We discuss his early life, how he rose to power, and his forging of the world's largest ever contiguous land empire. This is a very interesting story, one that I very much enjoyed researching and writing.</p><p><br></p><p>As you may have guessed, there is a lot of talk about gratuitous violence, rape, and slavery. So if any of that isn't your cup of tea, maybe take a pass on this one. We won't fault you for it.</p><p><br></p><p>If you'd like to contact the show, feel free to reach out on Instagram (spectrumoflifepodcast), on X (@OurSpectrumPod), or email us at spectrumoflifepodcast@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you!</p><p><br></p><p>My sources for this episode are britiannica.com and history.com, as well as various other history articles and shows. The music is from Monument Studios. Terry comes to us from the depths of Destiny's phone. Terrifying.</p>","author_name":"Richard McCardle"}
