From an insignificant tribal clan, the Mongols seemed to come out of nowhere to rule over the greatest empire in the world, before disappearing just as quickly three centuries later. Their lands reached out across the Mediterranean to the Pacific from the Arabian Desert in the south to the tundra of Northern Russia and from the forests of Poland to the mountains of China. At the empire’s height, the Mongols controlled a staggering 12 million square miles of territory. But what was it like to live under their governance? How did they treat their subjects, and just why did they almost hunt owls to the edge of extinction? Welcome to Medieval Madness.

    I'm ethnically Lithuanian, and I recently found out that I'm 0.2% Mongolian. I wonder where that came from..

    Thinking about it, Native Americans sort of do the same thing with eagles. They have special permission to wear Bald Eagle feathers. Not sure if they're allow to kill eagles, but they have dibs on getting the tail feathers of those that are killed in other ways.

    Khan was last seen ravaging Oshman's Sporting Goods.

    Tribal horsemen controlling the world. Amazing when you think about it.

    Actually I'd prefer to not survive 24 hours than the alternative

    Alchemy was really the precursor to science. The hadn't formed the scientific method, and the process of experimenting and testing was not guided in the way it is today. But all of alchemy wasn't trying to make gold. Alchemists were trying to transform things for the better. Back in the day alchemy and chemistry were overlapping.

    On the title picture of the video we can see a scene representing the Ottoman - Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria in 19 century Europe. Rape and murder of defenceless women.... This picture has nothing to do with Mongols from 13-th century.

    The mongols were religiously tolerant unlike medieval Europe
