Genghis Khan's Yassa Code That United an Empire

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Yassa, Genghis Khan's legendary legal code that held the Mongol Empire together. They discuss how it unified diverse tribes, its key laws on loyalty and trade, and why no complete copy survives today. Learn about the death penalty for adultery and the Mongol ban on washing clothes in streams, and how the Yassa influenced later conquerors like Timur. Drawing on accounts from Juvayni and Rashid al-Din, the hosts untangle myth from history and consider the code's lasting legacy on steppe justice. #Yassa #GenghisKhan #MongolEmpire #SteppeJustice #LegalCode #Juvayni #RashidAlDin #SecretHistoryOfTheMongols #Timur #MongolLaw #CentralAsia #History #FexingoHistory #MongolConquest #SteppeCulture #Tengri #Yam #Paiza Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
