In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Khazar Khaganate, a powerful but often overlooked empire that dominated the steppes between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea from the 7th to 10th centuries. They focus on the Khazars' remarkable conversion to Judaism, examining how and why their ruling elite adopted a faith that set them apart from both Christian Byzantium and the Muslim Caliphates. The conversation covers the strategic brilliance of the Khazar rulers, who used religious independence to maintain their empire's autonomy, and dives into the fascinating account of the Khazar Correspondence—letters exchanged between a Khazar king and a Jewish dignitary in Cordoba. Lucas also discusses the empire's multicultural society, its role as a trading hub on the Silk Road, and the enduring mystery of its legacy. Along the way, they touch on the Khazar military, including their use of the fearsome 'heavy cavalry' and the 'kaghan' and 'beg' dual-king system. The episode offers a deep, nuanced look at one of history's most intriguing forgotten empires. #Khazars #KhazarKhaganate #Judaism #Caucasus #SilkRoad #ByzantineEmpire #AbbasidCaliphate #KhazarCorrespondence #HasdaiibnShaprut #Bulan #Obadiah #IbnFadlan #MedievalHistory #ForgottenEmpires #SteppeEmpire #History #FexingoHistory #JewishHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
