Question

(LOOK AT IMAGE) (60 POINTS) Which of the following describes a way that Mansa Musa influenced Africa (and beyond) for many years (Pick 2)

Answer 1

Mansa Musa affected Africa and beyond by distributing gold on his pilgrimage to Mecca, causing inflation in economies like Egypt's, and by enhancing Islamic education and architecture in Mali, particularly in Timbuktu.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about Mansa Musa's influence on Africa and beyond. Mansa Musa was the Emperor of the Mali Empire and his reign is noted for several significant accomplishments. First, during his famous pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324, he displayed the vast wealth of Mali by distributing gold throughout his journey, impacting the regional economies, particularly causing inflation in Cairo that lasted for twelve years.

Second, upon his return, Mansa Musa invested in educational and religious institutions, which led to Timbuktu becoming a renowned center of Muslim scholarship, international trade, and education, housing numerous schools and universities specializing in Islamic studies.

Therefore, two ways in which Mansa Musa influenced Africa and beyond were through his demonstration of the wealth of Mali during his pilgrimage, which had long-term economic repercussions, and his commitment to Islamic education and architecture, which established Mali as a significant cultural and educational hub.

Answer 2

1, and 2. He constantly gave out so much gold to peasants that he destroyed its worth in these countries, and he grew the trade industry in the city of Timbuktu.
