In 1258, Baghdad stood as the intellectual heart of the world—home to the legendary House of Wisdom, where centuries of science, philosophy, and discovery lived on fragile pages.
Then the armies of Hulagu Khan and the Mongol Empire arrived… and history changed forever.
This episode explores the moment knowledge itself became a casualty—when books filled the Tigris River and a civilization’s memory nearly vanished.
👉 How much did humanity lose that day?
👉 And why does this story still matter now?
For the full story, the human drama, and the lasting impact — listen to the episode all the way to the end.
