Mansa Musa 2
Storyboard Text
- From the markets of Cairo to royal offices to the impoverished people who crossed his path in Egypt, Mansa Musa shared his wealth with the people very generously. The purchase of foreign goods left the streets littered with gold—a resource that was deeply appreciated and in short supply. The people were thrilled—at least at first. Though well-intentioned, Mansa Musa’s generosity depreciated the value of the metal in Egypt, and the economy took a major that took years to recover from.
- You get some gold! He gets some gold! She gets some gold! Everybody is getting gold!!
- You're not actually helping!! STOP giving us gold!!

In Timbuktu, he built schools, universities as well as libraries. Timbuktu became a major Islamic university center during the 14th century due to Mansa Musa’s developments.
