	Old World Contacts/Armies/Tamerlane
		According to the Mamluk historian Ibn-Khaldun, Tamerlane was "highly intelligent and very perspicacious, addicted to debate and argumentation about what he knows and also about what he does not know." He was also a dedicated patron of the arts, a role he pursued with terrifying determination.
		Tamerlane’s exploits also helped shift the focus of cross-cultural commercial interaction from the traditional caravan roads of the Asian hinterland to the safer maritime byways of the Indian Ocean.
		The nature of the military campaigns that the Mongol warrior Tamerlane conducted in the late 1300s, and the events that triggered them provide one clear illustration of the subtle ways in which armed conflict, trade and commerce, and the movement of settlers are linked together as agents of cross-cultural contact and change.

	bookideas.com: Tamerlane by Justin Marozzi
		Tamerlane, Timur the Lame, the Amir Themur, one of history’s greatest conquerors, is known by several names but, generally, known very little in the west.
		Indeed, he argues that Tamerlane can scarcely be considered to be a Muslim at all, in that he not only recognised some of the shamanic practices of his Mongol predecessors but also ignored Islamic precepts whenever it suited him.
		The endless story of murder, destruction and looting is a reminder of just how many peoples’ lives have, throughout history, been ended prematurely and with violence and horror and how the slender achievements of their lives have been squandered on the whim of soldiers.
