Who created it? When? 85592 https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125381621 It is a Catalan Atlas, Abraham Cresques created it in 1375.]]> 2016-09-21 13:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125381621  How does the Catalan Atlas compare to The Huffington Post blogpost in terms of its depiction of Mansa Musa? 103271 https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125382089 It compares because this source is a little more reliable. It is a little more reliable because it was written a little after Mansa Musa's  death so Abraham could of known who Mansa Musa was.]]> 2016-09-21 13:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125382089 Do you think this is an accurate depiction of Mansa Musa? Why or why not? 85592 https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125382310 Yes, because Mansa Musa died shortly before this map was drawn so it could be very accurate.]]> 2016-09-21 13:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125382310 DOCUMENT C 85592 https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125382509 2016-09-21 13:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125382509 Who is Al-Umari? Do you think he is a reliable source of information on Mansa Musa’s pilgrimage to Mecca? Why, or why not? 85592 https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125383975 Al-Umari is an Arab historian who passed through Cairo in Egypt asking people about Mansa Musa as he passed through. After his journey he wrote about Mansa Musa's visit. I believe Al-Umari is not a reliable source of information because according to the article, he asked people about Mansa Musa several years after Mansa Musa passed through Cairo. Also, he asked random people in the city. This means the information people gave him may be wrong because they could've forgotten since Mansa Musa passed through several years ago or the people could've twisted their stories to make it more appealing or exciting.]]> 2016-09-21 13:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125383975 How does this document compare to The Huffington Post blogpost and the Catalan Atlas in terms of its depiction of Mansa Musa? 85592 https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125384366 This source isn't as reliable as the Catalan Atlas but it is equally reliable to The Huffington Post. The posts depict Mansa Musa as a very rich sultan but kind-hearted and unselfish.]]> 2016-09-21 13:17:48 UTC https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125384366 How does the emir Abu describe Mansa Musa to Al-Umari?According to the emir Abu, what traits does Mansa Musa possess? 85592 https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125391265 Emir Abu describes Mansa Musa as a man who treats others with great respect. Mansa Musa showered Cairo with gifts and was very courteous. Mansa Musa was also dedicated to his Pilgrimage and did not want to mix anything in with it]]> 2016-09-21 13:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125391265 Do you think Al-Umari’s description of Mansa Musa is accurate? Why or why not? 85592 https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125391419 I think Al-Umari's description is accurate because several sources have said Mansa Musa has an abundance of gold. Also, several sources have said Mansa Musa is very rich and a prince or sultan.]]> 2016-09-21 13:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/103271/oocg5u787jki/wish/125391419
