Elle KeymerHOST
At its peak, just to give you some idea, The Mongol Empire stretched from Eastern Europe to the Pacific Ocean.
Elle KeymerHOST
Now, the Mongols were fierce warriors, but they also encouraged trade, communication and lots of cultural exchange across their territories.
Elle KeymerHOST
And of course, the famous Silk Road flourished under their protection.

The Ming dynasty, which lasts from 1368 to 1644, ends up being one of the most successful dynasties in all of Chinese history.

Caitlin MoorePANELIST
yeah i think you know it is a really wonderful series kind of examining women's place and women's power in a culture where that is not afforded to them
DeeHOST
and more truthfully there isn't a ton of history about like about the like the the queens you know um there's not a we have we have like snippets and some of them like she does talk about this in the manga a little bit which is nice some of them like we do have enough snippets to know that they were like fairly influential figures within like the mongol empire but a lot of them there's you know they just kind of got left out of the history books and so for the series to explore like the impact they were having or like you know how they were trying to be autonomous or you know take control of their not only their lives but like the nation itself is a really fascinating through line.
Caitlin MoorePANELIST
Yeah, and it's true.
Caitlin MoorePANELIST
And it's like they're...
Ganzo UlziibayarGUEST
Every general he hired became world-conquering generals.
Ganzo UlziibayarGUEST
And then even after he passed, Mongol Empire reached its zenith, I think, like 50 years later.
Ganzo UlziibayarGUEST
That's unprecedented and never happened after.
Ashutosh GargHOST
Absolutely.
Jesse CoxHOST
Genghis Khan dies during a military campaign against the Western Xia kingdom in China.
Jesse CoxHOST
Unlike Alexander's crew, though, the Mongol Empire's leadership realizes that if people found out where he was, this guy who, you know, did, made a lot of enemies, we'll say, if they found out one, he was dead, and two, where he was buried, shit would go down.
Jesse CoxHOST
So his inner circle, unlike any other people, his inner circle comes together and is like, OK, here's the deal.
Jesse CoxHOST
We're not going to tell anyone he's dead.
Dave FarinaHOST
During the 14th century, the region of Kiev became part of the Lithuanian Kingdom, which had been founded in the previous century by a group of Baltic tribes, while Moscow, which until then had been a small part of the Suzdal Principality, became an important ally of the Mongols.
Dave FarinaHOST
This enabled it to surpass its rivals and form the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which was able to throw off Mongol rule late in the 15th century and became the capital of a Russian Empire that included both Kiev and Novgorod.
Dave FarinaHOST
Though Kievan Rus did not survive the Middle Ages, it was the first organized Slavic state, as well as the first to embrace Christianity and unite its diverse inhabitants under a common rule.
Dave FarinaHOST
It has therefore been claimed as the foundation of both the Russian and Ukrainian national identities, and impressive statues of Vladimir the Great now stand in both Moscow and Kiev.
Garnt ManeetaphoHOST
This, let me tell you where this is set.
Garnt ManeetaphoHOST
It is about the rise and fall of the Mongolian Empire.
Garnt ManeetaphoHOST
Yo.

Garnt ManeetaphoHOST
I swear to God, like even this season alone, I think Fatima Sitara is one of my favorite protagonists of this season as well.
Garnt ManeetaphoHOST
She is such an interesting main character.
Garnt ManeetaphoHOST
And basically she was a slave to, that uh she was a slave that obviously got enslaved into like mongolian empire right and she has spent so much time now in this mongolian empire she holds a deep deep hatred of the mongolian empire and one of her big conflicts is trying to take down mongolian empire in her own way but also trying her best to hold onto this hatred that she should hold for the empire that took her previous life away from her.
Garnt ManeetaphoHOST
But as the series goes on, you see that she starts seeing, you know, not, you know, she starts seeing different sides of this empire as if she starts meeting characters that she really starts to love and hold dear.

But Piper wrote about Yasa because... any SS officer candidate who's inculcated with a deep understanding of the Mongol empire and the Mongols as a people for two reasons, but similar said, the reason we are here in Europe is because of the empire created by these people, which was the grant biggest empire the world has ever known.
Thomas777GUEST
And, uh, in Himmler's estimation, the Mongols were the greatest martial race that ever existed.
