Hikma History | How The Timurids Created A Renaissance Amidst Civil Wars | History Documentary @HikmaHistory | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Commonly in history, there has to be a period of political stability that is subsequently accompanied by great cultural advancements. The Timurid Empire, established by the legendary Turco-Mongolian conqueror Timur, did not adhere to this rule. Almost immediately from Timur’s death in 1405, his progeny were locked in constant conflict with each other as each sought to assert their dominance over Timur’s vast realm. This lack of political stability did not prevent the Timurids from supervising a renaissance that saw cities like Herat and Samarkand become icons of artistic glory and scientific progress. As the Timurids went to war with each other, beautiful monuments were erected, schools of art were opened up and astronomical observatories were established.
