Mansa Musa and Islam in Africa: Crash Course World History #16

Thank you so so much for this vid!! The only mistake is mogadishu wasn’t swahili. It’s somali. Part of the somali coast right above that Swahili one
still watching <3
this is amazing, no western superiority bs
What about South Africa? What was going on there?
Let us not forget about south Africa and the glory that was Great Zimbabwe. African history is so shamefully ignored but is so rich to learn about.
Hollywood, where is the movie on this guy???
Your welcome! See you next week. Also, no pineapple on pizza. That is a sin.
Love the transcript so I can get the spelling right for new books

And he really had a whacky Bollywood song named after him
Great Ibn batuta

Never knew a nerd such this guy can make such an entertaining and informative program with really settling humor – subscribed! <3
9:03 Mr Green claims the number of Slaves leaving East Africa wasn't huge. This is grossly incorrect it has since been estimated the East African slave trade to the Islamic world counts for 15 million slaves compared to the transatlantic slave trade of 10 million.
So unless he is strictly speaking about the 7th or 8th centuries this is quite disingenuous. when all said and done the number was huge
