Mongol Invasion of Baghdad #shorts #viral #mystery

Genghis Khan's visit to Baghdad, though a destructive one, is a significant episode in history.
Back in the 13th century, Baghdad was a thriving center of civilization known for its magnificent architecture libraries, and a hub for scholars and merchants from all over the world.
Other side, Genghis Khan, a formidable Mongol leader, was conquering vast territories, adding up to his Mongol Empire.
In 1258 Genghis Khan's grandson, Hulagu Khan, laid siege to the city of Baghdad. The siege was a devastating event that led to massacre and the fall of the Abbasid Caliphate.
During the siege, the city endured immense suffering. The great libraries of Baghdad were destroyed, and countless treasures of knowledge were lost forever.
It is said that Hulagu Khan's Army Threw So Many Books into the Tigris River that they formed a Bridge that would support a man on horseback.

Knowledge was put it vain, for a siege suffering knowledge towards ignorance.
