World History EncyclopediaTimothy Winegard’s "The Horse: A Galloping History of Humanity" is a sweeping study of the transformative role horses have played in shaping the course of human history. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MongolEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MongolEmpire</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Agriculture</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Horse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Horse</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HistoryFact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryFact</a> <a href="https://whe.to/ci/8-510-en/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://whe.to/ci/8-510-en/</a>

World History EncyclopediaChaffetz deftly illustrates the vast history of Asia and its great empires -- Chinese, Persian, Indian, and Mongol -- through a history of horsepower. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MongolEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MongolEmpire</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Empire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Empire</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Horses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Horses</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HistoryFacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryFacts</a> <a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/review/474/raiders-rulers-and-traders-the-horse-and-the-rise/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.worldhistory.org/review/474/raiders-rulers-and-traders-the-horse-and-the-rise/</a>

Thomas A. CarlsonDoes anyone here know exchange rates for local currencies in the Mongol Ilkhanate? Or what "the white coins" would be?<a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/numismatics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#numismatics</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/medieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medieval</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/MongolEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MongolEmpire</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/MiddleEast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiddleEast</a>

Michael Höckelmann 何彌夏🇹🇼🇭🇰🇪🇺<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BOTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BOTD</a> allegedly: Genghis (or Chinghis) Khan <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/%E6%88%90%E5%90%89%E6%80%9D%E6%B1%97" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#成吉思汗</a> (1162–1227), founder of the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/MongolEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MongolEmpire</a> who conquered much of Northeastern Asia. There is some fun but hardly credible speculation that 0.5% of the world's population can trace their ancestry to him.<a href="https://en.unesco.org/silkroad/knowledge-bank/birth-date-chinghis-khaan-determined-through-mongolian-astrology" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.unesco.org/silkroad/knowledge-bank/birth-date-chinghis-khaan-determined-through-mongolian-astrology</a>

Thomas A. CarlsonThe Mongol conqueror <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Genghis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genghis</a> Khan's grandson Hulegu captured <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Baghdad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Baghdad</a> and ended the Abbasid <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/caliphate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#caliphate</a> in the city in 1258.I just read a text that asserts that around 25 years later, the Muslim vizier Shams al-Din Juvayni was involved in a plot to restore the caliphate, but he was put to death when Hulegu's grandson Arghun overthrew his uncle Teguder Ahmad. This is probably just slander, but it is surprising slander in a <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Syriac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Syriac</a> text written in the late 1310s!I'm (re)reading the History of Mar Yahballaha and Rabban Sawma.<a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/IslamicHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IslamicHistory</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/MongolEmpire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MongolEmpire</a>
