Mansa Musa, the most powerful king in Mali’s history, is dead. He leaves behind an empire that covers half a million square miles, and he leaves a son who will only rule for four years. 

EDIT: I formally release you from the burden of having to write a comment that does correctly point out "7:45 says 1930s." Our scripts have this written down as the 1370s. :) --Belinda

Quick thing: @7:45 you said "in the 1930's" Mali survived as an entity until the 20th century?

You guys seem to imply that "sleeping sickness" was a euphemism for foul play, but just a heads up - that's a real thing. It's a disease endemic to Africa and is fatal within months if untreated (which would've been the case during this time.) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_trypanosomiasis" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_trypanosomiasis</a>

Similar title to the Justinian and Theodora Episode 7; just a fun fact I noticed: <a href="https://youtu.be/oUtEJtBeCaQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/oUtEJtBeCaQ</a>

In general our main EH series are always six episodes long with a Lies episode. Occasionally, 5.

Did you set up the Discovery themed suggestions with this end in the hope you could do Portugal explorers? Because that would be interesting.

Honestly that was purely coincidental but that would make an interesting tie-in for sure!

Seems like it's about time for Mansa Musa to come and suggest a trade. Easily the strongest AI in Civ 4 with tech trading on and even without it, he's one of the top ones. Stupid, broken rich people.
