The 'Voyager King' Mansa Abubakari II - Africa's Greatest Explorerโฆ.
An African emperor who ruled Mali in the 14th century discovered America nearly 200 years before Christopher Columbus, according to African griots. Mansa Abubakari II, the 'Voyager King' once ruled what was the richest and largest empire on earth - covering nearly all of West Africa.
According to a Malian scholar, Gaoussou Diawara in his book, 'The Saga of Abubakari II... the emperor, who was a Muslim, gave up all power and gold to pursue knowledge and discovery.
Abubakari's ambition was to explore whether the Atlantic Ocean - like the great River Niger that swept through Mali - had another 'bank'.
In 1311, he handed the throne over to his brother Mansa Musa and set off on an expedition with 2000 boats to cross the Atlantic. His predecessor and uncle, Sundiata Keita, had already founded the Mali empire and conquered a good stretch of the Sahara Desert and the great forests along the West African coast.
The researchers claim that Abubakari's fleet of pirogues, loaded with men and women, livestock, food and drinking water, departed from what is the coast of present-day Gambia.
They are gathering evidence that in 1312 Abubakari II landed on the coast of Brazil in the place known today as Recife.
"Its other name is Purnanbuco, which we believe is an aberration of the Mande name for the rich goldfields that accounted for much of the wealth of the Mali Empire, Bourne Bambouk."
Another researcher, Khadijah Djire says they have found written accounts of Abubakari's expedition in Egypt, in a book written by Al Umari in the 14th century.
Black traders
Mr. Konate says they are also examining reports by Columbus, himself, who said he found black traders already present in the Americas. They also cite chemical analyses of the gold tips that Columbus found on spears in the Americas, which show that the gold came from West Africa.
"Look at what's going on in all the remnants of that empire, in Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea.
"Politicians are bathing their countries in blood, setting them on fire just so that they can cling to power," says Mr. Diawara.
"They should take an example from Abubakari II. He was a far more powerful man than any of them. And he was willing to give it all up in the name of science and discovery."
"That should be a lesson for everyone in Africa today," concludes Mr. Diawara
