WI: No Mansa Musa Hajj?

See above. Mansa Musa doesn't make his Hajj. He doesn't give away shitloads of gold to random people inflating the currency in the Middle East. That gold doesn't then make its way to Europe via the Italian city states.

What next?
 
Europe knows less about Africa and its famed fields of gold. Perhaps Mali stays stronger for longer with the mansa staying home investing its wealth in nation building and further conquests. Someone should make a TL.
