The Rip of Baghdad

Mongols rape Baghdad completely. Over a million people massacred. One of the biggest massacres before World War I in human history. So they decide, you know what? We'll leave it as it is and just build the masjid around it. Out of respect to the Khabur, they didn't touch it. Even though things fell inside, who's going to go inside? We don't have permission. And so they let it be. This is where everything changes. The rape of Baghdad that begins the, it's the beginning of the end.
