I would've thought the Hashashins would've been the non-meme answer.

I’m biased because I’m partially Hispanic, but Egypt keeps hogging all the pyramid attention. Like, come on guys: Mesoamericans built pyramids too!

Well your people were barbaric savages just like Mongols.

The Mongols weren't barbarious savages, they introduced many technological advances to Europe, and killed a shit load of Muslims.

they introduced many technological advances to Europe

Such as? Genuinely curious, I recent historiography has steadily made the introduction of many Chinese technologies into Europe centuries prior to the Crusades, though obviously the Mongols stabilizing the Silk Road for a century would help in any event.

They were savage though, even by contemporary standards. But savagery and refinement aren't mutually exclusive.

Iirc it is mostly boring stuff like primitive printing methods, and maybe they introduced gunpowder? Europe certainly didn't get it through the Middle East as they had cultural views against its use, even into the 16th century and the first European mention of the stuff was years after fighting the Mongols where they probably used it against them.

The Mongols might have been deadly, but not particularly brutal. They did not flay children alive like the Aztecs, and more or less chilled out after a territory was conquered.

Its Freda so its likely to be no even though the thesis is correct that the big medievalists on youtube are slightly odd...

TBH, the three people in that thumbnail have issues worth discussing (many of which were done in this thread numerous times), but I have very little faith in Fredda.

Okay I made it as far as a joke about "an hour-long essay about why women don't belong in video games" and realized I wasn't dealing with a deep thinker.
