When the Nile failed, the wealthiest caliphate on earth collapsed. This episode follows the catastrophic seven-year famine that struck Fatimid Egypt from 1064 to 1072 CE, known as al-shidda al-ʿuẓmā – the Great Calamity. We trace how a chain of low Niles shattered the iqta' system, emptied the legendary treasury built by al-Mustansir's predecessors, and triggered cannibalism, civil war, and the rise of the Armenian general Badr al-Jamali. Lucas and Luna explore the Nilometer readings on Roda Island, the collapse of the dīwān al-jaysh, and how a desperate caliph sold his own palace furnishings to buy bread. This episode offers a ground-level view of what happens when the engine of an empire – its water and grain – simply stops flowing. #FatimidCaliphate #AlMustansir #NileCrisis #GreatFamine #AlShiddaAlUzma #BadrAlJamali #Nilometer #IqtaSystem #MedievalEgypt #Cairo #Fustat #SevenYearFamine #EconomicCollapse #CivilWar #IsmailiHistory #WorldHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
