Genghis Khan's Blueprint: The Yassa and His Laws

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Yassa, Genghis Khan's code of law that held the Mongol Empire together. From the death penalty for stealing livestock to religious tolerance and the promotion of merit over birth, the Yassa was a revolutionary legal system for its time. Learn how it was compiled, what it actually said, and how it shaped Mongol society and the empire's expansion. The conversation also touches on the Yassa's legacy in later empires and the challenges of studying it today, since no complete copy survives. A must-listen for anyone curious about how a nomadic conqueror built a legal foundation for the largest land empire in history. #GenghisKhan #Yassa #MongolEmpire #MongolLaw #CentralAsia #Steppe #Temüjin #Kurultai #Juvayni #RashidAlDin #SecretHistory #Meritocracy #ReligiousTolerance #MongolSociety #Empire #History #FexingoHistory #LegalHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
