@elarpoet: In the year 1258, Baghdad—once the dazzling heart of the Abbasid Caliphate—stood as a center of learning, trade, and culture. Its libraries, observatories, and bustling markets earned it the title “the jewel of the world.” Scholars from across continents studied in the legendary House of Wisdom, and the city’s canals and gardens reflected centuries of prosperity. But in February of that year, the Mongol army led by Hulagu Khan descended upon Baghdad. The Mongols, known for their unmatched military discipline, siege mastery, and ruthless efficiency, had moved westward with the goal of breaking the remaining powers of the Islamic world. After a brief but devastating siege, they breached the city’s defenses. What followed was one of the most catastrophic sackings in medieval history: vast neighborhoods were destroyed, countless lives were lost, and the House of Wisdom—symbol of Baghdad’s golden age—was reduced to ruins. The fall of Baghdad in 1258 marked the end of the Abbasid Caliphate’s dominance and a turning point in the region’s history, leaving an enduring imprint on the collective memory of the Islamic world. #fyp #viral #mongolempire #abbasid #throatsinging

It was truly broken and fragmented. Had it been strong, a band of barbarians wouldn't have been able to win. And by the way, they killed many Turks, and the Mongols weren't Turks
