Most of our information about Mansa Musa, the 14th-century emperor of the Mali Empire, comes from historical texts written by Arab scholars and travelers, particularly the writings of Ibn Battuta and al-Umari. These accounts describe his wealth, pilgrimage to Mecca, and the prosperity of Mali during his reign. Additionally, oral traditions and narratives passed down through generations in West Africa contribute to our understanding of his life and impact. However, the historical record remains limited and sometimes embellished, requiring careful interpretation.
