À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode, we explore the Mongol siege of Baghdad in 1258, a turning point in world history that saw the destruction of the Abbasid Caliphate. We cover the leadership of Hulagu Khan, Genghis Khan's grandson, and the role of the Naiman commander Kitbuqa. The discussion includes the Mongol use of Chinese siege engineers, the strategic importance of the Tigris River, and the controversial role of the Assassins (Nizari Ismailis) in precipitating the invasion. We also examine the aftermath: the sack of Baghdad, the death of Caliph al-Musta'sim, the alleged destruction of the House of Wisdom, and the environmental and demographic impact. The episode touches on the legend of the Tigris running black with ink and red with blood, and the lasting legacy of this conquest in Islamic memory. Listeners will gain insight into Mongol warfare, medieval geopolitics, and the complex interplay of religion, revenge, and empire.
