🔴 **The Mongol empire’s expansion and rethinking research trends in Chinese historical climatology**

_“This article introduces the underlying reasons for the westward expansion of the Mongol Empire, challenging entrenched assumptions through the lens of climate. It reviews scholarly discourse, focusing in particular on a theory linking Mongol expansion to a global dry period, while juxtaposing this with recent research spearheaded by climatologists. Their findings reveal that Mongol expansion coincided with favorable climatic conditions, casting doubt on the traditional narrative.”_

Does anyone here know exchange rates for local currencies in the Mongol Ilkhanate? Or what "the white coins" would be?

The Mongol conqueror #Genghis Khan's grandson Hulegu captured #Baghdad and ended the Abbasid #caliphate in the city in 1258.

I just read a text that asserts that around 25 years later, the Muslim vizier Shams al-Din Juvayni was involved in a plot to restore the caliphate, but he was put to death when Hulegu's grandson Arghun overthrew his uncle Teguder Ahmad. This is probably just slander, but it is surprising slander in a #Syriac text written in the late 1310s!

I'm (re)reading the History of Mar Yahballaha and Rabban Sawma.

End of Empires

Crimea has the distinction of being the site of the last remnants of two formerly great empires.

In 1475, the Ottoman Empire took the last remaining principality of the Byzantine Empire, the Roman Empire that survived the fall of Rome.

Then in 1783, the Russians overran the Crimean Khanate, a leftover from the Mongol Empire.
