In episode 75 of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna explore the overlooked engineering marvels of the Mongol Empire: bridges. From the treacherous Yellow River crossings to the stone arch bridges of Persia and the floating bridges of the Yuan dynasty, the Mongols built infrastructure that tied the largest land empire together. Learn how teams of Chinese engineers, Persian masons, and local laborers constructed bridges that enabled trade, troop movement, and communication across the Silk Road. Discover the Battle of the Yellow River Bridge 1232, where Mongol engineers used pontoons to outflank the Jin army. Lucas explains the role of the yam system in bridge maintenance, the use of tamgha taxes for construction, and how Khubilai Khan's reign saw a bridge-building boom. The episode ends with the mystery of the vanished bridge of Karakorum—a legend of a stone bridge across the Orkhon River. This is a deep dive into the physical links that made the Mongol Empire work. #MongolBridges #SilkRoad #MongolEmpire #YellowRiver #KhubilaiKhan #YamSystem #BattleOfTheYellowRiverBridge1232 #YuanDynasty #OrkhonRiver #Karakorum #ChineseEngineering #PersianMasons #FloatingBridge #Pontoons #Tamgha #PaxMongolica #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
