The Battle of 'Ain Jalut | Mongol vs. Egyptian Mamluk War | History For Sleep

After annihilating Baghdad, the Mongols ride to Syria, leveling and slaughtering defiant cities and their peoples. While the steppe warriors prepare to burn and conquer the ancient land of the pyramids, the mighty Mamluks of Egypt, led by Sultan Qutuz and Baybars, resolve to strike first at the Battle of Ain Jalut (معركة عين جالوت). Rather than break the Mongol Empire, Ain Jalut sparks decades of brutal war and brilliant statecraft between these worthy adversaries.
