A proposito di questo titolo

After the Crusades and Ayyubid rule, Jordan became a crucial frontier for the Mamluk Sultanate based in Cairo. This episode explores how the Mamluks fortified the region against Mongol invasions, using castles like Al-Karak and Shobak as administrative hubs along the barid, their lightning-fast postal network. We discuss the pivotal Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, where Baybars defeated the Mongols, and how Jordan became a breadbasket and a pilgrimage route for the hajj. Learn about the role of the Qalawunid sultans, the construction of ribats (fortified monasteries), and the decline under Circassian Mamluks. We also touch on the legacy of Mamluk architecture in Amman's citadel and the impact of Bedouin tribes like the Banu Sakhr. A story of resilience, trade, and faith at the crossroads of empires.
