014: Paramotoring Oman

Paramotoring has quietly been around for a few years in Oman, but the new kids on the block, SkySchool, bring it to the next level. In this episode of the Sultanate I meet up with Seth Royce, who manages SkySchool Oman. He gives me the lowdown on what this crazy sport is all about, how he got involved with paramotoring, and what kind of experience one can expect when flying in Oman. Seth is a long time traveler but recent expat in Oman. You can feel the excietment in his voice when he describes his first experiences in the country through the purview of paramotoring, and his lust for more. So, join me as I take you down to al Sawadi Beach, and up in the air with Seth to see Oman from a truly unique angle. Thank you to everybody who participated in the survey.

The Hidden History of Bengal: Kingdoms, Empires, and Revolution — Fexingo History Fexingo Bengal's history is far more than a footnote in the British Raj. This podcast explores the region's ancient kingdoms—from the Gauda and Pala empires to the Bengal Sultanate—and its pivotal role as a crossroads of trade, culture, and rebellion. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the rise and fall of dynasties like the Senas and the Mughal subahdars, the flourishing of Bengali literature under the Sultanate, and the catastrophic Bengal Famine of 1770. They delve into the Battle of Plassey (1757), the expansion of the British East India Company, and the emergence of Calcutta as a colonial capital. The show examines the 1905 Partition of Bengal, the Swadeshi movement, and the birth of revolutionary nationalism—from the Anushilan Samiti to Subhas Chandra Bose's Indian National Army. It also covers the 1943 famine, the 1947 partition, and the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, connecting these events to contemporary debates about identity, climate change, and economic development. Why Benga Tamerlane: The Conqueror Who Tried to Rebuild the Mongol Legacy — Fexingo History Fexingo Few conquerors have left as contradictory a legacy as Timur, known to the West as Tamerlane. Born in the 1330s near Samarkand, he rose from a minor chieftain to forge an empire that stretched from Delhi to Damascus, all under the banner of restoring the Mongol world order. Yet his rule was a paradox: a man who built towers of skulls from Isfahan to Baghdad, yet also patronized a cultural renaissance in his capital. This show follows the arc of Timur's career—his campaigns against the Golden Horde, the Ottomans, and the Delhi Sultanate; his brutal sack of Delhi in 1398; his chess-like diplomacy that pitted rival khans against each other; and the fragile empire he left behind, which his descendants, the Timurids, would transform into the Mughal dynasty of India. Lucas and Luna dissect the man behind the myth: was Timur a psychopathic warlord, a strategic genius, or a figure who genuinely believed he was restoring Genghis Khan's legacy?

They explore the infrastructure of his empire—the re Sri Krishna Devarayalu Kadachepta Team Krishnadevaraya (Kṛṣṇa Deva Rāya) was an emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire who reigned from 1509–1529. He is the third ruler of the Tuluva Dynasty. Presiding over the empire at its zenith, he is regarded as an icon by many Indians. Krishna Deva Raya earned the titles Kannada Rajya Rama Ramana (lit, “Lord of the Kannada empire”), Andhra Bhoja and Mooru Rayara Ganda (lit, “King of three Kings”). He became the dominant ruler of the peninsula of India by defeating the Sultans of Bijapur, Golconda, the Bahmani Sultanate and the Gajapatis of Odisha. He was one of the most powerful of all the Hindu rulers of India. Indeed, when the Mughal Babur was taking stock of the potentates of north India, Krishnadevaraya was rated the most powerful and had the most extensive empire in the subcontinent
