[Thinkers Forum] Before the Belt and Road, There Were the Mongols ｜ Marie Favereau
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Historian Marie Favereau joins Thinkers Forum to explain why the Mongols were not just conquerors — but builders of a mobile, connected Eurasian world that still changes how we think about China, Central Asia, and the Silk Road.
We discuss:
02:38: why the story of the Mongol empire is much more than destruction?
09:20: what does a Mongol "city" look like?
11:21: how did the Mongols view us “city" people?
29:22: had the Mongol rulers in China "gone native"?
34:48: how similar were the Mongol and British Empires?
42:01: the Mongol Silk Road--what does it look like?
47:24: the Silk Road cities between China and Europe
56:31: Prof. Favereau's message to the Chinese readers
