You cannot have a complete history of Mansa Musa without the accounts of Ibin Batuta. It looks like this piece left him out. He said "gold grew like carrots plucked at sunset" He was the chief architect of propaganda from the middle east. He was an Arab historian.
Many doubetd his stories because it was belived to be stretched too far. His accounts were real examples of hyperboles.
Please read furhter about Mansa Musa in this book West African History by Adu Boahen.
