This episode dives into the Mongol Yam, the extraordinary postal relay system that held the largest land empire in history together. Lucas and Luna explore how Ögedei Khan formalized the network, with stations every 25-30 miles, fresh horses, and yamchi riders carrying paiza passes that guaranteed safe passage. They discuss how the Yam enabled rapid communication across Eurasia, from Karakorum to Khanbaliq, and how Marco Polo marveled at its efficiency. The conversation also touches on the costs, the spies who used it, and its legacy in modern postal systems. Specific examples include the 14-day ride from China to Mongolia, the use of carved stone markers, and the system's collapse under the Yuan dynasty. #Yam #MongolEmpire #ÖgedeiKhan #PostalSystem #Paiza #Yamchi #Karakorum #Khanbaliq #MarcoPolo #PaxMongolica #SilkRoad #13thCentury #MedievalHistory #CentralAsia #Logistics #Communication #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
