[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [QB] Mansa Musa paid tribute to no one and merely brought gifts. In fact, there is an anecdote about Musa concerning his encounters in Egypt with the Mamluk Sultan, whereby Musa refused to pay homage to him by kneeling and kissing his shoe, claiming (and I'm paraphrasing) that he kneels before no one but god, after which the Sultan accepted him as his equal and offered him a seat. In addition, the Malians themselves were shrewd tradesmen. It is reported that Musa's entourage went wild in Egypt, buying everything in sight but quickly went broke because the Egyptians took advantage of their excitement by overpricing all of the market products and the Malians had to sell back everything they'd bought at half price and borrow just to get home. When they got home, the Malians remembered the greed of the Egyptians and nobody paid back the creditors except Musa himself (who only partially compensated his creditor) and after that, Mali switched the priority of their trade allegiances to Morocco, leaving Egypt to deal with a recession. So clearly you have no idea what you're talking about, as usual. Not that your distortion of history has anything to do with the above as quoted. [/QB][/QUOTE]
