The Timur Podcast

A history podcast covering the life, conquests, character, and legacy of Amir Timur/Tamerlane.

[The Timur Podcast @TimurPodcast]

The year 1380 marks a turning point in Amir Timur's reign. Instead of focusing on consolidation and former-Chagatai lands... his gaze expands elsewhere. First, to Persia and the Kart Dynasty of Khorasan.

Season 3 of the Timur Podcast starts here!

A thread about the fascinating Karsakpay Inscription:

In 1391 AD, Amir Timur led an army of thousands against Khan Toktamysh of the Golden Horde. After navigating through the harsh steppe wilderness for months, Timur scaled a nearby hill and had engineers erect a monument.

The stone is fascinating for many reasons, including the usage of the words "Bulgar" and "Turan." But it also shows how accurate the early Timurid histories could be, despite often being riddled with exaggerations or legends.

@PedroTFilosofia Oh wow thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoy it!

“Fate had marked on the forehead of Toktamysh Khan, the misfortune which would befall him." -Yazdi

The year is 1391. Amir Timur attacks Khan Toktamysh. But this is no easy task. The Golden Horde, as well as the vast Steppe itself, are formidable foes.
