Hayal İle Gerçek Arasında Timbuktu İmgesi

Timbuktu, located on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, embodies two contrasting images: its physical reality and legendary status. The city's fame was cemented during Mansa Musa's pilgrimage to Cairo, where he distributed vast amounts of gold, capturing European interest. This attention was amplified by depictions in the Catalan Atlas, which portrayed Timbuktu as a symbol of wealth and mystery. The study delves into the journey of European explorers seeking to reach Timbuktu, analyzing their initial impressions upon arrival. It also explores how Timbuktu's legendary image was formed, sustained over centuries, and influenced by real experiences, giving rise to phrases and sayings that endure today.
