I am a teacher in the Middle East, and this is an awesome video. It packs a wealth of information in a very short period. Naturally there are omissions but given the time constraints. Excellent video!
As an Egyptian, and an avid student of Mamluke history, I am glad to see a video specifically dedicated to this fascinating and glorious era in the history of Egypt and the Levant.

Thank you for this video, got an assignment on these and was freaking out about it. Very well-made video, broke down the topics well, and had touches of humor here and there. In my opinion, you might even rival Mr. Heimler. Once again thanks, keep up the great work. :)
Wow these are genuinely awesome. I'm a history teacher in AZ. With all the craziness this year, I didn't even realize that I was slowly forgetting how fun this is. This was the reminder I needed :) Thanks for the humor and for bringing back the fun of the story, even when times are tough. The organization of content, clear connections to the big picture, ease of understanding - all will be perfect for students. Thank you for sharing! Would love to see more.
I have multiple TH-cam accounts, I subbed to your Chanel using them all! you're so freaking amazing, im really regretting the fact that I found your Chanel 1 day before the world history ap exam
So happy, that this lighthearted, non-boring video exists, this makes my APWH so much easier. One correction, though, the pope has authority over the catholic church, so yes, the pope has authority.
What’s crazy is that in set 1 of the ap world exam for 2023 is that the Mamluks were one of the saqs you had to do so you did good picking them as an example
Thank you so much for this video! I have to do a whole project on these guys and I had no idea who they were- but now I am more educated and see how cool these dudes were
Awesome content! But to be fair, why would you pick the Turks over the Mongols? The Mamluks did defeat the Mongols twice (Battle of Ain Jalut 1260 and Battle of Homs 1281). Interestingly, the one thing the Samurai and the Mamluks have in common is they're the only ones that really put a stop on the growing border of the Mongol empire. But they never met each other.
You can't disrespect my boy Louis IX like that. Only French King to be canonized, lead Capetian France to its height, arguably most beloved king of France (Could make argument for Henry IV) and was devoted to his people. Love the video, but I will not stand for St. Louis slander
HAHA. I KNEW SOMEONE WOULDN'T LIKE MY LOUIS-BASHING. BUT, ANY OF THE CRUSADERS ARE NOT SUPER HIGH ON MY LIST. BUT, TO EACH THEIR OWN! TO BE FAIR, I ONLY REALLY KNOW A HANDFUL OF LOUIS' SO, MAYBE HE IS ONE OF THE BETTER ONES?!?
@@Freeman_pedia : As Egyptians, it’s easy for us to forgive ol’ Louis IX, since his “crusade” ended pretty well for our country (thank God!). It was a hard fought affair, and with some better organization and less bumbling, Louis IX’s army might have conceivably reached Cairo. This was especially the case, in light of the relative chaos and indecision that reigned on the Ayyubid/Mamluke side, in light of Sultan as-Salih Ayyub’s untimely death, and the fact that his only male heir (Prince Turan Shah) wasn’t even in Egypt at the time (the prince had been serving as the governor of the fortress city of Hisn Kayfa, in the Jazirah region in the borderlands of Iraq and Anatolia). This was while the Crusade of Louis IX was rampaging through the Nile Delta, and while the flags of the French King were flying over the Egyptian city of Damietta (or more properly: Dumyatt). To his credit, Turan Shah did manage to return in time, to play a part in the final climactic battles of this pivotal campaign. Thankfully in any case, when the going got really tough, the Ayyubid/Mamluke armies managed to pull themselves together, and launched a vigorous and well coordinated counteroffensive against the crusading army. Louis IX’s army was utterly smashed, with every last man being either killed in battle, taken captive, defecting, or eventually surrendering alongside King Louis and his entourage. Thanks to the efforts of the Ayyubid/Mamluke army, Egypt-and the Islamic World-gained a stunning victory, took Europe’s most important king prisoner, and was paid a very literal _king’s ransom_ for its trouble. Best of all, the house where the King of France was held prisoner while his ransom was scraped together-the Ibn Luqman House in the city of al-Mansourah-still exists. The Ibn Luqman House is open for visitors, and everyone from tourists to schoolchildren can inspect the very house where Louis IX got to enjoy some fine local post-battle hospitality-I’ve heard that the chains he was kept in are still there to see. It was certainly nice of him to pay his bill in full, before his departure. And of course, it’s easy to be magnanimous towards a defeated enemy, is it not? Alas, for King Louis, he never learned his lesson. He continued his crusading mischief in the Levant, but it was further west where his final chapters played out. Louis IX met his end underneath the walls of yet another Muslim city, this time with Tunis having the honor of seeing him laid low, thanks to handiwork of particularly vicious dysentery epidemic. Stuff happens, ya know?
