Reseña del libro "Timbuktu: A Captivating Guide to an Important Ancient City and how it Became a Part of the Wealthy Mali Empire During the Reign of Mansa Musa (en Inglés)"

Whether we realize it or not, stories and characters from Timbuktu are everywhere in our modern-day lives.The great Mansa Musa was the most iconic king of the Mali Empire. Considered to be one of the richest men ever, Mansa Musa is not only the right answer to a commonly asked trivia question but also one of the inspirations behind Marvel's Black Panther. Although the other kings who reigned over Timbuktu may not be known quite as well as Mansa Musa, their lives have also inspired stories we are quite familiar with today.Likely the second most well-known character in Timbuktu's history is Mansa Sundiata, and although you may not know him by name, you may recognize his nickname: the Lion King. Many people throughout the years believe he may have served as an inspiration for Disney's iconic movie.Timbuktu was once a conglomerate of trade, education, arts, and religion, attracting settlers and visitors from all over the world, similar to the massive cities of today. So, how did a city that could be titled the New York City or London of its time become synonymous with the middle of nowhere?Learn about Timbuktu's various leaders, the people's struggle to regain power, and why such a great city is now almost in ruins.In this book, you will learn about: The foundation of Timbuktu and some believed translations of its nameThe life of the Tuaregs, the original people of TimbuktuThe creation of the Mali Empire and its acquisition of TimbuktuThe various mansas of the Mali Empire, including the great Mansa MusaThe collapse of the Mali EmpireThe creation and early stages of the Songhai EmpireThe various kings of the Songhai Empire who transformed TimbuktuThe collapse of the Songhai Empire and Morocco's occupation in TimbuktuThe early Tuareg rebellions and the transfer of power in Timbuktu between the various groups still inhabiting the city during the Moroccan occupationThe French acquisition of Morocco and TimbuktuFrench Sudan's (modern-day Mali's) road to independenceThe creation of the Republic of MaliThe modern-day struggles in Timbuktu between the Tuareg rebels and the terrorist occupationsThe current state of Timbuktu and what's in store in its futureScroll up and click the "add to cart" button to learn all that and more about Timbuktu!
