Civilization EP36: Baghdad 1258 AD - Catastrophe of civilization Part 1

In 1258 AD, Baghdad faced a catastrophic event that marked a significant turning point in its history. The Siege of Baghdad began on January 29, 1258, and lasted for 13 days. A large Mongol army led by Hulegu Khan, a grandson of Genghis Khan, attacked the city following provocations from the Abbasid Caliph al-Musta’sim.
The Mongol forces quickly overpowered the city’s defenses, and on February 10, 1258, Baghdad was captured and sacked. The siege resulted in the death of the Caliph al-Musta’sim and a massive loss of life among the city’s inhabitants. Estimates of the number of casualties vary widely, with some sources claiming up to 800,000-2,000,000 people were killed.
This event is often seen as marking the end of the Islamic Golden Age, and it led to the annexation of Mesopotamia by the Mongol Empire. The fall of Baghdad had profound effects on the region’s political, cultural, and intellectual landscapes

Bro a.i sound is very unappealing. Get a mic. Even if you have an accent. Alot of youtubers have accents and are doing quite well. If not and its a money issue, a phone recorder is better than this ai.
