Essince’s educational fun facts.

Who doesn’t like to learn a little something every now and again?

While sitting in my African History class we studied 3 main empires of ancient Africa, Ghana, Mali, and Songay.

The Mali Empire was at its height around 14^th century AD. One of its most prestigious rulers, Mansa Musa [mansa means ruler, or king], while on a pilgrimage to Mecca brought so much gold that he actually DEVALUED the Valley of Gold and affected the currency value of the Europeans’ money.

So all diamond-encrusted rappers need to step your game up.

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansa_Musa for [hopefully] more information on him. But remember boys and girls, Wikipedia is a community encyclopedia and can be changed.
