As soon as I heard the words "Emperor" and "Generosity", I immediately knew that you were referring to Mansa Musa... and I love you for it. This tale of his pilgrimage is one of my favorites in history simply because it paints a completely different picture of sub-Saharan Africa then what we are used to nowadays. The tale of Mali and it's wealth back in its (pun intended) Golden Age is the perfect example that Africa wasn't always the impoverished and bleak landscape we see it in some parts of the continent now.
Well to be fair, wanting to show a completely different picture of sub-Sahran Africa with an Empire which was partly not even is sub-Sahran Africa isn't really that effective.
xh00 That's not my point though. My point is that the Mali empire was culturally,ethnically and also partly geographically quite different from the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. So it's doesn't really shows a good picture of sub-Saharan Africa if you have to reach so far to present a decent picture of a sub-Saharan civilization.
Except that his gold is valuable for "us". Mali was obviously more concerned about devaluation of gold than the middle-east, and in most sub-saharan Africa salt was worth more than gold. In short, his real purchasing power at home wasn't especially high (for a king), though I assume international trade made all this gold useful. The estimated historical gdp per capita of the Mali empire (according to diverse sources on wikipedia) wasn't especially high either, nor especially low. In the end, since gold value is so instable, the most trustworthy metric regarding wealth throughout history remains... food. Food never lost its value, and people around the world were always lacking food until the industrial revolution.
Don't forget, the supply of salt was in the north of his empire, but he also had large gold mines in the south of the empire also giving a large boost to his wealth
As a material they are worthless. But are priced based on their grade and cut. A rough diamond is generally worth 1/100th of a cut diamond. But now a well cut diamond is becoming worthless thanks to China/India and new technology making the process easier.
I haven’t seen the video but I’m going to guess before I watch: when Mansa Musa traveled through Egypt on his way to Mecca, he dropped off a lot o gold.
TBH most coastal africa that is not South Africa have a prety strong economy and infrastructure for its time. It was the interior parts and Western South Africa that was used as a basis for a backwards African stereotypes by the Europeans.
When astroid minding happens the price of gold will crash Edit: kind of like how salt used to be super valuable but today everybody has it and it is cheap same will happen with gold and platinum
Here in Australia, the minimum wage depends on the age of the worker, so around $13-$21 depending on the age of the worker, while this model may help encourage young employees, it certainly hurt older employees in terms of hours given
"why don't we just automate everything? what could possibly go wrong?" "why don't we just open our borders? what could possibly go wrong?" "why don't we just let billionaires exist? what could possibly go wrong?"
I once played a game of Civ and landed on a terrible mountainous isthmus in a northern climate. Finding food was hard (aside from fish), but the land was overflowing with gems. I had this theory that our money was worthless to us and we exported it for the goods we needed. Our currency was valued by all other nations, but we were using dried fish and nuts as our own currency.
+shakuuza ez Sure, if people coming to free you and your family and children from being dragged off to pyramids to be sacrificed and cannibalized; would make you cry. Tears of joy maybe. Get your history glands checked because there is likely a leak.
If I had any money, I'd gladly donate it to you for making awesome content. Unfortunately, I'm near broke myself. (Yep - also a College Student). So all I can offer is thanks. You do good work. Keep it up!
I haven't watched the video but I can already tell you that its gonna be about Mansu Musa and his Haj to Mecca where he distributed tons of gold along the way
Now if some one had been smart they would have gotten a hold of as much gold as they could while the value was low. When it when back up in 10 years they would have be set for life.
Before I even watch this video, I would like to ponder a question. I've always thought about how we will find infinite resources in space which will in turn reduce the high value on finite resources on Earth, but more importantly Gold. How will the effect of finding lets say a planet full of gold or an asteroid in the asteroid belt with a solid gold core affect the monetary system on this planet if everything is supposedly based on gold? Will there be a collapse in society? Would one nation find the huge gold deposits in space and not say anything about finding it? What if a nation were to find the gold in space and not say could they possibly just buy the whole planet at that point?
