Presentation transcript:

The West African kingdom of Mali rose to power as the West of Ghana declined and collapsed.

And like Ghana before it, the West African kingdom of Mali took control of the Trans-Saharan trade routes.

North African salt for West African gold

But unlike Ghana, the “land of gold” with no gold fields, Mali took control of the gold fields. Mali truly was the “land of gold.”

The rulers of Mali taxed traders entering and exiting Mali as well as sold gold from its gold fields. The kingdom of Mali was phenomenally wealthy.

Mansa Musa was the West African kingdom of Mali’s greatest and most significant ruler.

Mansa Musa was a devout Muslim. Islam had entered West Africa along trade routes. To fulfill the Five Pillars of the Faith, Mansa Musa took a pilgrimage to Mecca.

Mansa Musa expanded his empire, built a great center for learning in Timbuktu, and made a pilgrimage to Mecca!

Ibn Battuta was a great Arab traveler, much like Marco Polo. He visited Mansa Musa’s court and wrote about his experiences in this land of wealth.

Mansa Musa ruled Mali from 1312-1337.

Though Mansa Musa was a superb ruler, his successors were not as capable.

The West African kingdom of Mali declined and eventually collapsed after the death of Mansa Musa.

The West African kingdom of Songhai replaced Mali and dominated the salt for gold trade.

The Big Five How did the West African kingdom of Mali differ from the West African kingdom of Ghana? Who was Mansa Musa and how did he improve the West African kingdom of Mali? Why did Mansa Musa take a pilgrimage to Mecca? Who was Ibn Battuta and why was he important? Why did the West African kingdom of Mali decline?
