Shownotes

In the late 14th century, a warrior emerged from Central Asia and built an empire through relentless campaigning, political calculation, and extraordinary brutality.

His armies swept across Persia, India, Russia, and the Middle East, defeating nearly every power they encountered.

He claimed descent from the legacy of Genghis Khan, transformed Samarkand into a magnificent capital, and left behind a reputation that remains deeply divided.
