A proposito di questo titolo

In the year 1194, the Ghurid Empire was at its zenith, ruling from the Caspian Sea to the Bay of Bengal. At its heart stood the Minaret of Jam, a 65-meter tower of baked brick and turquoise tile, rising from a narrow valley in what is now central Afghanistan. This episode opens with that moment of grandeur, then pulls back to ask the question that has haunted every power from Alexander the Great to the Soviet Union: why does Afghanistan destroy empires? Lucas and Luna trace the geography of the Hindu Kush, the legacy of the Silk Road caravans, and the political fragmentation that made the region a graveyard for foreign armies. They discuss the names of the land—Ariana, Khorasan, Afghanistan—and preview how future episodes will explore the Mauryans, the Kushans, the Ghaznavids, the Mughals, and the British. This is not a story of a 'failed state' but of a place whose very strength—its mountains, its tribes, its independence—has been its shield against domination.
