He was chafing with impatience, stuck in his prince\u2019s robes and bound by the duties of etiquette. The prince was literally obsessed with an ambitious desire: to travel beyond the ocean. So he surrounded himself with a large number of learned and skilled people to rebuild his fleet, after a first attempt had ended in failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To carry out his plan, he handed his throne to his younger brother.

Indeed, the ocean currents flowing from Africa toward South America made this kind of expedition easier. Africans were used to traveling in the desert and navigating by the stars, a habit they would carry on at sea (a method of orientation unknown to Europeans at the time). What\u2019s more, an African-style boat had a better chance of surviving a storm on the high seas than a large caravel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this information, we now understand why, several centuries later, European explorers found <strong>Black people already present<\/strong> as soon as they first arrived in America.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source:<\/em> <em>https:\/\/dyabukam.com\/index.php\/fr\/medias\/actualite\/item\/740-la-presence-mandingue-en-amerique-precoloniale<\/em> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABUBAKARI II \u00e9tait un Mansa de l\u2019empire du Mali au XIVe si\u00e8cle.
