Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-09 00:00:00 Cameo Ziemer The Shahnama, the great epic poem of Iran, contains the mythic tales of ancient Persia’s kings and heroes. Through the ages, the epic has been illustrated by every Persian dynasty worth its salt. Even the Monguls. Far more than just barbarian invaders from China, Genghis Khan and the Mongul horde made great contributions to courtly Islamic history through their descendants, the Ilkhanid and Moghul dynasties. In this book, Oleg Grabar explains how the illustrations of the Great Mongol Shahnama hint at the contemporary history of the court, with many famous illustrations of the ancient Persian tales recast with the portraits of Mongol kings and queens reenacting the same tableauxs from their own contemporary history. The book is so good it is worth its price alone for the many dishy tales of courtly intrigue it contains involving the ambitious Mongol queens.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-19 00:00:00 Marissa Kula This book is about 100 event that shaped the world history today. This is a really good book I can recommend this book to people who want to know more about history. This give me a more understanding about humans history and all the trouble that humans have been over history. Some event that I found interesting for me is, the Hebrew religion. The Hebrew were the only religion that only pray to one God. This is something interesting because back in time most of the religion used to workshop to many God, but the Hebrew also known as the Jews were the only religion to workshop only to one God. This is related to christianity. In my opinion, I think christianity ideas come from Judaism.
