Niani, 1375, Evening
Today shall be my eighty-fourth birthday, and since that is a totally amazing age to reach, I decided to pass down all my property to my twenty year old grandson. When I was looking in my drawer where I keep all my special items, I found this diary lying way down at the bottom, dusty and dirty. Once I cleaned it, I decided to write one last entry before giving it to my grandson to pass down the generations and remembered as the journey with the richest man in world-history. I hope this journal survives through centuries and used to remember Mansa Musa's great trip.
It was definitely worthwhile going on the hajj. I learned a lot about the Muslim religion, and I got great information that took up five three hundred page books. Although it was hard, the trip back and forth was very pleasant as well. The time that I remember the most is Cairo, when the generous king just gave away extremely valuable items. My thoughts match what the writings of the Catalan Atlas which has been extremely popular lately. It calls Mansa Musa the most "noble king" in all of the world, just the way I think. Also, through the journey, I have seen people from all over the world come through Africa, so I agree with the writing at the top too. It states that all merchants pass though our magnificent empire. Well, since this is my last piece of writing that I shall ever create, let me say good-bye to you and the world.
