The two islands are described as being heavily forested.…

    Mansa Musa was one of the most wealthy leaders in all the world with over 600 billion dollars in gold, with great power over all his citizens, and to extend this he went on his hajj to show people how rich and powerful he was. Mansa Musa did not go on his hajj just for religious reasons he also went on the hajj to show the people of Africa how wealthy and powerful he was. One of the documents that show that why he didn't just go for religious reasons is document A, where it shows all the supplies he brought on his trip. It shows that he brought over 24,000 pounds of gold for alms giving, gifts, salaries, and supplies, even though he would have used the gold for these purposes, he would have probably only have used almost half of the gold for those purposes. Instead he would use it to give out to all the citizens of egypt and other towns and villages, and this is true because he didn't have any other remaining gold and if it was a religious journey he wouldn't bring 24,000 pound of gold to give out to all the people and stop his religious journey.…

    After I read the origin story of the Squamish people, I think it is a myth because this story is based on a truth which was heard by someone and told by someone. Another reason why it is a myth because is that it is a traditional story which is in the past and it relates to some superpower incidents happen during those times. I would compare this story with Christianity because it somehow relates to the story which I just read. What I learned from this story and Christianity is that both the stories have miracles as in the story I saw that how the people over there were turned into salmon and when they become into salmon and their bones are thrown away in the river, they come back in human form which surprised many including me. As we saw in the documentary which was shown in class, the story of the man who went sailing…
