I really wish they would teach about africa in schools more, like I graduate next year and the only thing I learned in school about africa was that Egypt is there and that was back in 6th grade and we barely even talked about that :(

The reason that he and his people convert to Islam could be simpler than suggested in this talk, Indonesia (the biggest Islamic country) had converted to Islam because of the good behaviours and deeds of Muslims (Traders) at that time. As he said, east and middle Africa had a good trading relation with its north neighbours which eventually affect their religion beliefs after seeing the Muslims moral.

6:25 - Actually, it was Mansa Abubakari II who attempted to find the end of the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, the only reason Musa ascended to the throne is because Abubakari never returned after setting off to try and find out the extent of the Atlantic..
