MAMLUK EPISODE 01!! Sejarah Berdirinya Kerajaan Mamluk di Mesir | Para Budak yang Menguasai Dunia
Summary
TLDRThis video delves into the history of the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt, a government formed by former slaves trained as soldiers under the Ayyubid dynasty. The Mamluks rose to power following the death of the last Ayyubid ruler, Turansyah, and the short reign of Shajarat al-Durr. The Mamluks, particularly under leaders like Baybars, played a critical role in defending the Islamic world from the Mongols, defeating them at the Battle of Ain Jalut. The dynasty is also notable for its cultural and economic growth, as well as its contributions to architecture, science, and medicine, making Egypt a thriving center for knowledge and trade during their rule.
Takeaways
- 😀 The Mamluk dynasty in Egypt succeeded the Ayyubid dynasty, which was founded by Saladin to free Palestine from Crusader control.
- 😀 'Mamluk' refers to a slave or servant who was bought, trained, and used as a soldier or government official, distinct from the term 'Abd' meaning a slave born into servitude.
