The Mongol Yam relay system is famous for its riders and horses, but what about the engineers who built the roads and bridges that made it possible? This episode follows a single construction project: the 13th-century bridge over the Karakorum River in Mongolia, engineered by Chinese Muslim architect Yeheidie'erding under Ögedei Khan. We explore how Yuan dynasty bridge-building techniques—like pile-driving and stone arches—were adapted for the steppe, and how local materials like tamarisk wood and sheepskin floats shaped Mongol infrastructure. Featuring the 1251 bridge census ordered by Möngke Khan, the role of captured Song engineers, and the logistical puzzle of moving timber across the Gobi. A fresh look at the hidden labor behind the world's first global postal network. #MongolEmpire #YamSystem #BridgeBuilding #Yeheidie'erding #ÖgedeiKhan #MöngkeKhan #KarakorumRiver #YuanDynasty #SongDynasty #SteppeInfrastructure #ChineseEngineering #PostalRelay #HistoryOfEngineering #CentralAsia #13thCentury #Infrastructure #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
