I went to Mali,  in Timbuktu between 1230 - 1600 CE. i met Mansa Musa was very  in his palace. I learned that he was the king. He told me about Islam. How he forced the laws of the Koran into his own justice system. Musa helped cities such as Timbuktu and Gao to become major international icons of Islamic learning and culture of their time.  Mansa Musa was very  generous and caring. He would hand out gold to everyone. Musa was cool, he was straight forward. He was an amazing king, I was honored to be there with him.

Mali was a cool place to go. I learned a lot. I had a lot of really interesting experiences with Sundiata and Musa.  I was bored and decided to go out and just enjoy the day. I hit the Niger River, the shops and the trade business. While in mali, i went to Great Mosque of Djenné, in Djenne. It is said to be  the largest mud brick building in the world. The people there pray a lot. It is said to be the  greatest achievement of the Sudano-Sahelian. It  helped strengthen Islamic influence.


My journey was coming to an end. I had to get back to my time machine. I wanted to say goodbye to Musa and Sundiata and got a little souvenir from the mud brick building. I said thank you for all my friends that helped. I ran back to my time machine, put in all my info. And headed back. I was sad knowing that all my friends in mali 1230, had died. But what an experience! Can't wait for china!!
