When the Mongol Empire stretched from Korea to Hungary, the Yam relay system required weather intelligence to keep riders alive and messages moving. This episode explores how the Mongols integrated astrometeorology into their postal network—using court astronomers like Jamal al-Din and Yeheidie'erding to forecast blizzards, sandstorms, and river freezes. At observatories in Khanbalik and Maragheh, Persian, Chinese, and Uyghur scholars merged rain gauges, star charts, and wind catchers into a communication lifeline. Lucas and Luna unpack the 13th-century 'weather stations' that guided yam riders across the Gobi, the Pamirs, and the Siberian taiga. They also examine the Yassa law that punished false weather reports, and the role of the bitikchi scribes in encoding seasonal data into the paiza passes. From the Yuan shi annals to Rashid al-Din's records, this is a story of how the Mongol Empire turned the sky into a postal asset. #MongolEmpire #YamSystem #Astrometeorology #JamalAldin #Yeheidieerdi #Khanbalik #Maragheh #YuanShi #RashidAldin #Bitikchi #Yassa #Paiza #GobiDesert #SilkRoad #History #FexingoHistory #MedievalScience #WeatherForecasting Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
