In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the Yam postal system adapted to the extreme altitudes of the Tibetan Plateau. They discuss the use of yaks and dzos as pack animals, the construction of stone relay stations called dzong, and the roles of local tribes like the Hor and Tangut in maintaining routes. The episode covers the reign of Kublai Khan's grandson, Prince Temür, who oversaw a key expansion of relay posts into Ü-Tsang, and the challenges of passes like the Tanggula, where yamchi faced altitude sickness and blizzards. Listeners learn about the innovations in high-altitude forage and the use of tsampa as travel rations. The conversation also touches on the religious significance of routes to Sakya Monastery and the integration of Tibetan Buddhist monks as couriers. This episode offers a vivid look at a little-known facet of Mongol imperial logistics. #Yam #MongolEmpire #TibetanPlateau #KublaiKhan #PrinceTemür #Yak #Dzo #Dzong #TanggulaPass #Hor #Tangut #ÜTsang #Sakya #Tsampa #AltitudeSickness #SteppeHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
