Mali was trading with Europe via multiple camel caravan routes over a thousand years ago. The caravans carried gold and salt. Timbuktu was a center of Islamic learning and culture and it could be argued that Islam was ahead of Europe in those areas

Transitory gold that came from other lands to be traded in Mail is not Mali gold. It is the gold of merchants passing through and freely trading it. The claim then that this gold was taken from Malians is a total lie.

As the record shows, I made no such claim.

It is the central claim of the original post. It is literally the topic of the comment you replied to.
