Tamerlane, the Splendid, conqueror from golden Samarkand, ravaged the known world, from India to the Black Sea, from Cathay to Venice in the 14th Century. Tamerlane, the Warrior, moved his fighting hordes across empty miles of mountains and deserts. To the sound of kettle drums, and the clashing of cymbals, and the deep braying of trumpets, he rode into battle, wearing silken robes and a golden helmet. Tamerlane, the Barbaric, slaughtered whole populations, erected pyramids of human skulls, forced naked captive women to serve his soldiers wine, and fed his lusts on the beaty of his mad son's wife.
