  • 📜 Ibn Battuta: Mongols and Mystics - Ibn Battuta had finished the hajj but decided that since he was already in the area... why not take a small trip to India? And since he was going to India, he might as well make some side trips along the way! We recount Battuta's travels along the east coast of Africa, the Mongol conquered lands off the Arabian peninsula and some of the stranger sights that he wrote about in his book!

      I believe its the main reason he finds work and gets rich. To afford his wives Dowary. In Islam it's the husband who pays the wife the dowary and it has to be negotiated and agreed on by the wife or there's no marriage. When he divorces them, they keep the dowary as well as any other extra things he couldn't carry on his next trip. A win-win situation imo

    The world today, with mass communication and easy travel, is so much less interesting and uniform then in the olden days.

Nothing to write home about.
