Join Kelli as she explores the history of the Mongol Empire and how we go from Genghis Khan to Timur, a Turco-Mongol leader who is responsible for building an empire off of the deaths of 17 million people in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. His infamous calling card? Leaving pyramids and towers made of the skulls of the dead he killed at the entrance to each city, a powerful reminder not to cross him or his empire.
