Mali Empire
(redirected from Kingdom of Mali)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Mali Empire

Muslim state in northwestern Africa during the 7th–15th centuries. Thriving on its trade in gold, it reached its peak in the 14th century under Mansa Musa (reigned 1312–37), when it occupied an area covering present-day Senegal, the Gambia, Mali, and southern Mauritania. Mali's territory was similar to (though larger than) that of the Ghana Empire (see Ghana, ancient), and gave way in turn to the Songhai Empire.

What seems clear from a comparison of the two versions is that the story of Sundiata and the great kingdom of Mali has been transformed over the centuries by storytellers from historical fact to epic status, much as, in Western Europe, the historical Arthur was transformed into the ruler of Camelot.
