Timur's Slave Market: The Human Cost of Power
We explore the brutal machinery behind Timur’s rise, focusing on the slave markets that fueled his empire. Lucas and Luna discuss how captives from Delhi, Baghdad, and Damascus became the raw material for Samarkand’s grandeur. We examine the role of the qadi in legalizing enslavement, the specific trades enslaved artisans performed, and the psychological warfare of displaying captured elites. This episode moves beyond battlefield tactics to uncover the economic and social foundations of terror that allowed a warlord without noble blood to build a dynasty.
