The story of Mambasa, the richest man in history, is a myth. There is no historical evidence to support the claim that he ever existed. Mombasa was probably a wealthy city in the 17th century, and a wealthy merchant may have lived there, but there is no record of his name or wealth.
The myth of Mambasa was first popularized by European travelers and writers in the 19th century. Impressed by the wealth and prosperity of Mombasa, they started spreading rumors about the richest man in Mombasa. These stories were often exaggerated and eventually became mamba folklore.
The myth of Mambasa is still popular and is often mentioned in tourist guides and travel articles. However, it is important to remember that this myth is not based on historical evidence. There is no evidence that Mambasa ever existed, nor that he was the richest man on the planet.
