In this episode, Lucas and Luna revisit the Fatimid Caliphate during the devastating crisis of the 1060s, known as al-shidda al-ʿuẓmā, the Great Calamity. While the Nile failed for seven years, the treasury of al-Mustansir was looted by Turkish soldiers, scattering priceless treasures including the legendary golden tree with mechanical singing birds. Lucas explains how the vizier Badr al-Jamali eventually restored order, but the caliphate's wealth and power never fully recovered. The episode also covers the role of the Nilometer on Roda Island, the breakdown of the iqta' tax system, and the arrival of the Seljuk Turks in Baghdad, which shifted the balance of power. Listeners learn about the specific items lost—gold, jewels, silk, and the famous library of Dar al-Hikma—and how the crisis foreshadowed the eventual decline of the Fatimids. A vivid, specific look at a turning point in medieval Islamic history. #FatimidCaliphate #alMustansir #alShiddaAlUzma #BadrAlJamali #Nilometer #RodaIsland #Iqta #DarAlHikma #Cairo #Fustat #SeljukTurks #MedievalIslam #GreatCalamity #EgyptHistory #NileFamine #TreasureLooted #GoldenTree #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
