  • In the far east of the Eurasian steppe, the sound of hoofbeats is growing... In this episode we travel along the vast grassland corridor of the steppe, to hear one of the most remarkable and unlikely stories from medieval history – the story of the Mongol Empire. Find out how this group of nomadic horse riders united the peoples of the Mongolian steppe, and forged them into a truly unique kind of state. Discover how they conquered much of the lands of Eurasia, and brought the distant cultures of China, Persia, the Middle East and Europe into contact. And hear the story of how the world’s largest land empire finally came apart, and left the world as we know it in its wake.

A golden horde of stories

I really loved this 2-parter. I was absolutely transported away, like I am with all of Paul's narratives. But this story of the Mongols and their impact in shaping the maps of our modern world was a truly exotic and eye-opening journey. I don't mind the long episodes because I don't want these well-produced, and really well-researched narratives to end!
