  1. I am suprised he didn't mention two other big deals. Mongols ripped a lot of the most powerful a new one. They didn't just conquer Baghdad. They obliterated it. Then moved on to slaughter other caliphates, because the Muslim world didn't band together like today. Then you had the Black Death. Crusades. Then you had Europeans wondering if we could sale around these guys we've been in a life and death struggle with. So the importance of the silk road diminished. Then Europe came ahead through the sheer wealth via exploration, and found sources of silver for Asia. All while Muslims remained Muslim. Europeans took the best from Muslims, and then went onto do bigger and better things. All these things including what is in the video. Today Muslims cannot get along each other with corrupt governments. Anyway Mongols with silk road losing its value I think had a lot to do with it.
