About this listen

He claimed descent from Genghis Khan. He claimed to fight for God. But what he really worshipped… was conquest. This is the story of Timur, the man who turned Central Asia into a slaughterhouse and ruled an empire stitched together with blood, bone, and fear. From Persia to Delhi, Baghdad to Ankara, no civilization was safe. He left cities in ash, pyramids of skulls in his wake, and a myth that outlived his empire. He defeated the Ottomans. He threatened the Ming. He wrote letters to kings and Popes while stuffing emperors in cages. And when Soviet scientists opened his tomb, they found a curse. A haunting, high-stakes biography of the man known as the Scourge of God, TAMERLANE rips through history with the fire and fury of the last great conqueror.
