Genghis Khan's Code: The Yassa That Ruled an Empire

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Yassa, the legal code attributed to Genghis Khan that governed the Mongol Empire. They discuss its origins, key provisions like religious tolerance and environmental protection, the debate over whether it was written down by Genghis or codified later by Ögedei, and its role in maintaining order across a vast, diverse realm. Drawing on sources like Juvayni and the Secret History of the Mongols, they unpack how the Yassa balanced steppe tradition with imperial necessity. #Yassa #GenghisKhan #MongolEmpire #LegalCode #Juvayni #SecretHistoryOfTheMongols #Ögedei #SteppeLaw #ReligiousTolerance #MongolHistory #CentralAsia #EmpireBuilding #LawAndOrder #SteppeTradition #MongolConquest #Karakorum #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
