Describe the career of Malian ruler Mansa Moussa, and suggest reasons for the fact that he remains a more significant figure in the West than he is in Malian history

Please provide the best answer for the statement.

1. A devout Muslim, Mansa Moussa built magnificent mosques throughout his empire, including the Djingareyber Mosque in Timbuktu. Under Moussa’s patronage, Timbuktu grew in wealth and prestige and became a cultural focal point for the finest poets, scholars, and artists of Africa and the Middle East.
2. To draw further attention to Timbuktu, and to attract more scholars and poets, Mansa Moussa embarked on a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1334. He arrived in Cairo at the head of a huge caravan carrying more than two tons of gold to be distributed among the poor. (In fact, Moussa distributed so much gold in Egypt that the value of the precious metal fell dramatically and did not recover for a number of years.) When Moussa returned, he built mosques, libraries, and madrasas throughout his kingdom.
3. Such was Mansa Moussa’s fame in the West that the Jewish mapmaker Abraham Cresques prominently represented him in his Catalan Atlas, crowned in gold and enthroned above his capital of Timbuktu. Cresques depicts a river of gold flowing out of Mali eastward to Cairo and Alexandria.
4. Students’ explanations for Mansa Moussa’s greater fame in the West than in Mali will vary but might include speculation on the greater value placed on gold in the West, or perhaps the greater impact, perceived or real, of the ruler’s expenditures on outsiders than on denizens of the Malian state.
