Medieval Islamic history is dominated by Turco-Mongolian dynasties. One of the most impactful of these was the Timurids. Named after its ferocious and legendary founder Timur, who would take his armies across Central Asia, Persia, India, Russia and the Middle East - vanquishing anybody that stood in his way. In the wake of his death in 1405, his successors fought over the scraps of empire, leading to its political decline over the next century. Despite this, Timurid cities such as Herat and Samarkand retained its place as centres of learning and art, inaugurating a period referred to as the Timurid Renaissance. At the same time as civil wars between family members were destroying the territorial integrity of the realm, incredible buildings were being constructed and leading scholars were finding patronage. This is the story of the Timurids.

Timur/Tammerlane is notable for his destruction of the Nestorian Christian societies in the areas he conquered. He typically built mosques over the Nestorian churches and monasteries he leveled. Christianity became a European phenomenon after 1400 because it was persecuted out of existence in Asia (and most of Africa outside Ethiopia). (This is the assertion of the book The lost history of Christianity by a Cambridge scholar)

Hi Hikma, Thank you for making a video about our ancestors. Timur reestablished Central Asian Turkic power, culture, and ancient cities, which had been totally destroyed by Genghis Khan 150 years earlier. Timur's grandson Ulugh Beg became a great astronomer, and his student Ali Qushji continued his work in Istanbul. Babur, a direct descendant of Timur, founded the Mughal Empire in India, which lasted for 300 years.

Reasons he's less famous: 1. Genghis Khan and his successors had a bigger Empire and revolutionized the world stage. 2. Very little in the form of legacy - Alexander spread Hellenic culture for instance and founded many cities. His successor states lasted for centuries before being conquered by the Romans/Parthians. 3. In relation to the 2 above, Timur didnt seem very interested in building empire and/or spreading "timurid" culture. Btw the timurids figure heavily in gaming, for instance medieval 2 TW and AOE2.

Not a clear question! Defeating in what sense?? In military warfare there is no such phrase "to defeat". There are only strategic goals of the military campaign. What Timur was conducting towards China was a whole military campaign, which would last for several years. 1) Ming army was no match to the battle-hardened professional Timurid army, who brought all empires to their knees in Eurasia. 2) Ming army would probably use "scorched earth" tactics by avoiding to give a big one battle, which would finalize their fate in several hours. Ottomans, Mamluks, Indians, Golden Horde, all of them made this mistake and lost their military capability in one battle. 3) Even if Timur could manage to catch Ming army and destroy them, it would allow them to occupy Northern China, the Yellow River basin. Ming dynasty had enough resources to resist Timurid army in continuous battles. 4) Furthering the success southwards into the heartland of China, Yangtze river basin, would be practically impossible for Timurids, who had no supply line with their home. Thus, Timur's vision on this campaign would probably be not integrating Northern China into his empire due to the obvious geographical constraints. Without moving the core of his empire, Timur would not be able to control demographically powerful Northern China. China is a monumental prize, which would not be easy to handle as it was with Persia, Anatolia, Iraq, India. So, Timur would come and take whatever needs, then he would go back to Samarkand with a tick in the box "done" on his CV.

@@user-pc3ts8yc5b totally disagree. The Ming dynasty was newly founded by Zhu Yuanzhang and just came out of a quick civil war and was led by the Yongle emperor, the most martial of Zhu Yuanzhang’s sons. The Prince of Yan was equally use to leading armies in the war against the Mongols, his multiple expeditions into Mongolia attest to that fact. The Ming military he led specialized in fighting Mongol armies like Timur’s and were eager to fight and well known foe. Where Timur could field hundreds of thousands, the Ming could field millions of combat veterans. I think there is a reason that for decades Timur acknowledged the Ming as his overlord and he as their loyal vassal.

In the Baburnama, Babur also refers to himself as Timurid Gurkhaniya and actually has a very negative opinion of Mughals or Mongols, calling them Barbarians. The author Aabhas Maldhaiyir says that's because the Babur by that time was highly urbanized and was influenced by Persia and Persian culture a lot. He had a disdain for mughals. It's a shame that the Timurids Gurkhaniya are called something they hated, Mughals.

