Original Note:
Mansa died before the Black Death struck but it killed many Africans & Arabs. Medieval Europeans, even the English, washed daily, bathed regularly & used soap. Hygiene had little to do with how the plague spread. Europeans wash/bathe daily, then & now. https://x.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1822049846280294498 https://www.medievalists.net/2013/04/did-people-in-the-middle-ages-take-baths/ https://www.historyextra.com/period/medieval/did-medieval-people-take-baths-why-they-were-cleaner-than-we-think-middle-ages-hygiene-handwash-washing-cleanliness-coronavirus-plague-covid/ http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2019/08/did-people-in-medieval-times-really-not-bathe/ https://www.ancient.eu/Medieval_Hygiene/ https://fakehistoryhunter.net/2019/09/10/medieval-myths-bingo/ https://daily.jstor.org/scrub-a-dub-in-a-medieval-tub/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap#Roman_Empire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansa_Musa https://www.medievalists.net/2022/12/scientific-facts-black-death/ https://youtu.be/RdNCVCKL6Rg?si=fUrZxxAo1jZ-ZUhO
