A proposito di questo titolo

In 1258, the Mongols under Hulagu Khan sacked Baghdad, ending the Abbasid Caliphate in a week of fire and slaughter. This episode dives into the details of that cataclysm: the siege engines, the betrayal by the vizier Ibn al-Alqami, the caliph al-Musta'sim's tragic indecision, and the legendary burning of the House of Wisdom's libraries — though that story may be more myth than fact. Lucas and Luna examine how a city of over a million people, the heart of Islamic learning and trade, fell to an army that had already swept across Persia. They also trace the deeper vulnerabilities: the Abbasid dynasty's reliance on Turkic slave soldiers, the fragmentation of its empire, and the rise of the Ismaili Assassins that provoked Mongol wrath. The episode reflects on whether collapse was inevitable, and how Baghdad's fall reshaped the Islamic world — shifting power to Cairo and opening a new chapter in history.
