I am Mansa Musa of the Mali Empire. The empire that I have built is in West Africa, standing as an Islamic State. We are every rich!
Capital
There is a building called Timbuktu and that is important. This trade center allows many trade routes that connects the main part of the Niger River to the Sahara Desert.
Islam
Gold and copper keeps my empire alive and stable. To become this way, I took over all of the gold mines that was previously in Ghana.
Building Houses
Niani is the capital of Mali. Coming here, I brung a lot of people with me, over a thousand. Camels were also used to help bring the gold from one place to another.
Islam is such a powerful religion. To be more involved, a group of people traded their goods with mine. During this trade Islam spread quickly from North Africa to West Africa.
Since I am rich, I decided to give back to my community. Houses were built in Mecca and Cairo for multiple of my attendants. Not only that, gold was given to people as well.
