Before the oil barons and the Russian conquest, Azerbaijan was ruled for nearly 700 years by a dynasty you've probably never heard of: the Shirvanshahs. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the rise and fall of these Persianate kings who built Baku's Old City, commissioned the Maiden Tower, and turned a small Caspian principality into a cultural powerhouse. We follow the dynasty from its origins in the 9th century under the Yazidi family, through the golden age of the 12th-century poet Khaqani, to the devastating Mongol invasions, and finally the Shirvanshahs' last stand against the Safavids in 1538. Along the way, we visit the crumbling palace complex in Baku, decode the mysterious inscriptions on the Maiden Tower, and ask why this long-lived dynasty is so little remembered today. If you've walked through Icheri Sheher and wondered who built those stones — this is their story. #Shirvanshahs #Azerbaijan #Baku #IcheriSheher #MaidenTower #Khaqani #Safavid #Mongol #Caucasus #Shirvan #PalaceOfTheShirvanshahs #Persianate #MedievalHistory #IslamicHistory #Yazidi #Derbent #History #FexingoHistory Fexingo founder and producer: Ibnul Jaif Farabi Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