An important thing to note is that modern currencies aren't actually based on gold anymore. The US dropped the gold standard decades ago. Modern currencies are based on fiat value -- they have value solely because we say they do (although countries with weaker, less-trusted currencies do sometimes back them with more reliable currencies like the US dollar, British pound, or the Euro). Since they're not based on any particular resource, they'd be unaffected by a huge surge in gold supply. That being said, a huge surge in gold supply would simply devalue gold. We've actually already seen that: in the early 19th century, aluminum was incredibly scarce and one of the most valuable metals in the world. But after more sophisticated refining processes were introduced, the supply skyrocketed and the value plummeted, such that aluminum today is treated as disposable, used for single-use foil and disposable cans. A surge in gold supply would similarly crash its value.
There was once a time when salt was literally more valuable than gold. People don't realise just how vital it is for human survival. That was what made Mali one of the richest countries in history. Another thing: the Romans often paid their troops in salt rather than money, and this is where we get the modern word salary from.
frostyguy1989 alas that is a myth, since how can something you can get for free by living on the coast be more expensive than gold? Now, salt was still valuable, especially inland where they didn't have access to sea salt (should also be mentioned that different salt can have different qualities as well, rock salt is a bit different from sea salt). But it was never even close to be as valuable as gold. Also why it's a myth that Romans were sometimes paid in salt, it would just have been part of their rations
After having read more into the subject, I'll admit to being mistaken. It was still a valuable commodity, and its value for human life is hard to overstate, since without it we would die, or become more vulnerable to disease and malnutrition.
You forgot Gordon Brown, he dumped a huge amount of the UK gold reserves on the market, with forewarning and created the price low known as Brown's bottom.
Gold is valuable because it is a noble metal. IE it is not very reactive and does not corrode. This makes it great for industrial purposes now (along with other noble metals like silver) and jewelry.
This is like the one thing they virtually never address when stories feature the Philosopher's Stone like Harry Potter or Fullmetal Alchemist, since it said that the stone can turn base metals into gold.
I remember once playing Civilization V, I had a monopoly on salt deposits, literary I became rich as fuck, had the Largest army on the Planet and was the most technological advanced civilization all based on my 1000 year quest of controlling all the salt
The same thing sort, of happened in Spain after the conquest of South America. When the conquistadors came back to Spain they had melted down all the treasures of the Aztec and Inca empires and were continuing to mine more, so as you can imagine, they were flinging the stuff around left and right, and over the years it started to inflated but not in the scale of Mansa Musa.
I've been playing the old Impressions city builders, Caesar 3, Emperor: ROTMK. I'd love if they could have made one for West Africa and all the different empires that rose and fell over there. I also think Persia or India would have been cool. If anyone makes a game like that, I'll play it.
Something similar happened in Italy in the 1350s-60s, when the King of Hungary spent the thrice the amount of gold, which was produced yearly worldwide in that time period. All of this to get his brother on the throne of Naples, who not just simply didn't become king, but also ended up as being killed on his own wife's order..
i have heard that spain lost some value in gold from all they 'found ' in the americas now i have heard about mansa munsa's trip to meca but they video failed to say about the gold be brought with him had such a failing effect
Do your next map video on the Chaco war and your next informational video like this on how interbreeding for years between Spanish and Austrian Hapsburgs in the 16th century made a bunch of mentally ill kings and sparked a huge war.
Twice: The Spanish conquest of the Aztec and Inca brought so much gold to Europe that it cratered the value of gold. It was worse for silver; the Potosi silver mine in Bolivia almost singlehandedly made silver near-worthless.
I believe the way Mansa Musa got that much gold was by taxing people who were trading, not by trading salt. Also, salt was from North Africa, which he didn’t control.
If you had $400,000,000,000 and had to spend $47 billion of it on something, what would you spend it on?
