The End of Musa’s Reign
A man with so much power and wealth could have been a tyrant and destroyed the world he knew. Instead, partly or mostly, due to his religion and his good nature, he made a positive impact (for the most part) on the world in which he lived.
It would seem, a man of such fame and respect, would have a solid date when he left this world recorded somewhere. Unfortunately, to this day historians debate the end of his reign.
While it is widely accepted that he ruled for 25 years putting his death in the year of 1332, the debates still rage on due to an account by Ibn-Khaldun in which he stated that Mansa Musa was alive when the city of Tlemcen in Algeria was conquered in 1337. The sticking point here is that Ibn-Khaldun stated that Musa sent a representative of his court to congratulate the victory in Algeria.
