Original Note:
The person mentioned in the tweet never existed, and the voyage mentioned is probably that of Mansa Muhammad ibn Qu in 1312 or slightly prior. His fleet made an attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean but never returned. There is no evidence that he ever reached the Americas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_voyage_of_the_predecessor_of_Mansa_Musa
