A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Mongol invasion of Syria in 1260, a cataclysmic event that reshaped the Middle East. They focus on the siege of Aleppo, where Hulagu Khan's forces used advanced siegecraft to breach the ancient city walls, unleashing a week of slaughter. The conversation covers the internal divisions among Muslim rulers that aided the Mongols — particularly the rivalry between the Ayyubids of Aleppo and the Mamluks of Egypt. Lucas explains the pivotal role of the Mongol general Kitbuqa, who later fell at the Battle of Ayn Jalut, and the tragic fate of the historian Ibn al-Adim, who lost his life's work in the burning of Aleppo's great library. Luna asks about the use of Chinese siege engineers and the reported 100,000-man garrison. The episode ends by reflecting on how the sack of Aleppo became a lasting scar in Syrian memory, a moment when the old order collapsed under the hooves of the Mongol cavalry.
