While no exact number can be pinpointed, we’ll talk about how modern scientists used isotopic signatures to confirm that these lions ate upwards of 70 people within a few short months.

13 min - 01. The Mongol Invasion of JapanOn this inaugural episode, we'll dive into the Mongol Invasions of 1274 and 1281. Discuss the rise of the Samurai and how an ancient typhoon, dubbed "Kamikaze" by the Japanese, came to destroy the Mongols not once, but twice.
