Скачать или смотреть The Yam: How the Mongol Empire Built the First Global Courier System

In the 13th century, the Mongol Empire stretched from the Pacific to the Black Sea. But what held it together wasn’t just force — it was communication.

This episode explores the Yam, the empire’s vast courier network: a system of waystations, horses, and secrecy that allowed orders to travel faster than armies. Built for speed and silence, it became one of the most effective logistical systems in world history.

Learn how the Mongols designed the Yam, who used it, how it shaped governance, and why echoes of it still remain in modern communication infrastructure.
