiestablishment, anybody who would stand up for human rights and self-determination, that’s when it became a tool, a mechanism to suppress that. This massive prison population exists and in its existence it creates a threat. The threat being the potential for organization, and organizing to combat and fight fascism, racism."

— Mansa Musa

"John Oliver and his team of writers talk about the reemergence of solitary in the 1980s, coinciding with the explosion of the prison population. So we’re entering the age of mass incarceration, more people are coming into the prisons, and the way that they explain it is that there’s overcrowding, there’s fighting, and then solitary emerges as this punitive weapon to try to get this prison population under control.

But what you’ve added to the conversation is that, you, like our dearly departed brother Eddie Conway, like so many other radicals that we’ve talked to on this show, knew they were targeted for solitary confinement because they are these radical elements coming in, they’re going to organize, they’re going to talk to other inmates, they’re going to build and develop that revolutionary consciousness.

So for a prison warden, they’re like, “Well, we don’t want that, so let’s just isolate these guys.” That was a really crucial additional context to the John Oliver segment. I just wanted to clarify for folks watching and listening, like you said, before solitary really became the weapon of choice in the prison system, there were other proto mechanisms for isolating, proto solitary confinement mechanisms."

"Albert Woodfox, another lifelong activist and Black Panther, was incarcerated after being wrongfully imprisoned for over 40 years, spent over 44 years in solitary confinement in Angola, was released I believe in 2016, and died only a few years after that. Just the thought of 44 years in solitary confinement breaks my brain a bit."
