The pilgrimage was a huge and splendid procession, and not only did the 500 personal servants of Mansa Musa, his wife, and his wife follow the procession, but also numerous citizens and nobles joined the procession
Six hundred thousand citizens and 500 messengers with golden canes stood in front of the procession, followed by twelve thousand slaves, who were dressed in colorful silk clothes with the name of slaves, each holding a large golden week
Not just here, 600 camels were following the procession carrying more than 100 kilograms of gold per head, and of course a group of camels carrying food for this enormous procession also joined the procession
Furthermore, according to Islam’s doctrine of helping the poor, Mansa Musa literally sprinkled a handful of gold on beggars he encountered on his pilgrimage and citizens passing by, and according to one of the popular stories, he just built a new mosque every Friday
He bought goods at very generous prices in major cities such as Cairo Medina and Mecca, where he went to make pilgrimage, especially during his months in Cairo, where gold was watered down, and the price of gold in Cairo was said to have plummeted
Gold prices have fallen so low that prices in the Mediterranean region and throughout West Asia have been ruined and, of course, the economy of the region as a whole has been adversely affected
In the end, Mansa Musa deliberately decided to receive a high interest rate and hastily tried to stabilize prices by buying gold on the market
Nevertheless, there was so much gold that it took more than 10 years for gold prices and prices to stabilize
The estimated property is worth about $400 billion in present value, about 453.2 trillion won in Korean value
