19.01.2022 DEEP WITHIN JORDAN’S desolate desert canyons and rugged mountains lies an ancient treasure, the stone city of Petra. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the new seven wonders of the world, Petra is a giant metropolis of tombs, monuments, and other elaborate religious structures directly carved into sandstone cliffs. Believed to have been settled as early as 9000 B.C., Petra developed into the thriving capital of the Nabataean kingdom. This little-understood Middle Eastern culture ruled much of modern-day Jordan from the third century B.C. until the first century A.D., when it yielded to the rising power of Rome.

07.01.2022 When I rise, the world shall tremble! Timur (9 April 1336 17 or 18 February 1405) was a Turco-Mongol conqueror, the founder of the Timurid Empire in Persia and Central Asia, and the first ruler in the Timurid dynasty. Timur was the last of the great nomadic conquerors of the Eurasian Steppe, and his empire set the stage for the rise of the more structured and lasting Islamic Gunpowder Empires in the 16th and 17th centuries. Timur envisioned the restoration of the Mongol Emp...ire of Genghis Khan and saw himself as Genghis Khan's heir As an undefeated commander, he is widely regarded to be one of the greatest military leaders and tacticians in history. Towards the end of his reign, Timur controlled all the remnants of the Chagatai Khanate, the Ilkhanatate and the Golden Horse, and he also attempted to restore the Yuan dynasty in China. His army included soldiers of several different ethnicities and was both well-known and much feared throughout Asia, Africa and Europe. It crossed Eurasia from Delhi to Moscow, and from the Tien Shan Mountains of Central Asia to the Taurus Mountains of Anatolia. According to modern-day scholars, Timur’s campaigns caused the death of an estimated 17 million people, which was roughly 5% of the world’s population at the time.
