Ancient Empires: The Rise and Fall of the Akkadian, Byzantine, Mongolian and Ottoman Empire

You are in luck, because you are getting extra material out of this combo. The following topics are going to be addressed:

Part 1: The Akkadian Empire is one of the oldest civilizations we know of. Dating back to a few thousand years B.C., it presents itself with some archaeological finds, as well as long-forgotten mysteries and unanswered questions that will probably remain that way.

However, despite of the many secrets this advanced, vast empire holds, it could definitely be worth our time to explore some of the things we do know.

Part 2: The Byzantine Empire has often been overlooked. Yet, this vast empire last for hundreds of years and has had a major impact on the world religions and politics even into the past century.

The Byzantine Empire was heavily influenced by the Romans and the Christian culture. Several centuries A.D. It was marked by conquests, emperors, rules, orthodoxy, and the giant capital of Constantinople (which is now Istanbul).

Part 3: The Mongolian Empire was not to be trifled with! Genghis Khan and his followers conquered a vast part of Asia, Europe, and beyond. There aren’t many people who haven’t heard of these conquerors and their achievement. Honor them or despise them, but at least acknowledge their existence.

How did the Mongol Empire grow so big?

What was it like before the expansion?

And how come Mongolia is an area with such a small population now?

These questions and many others will be answered in this historical guide.

Part 4: The Ottoman Empire was so big and lasted for so long, yet it is one of those empires that many common people have forgotten about. The people who lived in what is now Turkey, and in surrounding areas, were mostly devout Muslims who were defending their beliefs and trying to expand the realm to conquer more territory. Shockingly, the empire was slowly falling apart by the time the 20th century came around the corner.