Firs Their main goal was keep Chinese and Kazakh invaders cause no army come from central government to rescue. There's still elements of pre unification Temurid time locals called "sart" or something and Shaybanids called "toza Uzbek" it's just classification.

"Uzbek" is the label came into use after the invasion of Uzbek tribe into Central Asia. The political rule belonged to Uzbek tribe, but the local population still were the same. Even the skull of Tamerlane clearly shows that he had a typcal Transoxianian appearance, which identical to modern day Central Asians

Biz kim mulku Turon, Amiri Turkistonmiz, Biz kim millatlarning eng ulug'i va buyugi Turkning bosh bo'g'inimiz. this is the one of the very famous sayings by Amir Temur. And I belive this is enough to claim Temur was Uzbek. And just saying the name Uzbek was not used at the time of Amir Temur is not reasonable enough. 1 nations will be called differently by different nations and it is also different depending on time period. Uzbeks were originally called Turks. Becouse separating the Turks were the plan from russion so they did not want any unity of Turks. separate the and control them is their anthem. Our anceters lived in these lands through the centuries and we share the same blood with them. Somethime I feel like waste of time explaining and proving to some1 why I am me ...

Yeah he was pretty much like an Uzbek in all ways and appearance, Uzbeks and Kazakhs and Kygrz look like Chinese people. Tamerlane was East Asian Mongoloid like Uzbeks. He was a very violent war lord, so don’t know if he’s someone to look up to. But at least you have your Alexander the Great.

@@Notreallyhereanymore i mean what is the chance timurids surviving constant invasion from Central asia. Turkey had a natural barrier as a border whereas iran was constantly attacked from Central asia and its Kingdom was replaced by them. And who said they couldn't be defeated? Times changes and technology too. Central asian invaders had advanced strategy and technology. Like Mughals were descendants of timurids and were defeated. Ottomans started losing from 16th century. Even if they survived there is no chance they can't be defeated where is innovation in technology. And last of all only tribes related to that empires are nostalgic for them as where is the choice of natives there is no chance natives would allow foreigners to rule them

PM of India killing 2,000 Muslim, men, women and children in Gujrat state. It has gone done in History of India From London, England.

Thank you . I really liked the history lesson. I'm a student of history. I've read about Roman Empire, Alexander the Great, the Mongols, ottoman Turks, Tamerlane, Vlad Dracula, Crusades, British Empire, WW2, and modern history. There is no doubt he's one of the greatest conquers like ghenghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Julius Ceaser. I like channel👍

Western historians often blinded with their own nation's military successes, ignore and often forget the influence Mongols had in the whole Asian continent, creating dynasties and vassals stretching from Korea and China all the way to Poland and Hungary. How can people ignore such an extraordinary influence, originating from one single man, Genghis Khan. Great documentary.

@sendyseptian8773 Ай бұрын

I think the reason why Timur is not so well known despite ruffling Eurasia's feathers is because of the few good things he did. Conquerors like Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, even Genghis at least made good on the things they brought. So, people praise them a lot. On the other hand, Timur is like the Joker who "wants to see the world burn".

Definitely one of the greatest conquerors in the history the Uzbek khan was as we all know merciless although the timurid empire didn’t last as long as the Ottoman Empire for example he will remain in the history forever as brutal turko mongol warrior…. The battle of Ankara 1402 The sultan Bayezid the thunderbolt was his captif and died later on that’s quite something making a ottoman Sultan his prisoners I don’t want to mention that he was bloodthirsty because in the middle age everyone was savage in a way

Timurid empire lived until 1858! Timurid princes ruled over the richest and most powerful land, India. All great mughal emperors, called themselve "timurid-gurkhani". The Timurid India possessed 26% of world economy. Ottomans were a regional power, imprisoned in the lake! they never had access into the world ocean! They could not influence on the world affairs
