À propos de ce contenu audio

 In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the religious and cultural divisions that fractured the Mongol Empire from within. They focus on the Mongol civil war between the Buddhist-leaning Yuan dynasty under Kublai Khan and the Muslim Chagatai Khanate under Kaidu and his son Chapar, which erupted in the late 13th century. The conversation also covers the role of the Tibetan monk Phagspa, who created a new script for the Mongols, and the impact of the Yasa legal code in managing diverse faiths within the empire. Lucas explains how the Mongols' policy of religious tolerance was both a strength and a source of internal conflict, as different khanates adopted local religions. He highlights the Battle of the Irtysh River in 1288 and the diplomatic missions between the Ilkhanate and Europe, which were complicated by these religious tensions. The episode also touches on the conversion of the Ilkhan Ghazan to Islam and the lasting legacy of Mongol religious policies in Central Asia.
