Analyze Mansa Musa's pilgrimage significance

• This massive display of wealth put the Mali Empire on European and Middle Eastern maps, attracting merchants and scholars.
• It caused the price of gold to fall (depreciate) rather than rise, and camels were already known in Arabia.

Analyze Chinese innovations brought to Europe

• Gunpowder, printing, and the mariner's compass were all major Chinese technological innovations developed before the 1500s.
• These technologies were transmitted to Europe via trade routes, heavily facilitated by Arab traders.
• Therefore, all of the listed choices are correct examples.
