What if one ruler was so rich he changed the world economy by accident?
In this episode of Vikings and Volcanoes, we uncover the unbelievable true story of Mansa Musa, the richest person in history and emperor of the Malian Empire.

Packed with adventure, powerful history, and surprising facts, this episode proves Africa was home to one of the greatest empires the world has ever seen.
History isn’t old — it’s gold.
