This has really been bothering me. I can't figure this one out.
Mansa Musa was the richest man in the world.
Where did his wealth go? It's supposed to be willed to his children. The oldest son becomes the next in line but the daughter gets the kickback if there is no male heir. It's been that way since the beginning of time so there should be descendants of Mansa Musa rich as fuck right now. We should be watching "Makin' Musa Money" on Bravo right now. Kim Musa's makeup line should be lit but there is no Musa legacy or lineage of wealth.
OK, so maybe his little swimmers couldn't seal the deal, he had no children, certainly, those in power around him would have fought over who was the new leader and they would have taken control of the money. The power-hungry leftenant battles the jealous brother who always wanted to be King in a fight to the death for the throne. I'm pretty sure that's how they did things in those days, they made it a . . . Game of sorts . . . of Thrones one might say. Just ask Mufassa. Scar literally wrote the playbook for that move.
So, I'm thinking about it, and I'm wondering, not only where did the money go, but where is the palace? He was the richest man in the world, he didn't live in a hut made of cow dung, he had to have a palace that dwarfed the pyramids . . . because he was richer than the pharaohs. Where's the palace? Where's the relics? Where are the ruins? Where's a crown, a piece of art, where is all his shit? WHERE'S THE GOLD? He had tons and tons and tons of gold. Where is it now? Where did it go? He had to have jewels, and statues, and temples, and books, treasures beyond measure. Uhmmmm, and forgive me for being repetitive, but where is his shit?
If he was the richest man in the world, he was clearly very intelligent, because that's how billionaires become so, hard work and their intelligence. Nothing else. So, this Black African man was able to create so much wealth that he traveled with caravans of gold. Wouldn't that mean that there should be a major city, a MAJOR city that would have supported the number of people required to do all the trade necessary to become the richest man in the world? It wasn't just him alone in the dessert making gold out of thin air. He had to have a trade route, business,employees, contractors, merchants, there had to be a huge population of people that lived there and presumably, some of them should have been rich too. He couldn't have been the ONLY rich person in Africa.
Where is the city? Shouldn't there be a New York, Paris, London, Berlin, Moscow sized modern city someone in Africa that still exists today where the richest man in the world once lived? Am I supposed to believe he was the richest man in the world and he lived alone, him and his pet cat Sheba, and all his gold. Seventy five percent of Europe is old buildings that were built in the 1300s. Perhaps the weather and environmental conditions in Greece and Italy are better for ancient cities to remain in tact for centuries than they are in Africa. I'm told the heat can be intense in Africa so that's a thing. Maybe the city melted into the center of the earth. I say that there should be a major metropolis somewhere in Africa that still exists as a result of his fingerprint on the planet. Why isn't there?
It does seem a little more than strange that Mansa Musa is not in any history books in the United States. Let me ask my Africans on the continent. Do they teach you about the great Mansa Musa in Africa? How does an entire continent forget about the person who was the richest man in the world? Nobody said, "What ever happened to that guy, the one who was the richest man in the world? Remember him? Yeah, he sure was rich!" Seems like, even if the history books have not been kind to Mr. Musa, I would have thought that the people who lived under his rule, their descendants would be writing rap songs today, talking about how they are going be rich like Mansa Musa. It's like a club chant without even trying. "When I say Mansa, you say Musa . . . " How come that's not a thing? How come we don't have a collective memory of the richest man in the world?
There's nothing the United States loves more than a billionaire success story. And white men have REPEATEDLY told me that they don't care if you're black, white, red, purple, or green, they're not racist, they don't see color, the only color that matters is them is green. So why are there no movies about the great and powerful Mansa Musa?
Duh, because he's Black! That was a trick question. You thought I was going to give you a checklist of things that make up a crazy conspiracy theory and make you see things in a new light. Nope. Hollywood does noy want to see a movie about a Black Muslim who was the richest man in the world. Period.
Now, white men are going to use their clearly superior intellects to tell me why each and every question I have raised is easily explained. It's what they do. Nothing is EVER more than it seems There is always a rational explanation for everything under the sun.
In my mind, and maybe it's just me, but I'm thinking Africa should be a much, much richer continent if the man who was the richest man in the world lived there. Unless . . . his wealth was stolen. That would make sense. If someone stole his money, wouldn't they have also had to have masterminded removing every trace of him from the continent as well? Were there multiple players in place? One faction stole the money, one faction got rid off all the physical evidence, one faction was tasked with removing any memory of him from the people who would be his kingdom. That's some heavy lifting. Maybe the Illuminati is more powerful than we think.
Can anyone explain how all of these things together seem to the have accomplished virtually the complete removal of Mansa Musa, his wealth, his legacy, even his memory have been completely wiped off the face of the planet? It's almost as if someone or something, some force perhaps made him and everything he owned just DISAPPEAR into thin air.
