Answer 2

Answer:

Timbuktu

Explanation:

Timbuktu was part of the Mali empire from the thirteenth century until the end of the fifteenth century. Malian rulers taxed the trade that passed through their realm, increasing the wealth of their empire.

Especially valuable trade items that passed through Timbuktu included rock salt from the Saharan salt pans and gold brought by land from the south, in what is today Ghana. Enslaved people were also exchanged along the trade routes that passed through the city.
