One of the best serie!
I only know him for what he did to Bagdad and though I feel like the video was very generous toward him, it's good to have others sides of the argument brought out from a man I don't have the best friend impression of.
But I still don't think you can claim that the work of his descendence (especially one as distant as his Indian descents) makes him a good ruler. I don't think it should have been part of the video about him at all.

Do Lucius Cornellius Sulla. The prototype for Julius Caesar: Was he a tyrant who marched on Rome and made himself dictator, killing his opponents with proscriptions; or was he a messianic figure, trying to save the Roman Republic by any means necessary, who was happy to give up power when the job was done (as evidenced by his retirement? This would make a very interesting video.

When Tamerlane saw captured Bayezid the Thunderbolt, he laughed. Bayezid, offended by this laugh, told Timur that it was indecent to laugh at misfortune; to which Timur replied: It is clear then that fate does not value power and possession of vast lands if it distributes them to cripples: to you, the crooked, and to me, the lame.

I'd love to see one of these on Eamon de Valera. He's not really that famous on a global scale but here in Ireland he's quite a controversial figure with some people thinking of him as a hero while some people blame him for a lot of the problems Ireland faced after independence and the assassination of Michael Collins

Timur (Tamerlane): Live to glorify Turkishness, break the hand that raises a sword against the Turk!
.
Also Timur: .killed thousands of Turkic People
.
Anyway
He was a war genius and one of the greatest leader of all time.
Nowhere in history that written Timur was defeated.

I like when people are presented with such content.
It shows that if we don't understand someone and have little knowledge about them, then we usually tend to perceive them as irrational barbarians.
But we are all people plus-minus but are subject to different history

I am Georgian, Timur invaded my country 5 times. Every time he was forced to leave Georgia with high casualties and without reaching his goals, and yet we never knew so much bloodshed and devastation neither before, nor after him. Yes, he was a butcher!

When taimur plundered delhi, it is said that it took nearly a century for the city to recover. And the the only reason he attacked delhi was because according to him ' The muslim rulers of delhi are very liberal toward their non muslim subjects'

I like to wonder when Uzbekistan and Mongolia will be required to demolish their monuments to Timur and Genghis Khan as they would like to demolish monuments to European tyrants. After all, they killed more people than Leopold II
