@professor_stoke @dankwraith well then you heard wrong. those numbers may well be accurate, but chinggis khaan had died some thirty-odd years before the mongols besieged baghdad
@professor_stoke @dankwraith as usual, it depends which historian you ask. it's definitely the easiest thing to point to as "okay it's definitely over here", but the abbasid caliphate had been largely irrelevant for centuries by the time the mongols came around, and some historians claim the golden age lasted until as late as the 16th century when it uh....became the ottoman golden age. general consensus tends to be that the islamic golden age had been in decline for some time before the mongols
@katie i have never been annoyed by either of these people excuse you

@dankwraith chinggis khaan unified the mongols and brought about one of the safest periods in eurasian history. because nobody was stupid enough to fight the mongol empire, and they encouraged trade and cross-cultural exchanges, which brought about quite possibly one of the greatest scientific golden ages in the world
tl;dr: h*ck off he's way less problematic than the alternatives. also spell his name right smh

rather amused that the character i immediately got attached to, like. before even really finding out anything about any of them, is:
• cat-themed girl
• hacker
• fantasy autism
• very vocal about mistreatment of [fantasy neurodiverse] people
i mean, really, she could've been half the people i know. and when the only thing i knew about any of them was their usernames, i instinctively was like "that one. that one's my people". it's perfect
