| | Mali Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The empire was founded by the king, or Mansa, Sundiata Keita, was famous for the generosity and wealth of Mansa Kankan Musa I, and for the fabled wealth of the city of Timbuktu. |
 | | Musa was so generous that he ran out of money and had to take out a loan to be able to afford the journey home. |
 | | Musa's grandson, Mari Diata II, is remembered by Tunisian historian ibn Khaldun as a debauched, unpopular tyrant, and even the administrative skills of his son Musa II failed to halt the decline. |
