There was once an emperor in history who possessed so much gold that even the gold he threw away on a single trip brought down the world economy, so he was considered the richest man in history, and the name of the emperor was Moussa, an emperor of the Mali Empire in West Africa.
At the time, half of the world's gold mines were in the Mali Empire. As a result, the country quickly became rich from its founding. Mansa Moussa was also a very devout Muslim while governing the country, because the Mali Empire was originally an Islamic empire.
During a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324-1325 AD, Emperor Musa shocked the world. The pilgrimage was the most extravagant pilgrimage ever made. Huge caravans, gorgeous costumes, dazzling gold, everyone along the way to see such a grand pomp, all of them are stunned.
Mansa's team consisted of a vast caravan of camels, with 500 guards at the front holding golden rods, each with 6 pounds of gold hanging from his body; followed by a convoy of hundreds of camels, each carrying 300 pounds of gold;
Later, when he arrived in Mecca, he began to throw gold here, and finally found that everything was gold, and it began to flood here, which also caused the world gold to begin to depreciate and recover decades later.
