This video explains that the 14th century African king Mansa Munsa was one of the wealthiest people who ever lived.

[NOTE: Mansa Musa was the ruler of the Mali Empire in Africa between 1312 and 1337 AD.  He was very wealthy due to that region of the world having vast amounts of gold, and he is often claimed to be “the wealthiest person of all time,” with his wealth being claimed to be $400 billion when adjusted for inflation, however I can’t imagine how it would be possible to actually realistically determine that value.  Musa is said to have owned 12,000 slaves that he brought on his well-known pilgrimage to Mecca.  Establishment media outlets try to avoid mentioning slavery in Africa as much as possible unless they are only talking about the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and they almost never mention the 1,400 year history of Islam’s extensive involvement in the slave trade.

Additionally, the video claims “the Islamic world was ‘flourishing’ at that time,” however I do not think that it was really “flourishing” due to the brutally repressive nature of the ideology, such as the death penalty for apostasy being enforced in many parts of the Islamic world even today.]
