Скачать или смотреть Hulagu Khan’s Wrath: The Brutal Fall of the Abbasid Caliphate

In the winter of 1258, the world witnessed the violent end of an era. Hulagu Khan, grandson of Genghis, arrived at the gates of Baghdad with the largest Mongol army ever assembled in the West. Facing him was the Abbasid Caliphate, the spiritual and intellectual heart of the Islamic world for five centuries. This video chronicles the catastrophic Siege of Baghdad, a thirteen-day apocalypse that transformed the 'Round City' of One Thousand and One Nights into a smoldering ruin. We explore the hubris of Caliph al-Musta'sim, who trusted in astrology over fortifications, and the cold, calculated engineering of the Mongol war machine that brought down walls that had stood for generations.

Beyond the military tactics and the brutal slaughter of hundreds of thousands, this story highlights a tragedy of human knowledge: the destruction of the House of Wisdom. As Mongol forces sacked the city, they threw so many priceless manuscripts into the Tigris River that the water reportedly ran black with ink. We delve into the gruesome execution of the Caliph—rolled in a carpet and trampled by horses—and examine how the fall of Baghdad snuffed out the light of the Islamic Golden Age, leaving scars on the region that arguably remain to this day.

Join us as we uncover the darkest chapter in medieval history, where the wrath of the steppe met the pride of the city. Was the destruction of Baghdad inevitable, or could the Caliph have saved his people? Watch the full breakdown of the siege that changed history forever.
