Mali Empire

I thought blacks had no history, Sup Forums? Why is that the Mali Empire at its peak was more advanced and richer than most of medieval Europe (with the expectation of the Islamic Berber-Arab civilization of Al-Andalus) and perhaps Byzantine?

>Timbuktu is a city in Mali, in West Africa, that was founded 1,800 years ago. During Europe’s Middle Ages, it was home to a rich writing tradition that saw the creation of millions of manuscripts, hundreds of thousands of which survive to present day.

>Population of 100,000 at its peak with 25,000 of these individuals being students (many of a non-African origin) a population 5x than of medieval London

>University of Sankore was the most prestigious of the Timbuktu universities where students learned grammar, mathematics, geography, history, physics, astronomy, chemistry alongside more advanced learnings of the Qu'ran. Cataract surgery was even being performed there.

So niggers are such primitive apes that during the medieval times when most of Europe (besides Byzantine and the Islamic civilization of Al-Andalus) was a squalid cesspool the West African Malian City of Timbuktu just happened to be a centre and hub for commercial trade and learning and had a larger population than London? Timbuktu just happened to have universities where complex subjects and even catract surgery was being performed? It just happened to have 25,000 students from many areas of the world and over 1 million manuscripts?

How did this happen?

Muslims uplifted them.

geez, what the fuck happened to them then in the last 1800 years? If that was true then the'd have landed on the moon a thousand years ago I'm sure. Oh wait, I know what happened to them, stuck with aa backwards, repressive religion like Islam and then over-run by niggers.

F

>advance nigger society
Can you recommend a book written by somebody in this empire? Or a work of art? Or a technological advancement?

Persian muslims uplifted them

>how did this happen
Slavery, lots of it, with the inclusion to the arab slave trade.

If you want better nigger history go check the ethiopians.

>King who had a gigantic gold mine in his kingdom was rich

What a surprise

it was literally a fucking arab muslim colony or outpost in Africa.

fucking niggers I swear , you always WE WUZZ

Have you ever actually looked at Sankore? The building is fucking tiny, just because it had a "library" does not mean that it was at all prestigious compared to contemporary learning sites, or even a major world innovation site.
But to more pointedly answer your question the Mali empire was the largest actual gold mines in the ancient world, they were the Saudi Arabia of today, vastly wealthy from natural resources but little other than some architecture to show for it.
Last, Rome at 1AD had a population of 1 million.

>smacks lips

>Slavery, lots of it, with the inclusion to the arab slave trade.
That trade brought Islamic studies of that time from Muslim Spain and the Middle East.

>If you want better nigger history go check the ethiopians.
Because they were influenced by Rome and are Christians.

It was later occupied by another group of Saharan sandniggers.

It was an Arab ( Caucasoid ) empire you dumb fuck - Research outside your bias before you post on here

This is during the Islamic Golden Age. All shit got destroyed when Mongols came

>the Mongols destroyed Mali

No they severely impacted their customer base and cultural influencer. Once the bond was weakened enough Mali reverted to a more natural state.

aka back to nigger state. all those books went to waste coz niggers don't read anyway

They were later cucked by the Songhai (which the Mali empire conquered earlier).

Mali wasn't more advanced than Europe, you know nothing of medieval Europe beyond cucky leftwing meme history where they tell you whites were backwards to make others feel better and downplay our achievements. Cucks do this even with the Mongolian conquests, they'll tell you that they weren't that savage because they allowed religious freedom. And why do retards compare London of the medieval period to anywhere? It was a shithole back then just like the nigger infested areas of London are a shithole today. Funny how these super dooper advanced societies are doing so shit today, unlike the west Europeans and East Asians

INFIGHTING
THEY HAD A LOT OF GOLD

MALI AND GHANA > ETHIIOPIA IMO
IT WAS BEFORE THAT BUT ALSO YES MUSLUIM MONGOLS

MALI WAS THE BEST AFRICAN EMPIRE UNTIL IT COLLAPSED FROM STUPID INFIHGTING LIKE THE REST OF AFRICAN """EMPIRES"""

Tibuktu is a jew made myth taht never existed.

The fascination with Timbuktu, which is in present-day Mali, was such that both the French Société de Géographie and the British Royal African Society sponsored expeditions into the heart of the Sahara, with the former even announcing a prize of 10,000 francs in 1824 to anyone who returned with a firsthand account of Timbuktu. Caillié eventually claimed this prize.
But Caillié reported that Timbuktu was a small, provincial town with “nothing but a mass of ill-looking houses, built of earth”—an observation that may have contributed to a shift in European perspectives on sub-Saharan Africa toward a more paternalistic and elitist stance. During the latter part of the 19th century, sub-Saharan Africa came to be seen as a region that lacked a history worth knowing—for its people were viewed as having made no significant social, political, or technological advancements. This, despite the fact that Caillié had stepped off the slave ship and walked to a city that we now know had seen more than 2,500 years of human settlement and was a center of both learning and commerce from the mid-14th century through the beginning of the 17th century.
When Caillié wandered through the streets of Timbuktu, he did not see a city in which the rooftops were lined with gold—as was the popular European image at the time. But he walked through a city that had a remarkable history of houses made from cow dung. His humble description of Timbuktu may have disappointed some in the learned societies of 19th-century Paris and London, but modern archaeological research throughout West Africa is uncovering evidence of large urban centers, unique social and political institutions, long-distance trade networks, and powerful empires.

Sounds like Jew Propaganda to me.

They were kings, for sure. (e.g. Mansa Musa)
But where is that empire now?
They squandered that money like a bunch of niggers.

>Mali Empire at its peak was more advanced and richer than most of medieval Europe
A prosperous empire doesn't mean more advanced. For every empire that falls, technology just walks a few steps back but quickly reclaims a normal pace and since technology is advancement you can measure, the egyptians were also just as advanced if not more than this one.

Were they proficient with forges, did they have blast furnaces ?. Craft of advanced tools, improvement of technology ? Mechanical clocks ?
Nope, all they have to show for about this place where you learned Qran bullshittery and dared to call yourself a scholar for it (kek) is a fucking glorified sandcastle.

>Rome at 1AD had a population of 1 million
just to clarify for the disadvantaged wewuz segment of the population: this refers to the city alone, not to the whole empire.

>Why is that the Mali Empire at its peak was more advanced and richer than most of medieval Europe

>Cataract Surgery was invented in India.

>The earliest form of cataract surgery, now known as 'couching', was first found in ancient India and then introduced to other countries by the Indian physician Sushruta (ca. 3rd century CE), who described it in his work the Compendium of Sushruta or Sushruta Samhita.

Nice try!

.Sick of Muslims,whites and now blacks trying to take credit for Indian inventions.

>these Mediterranean things in Africa had nothing to do with the Mediterraneans
glad we sorted this out

Uplifted, like europeans

But they failed and europeans endured several thousand years of soft eugenics in the form of a society without welfare and the bare minimum of charity that used the peasants as meat shields in wars that lasted hundreds of years.
