Description

Mansa Abubakari II, ruler of the wealthy Mali Empire in the early 14th century, embarked on one of history’s most ambitious and mysterious voyages. Obsessed with discovering what lay beyond the Atlantic Ocean, he first sent a fleet of 200 ships westward, but they never returned. Undeterred, Abubakari abdicated his throne and led a second, grander expedition of 2,000 ships into the unknown, seeking new lands. His fleet vanished, and no definitive evidence of its fate has been found, sparking speculation that they may have reached the Americas nearly two centuries before Columbus. The legacy of Abubakari's ambition and vision remains a powerful example of human curiosity and the drive to explore beyond the limits of the known world, even though his final journey remains one of history’s greatest unsolved mysteries.
