The Rise and Fall of Rome
Rome didn’t start as an empire. It began as a myth. A story of two brothers — Romulus and Remus — abandoned in the wild, raised by a she-wolf, and destined to build a city that would one day rule the known world. In 753 BC, Romulus is said to have founded Rome, naming it after himself — by blood, by war, and by destiny.

Tamerlane: The Sword of Islam
In the turbulent 14th century, when empires were rising and falling with dramatic swiftness, few figures left as indelible a mark as Tamerlane, also known as Timur.

Known for his brilliant military strategies as well as his brutal methods, Tamerlane was both feared and admired. Though his empire was relatively short-lived, his legacy would influence regions from the Islamic world to Renaissance Europe and shape the political and cultural landscape for centuries.

Genghis Khan: The Scourge of Empires
In the early 13th century, a man from the steppes of Mongolia rose from obscurity to become one of the most feared and successful military leaders the world has ever known. Genghis Khan, born as Temüjin, was not born into power or privilege. Instead, through a blend of charisma, strategy, and ruthlessness, he united the fractured Mongol tribes and launched a series of conquests that would reshape the political landscape of Asia and Europe. By the time of his death in 1227, he had laid the foundation of the Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in human history, spanning over 24 million square kilometers.
