Ghana started to crumble because of the Muslim attack. Mansa Musa's kingdom of Mali began to be powerful. It took over Ghana. The people always showed too much reverence to their king. When Mansa Musa came to the throne, he ruled and kept on bragging about how big his kingdom had gotten. He wanted to take a trip to Mecca, but it would take over a year to get there. On the way, wherever he stopped, he paid to have a mosque built so he could pray. When he traveled he gave away a lot of gold to the Egyptians. When he got there, he took off his clothes, washed himself, and put on white clothes. After he finished praying, he had to borrow money to get back home because he gave away all his gold.
