Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tamerlane Sword of Islam alias Alexader the GreatBrief consensual history version: the utmost warlord Tamerlane or Timur the Lame (1336 - 1405) was a Turco-Mongol conqueror. He led military campaigns across Western, South and Central Asia, the Caucasus and southern Russia, and emerged as the most powerful ruler in the Muslim world after defeating the Mamluks of Egypt and the Ottoman Empire. Tamerlane founded of the Timurid Empire in Persia and Central Asia.Timur tried to restore the Mongol Empire and justified his Iranian, Mamluk, and Ottoman campaigns as a re-imposition of legitimate Mongol control over lands taken by usurpers. In the course of his numerous campaigns that span from Russia to India and to legitimize his conquests, Timur relied on Islamic symbols and language, referred to himself as the "Sword of Islam", and patronized educational and religious institutions. The research of Dr. Fomenko et al leads us to a new understanding of the famous Tamerlane's biography. The oversized Tamerlane figure was a collation of two real historical figures for the most part, the first of them being Temir Aksak, or the "Iron Cripple," from the late XIV century, and the second - Sultan Mehmet II (Mohammed II), the famous XV century conqueror who took Constantinople in 1453. Moreover, not a drop of Ghengis blood in neither of them. Better yet, the figmental figure of Tamerlane idem Timur became the foundation for the consensual 'biography' of the greatest warrior of all times Alexander the Great. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources literally in line with American philosopher Santana's definition: � History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there �. Prescient Saint Augustine warned: 'be wary of mathematicians, particularly when they speak the truth!'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timur (or Tamerlane) is famous as the fourteenth-century conqueror of much of Central Eurasia and the founder of the Timurid dynasty. His reputation lived on in his native lands and reappeared some three centuries after his death in the form of fictional biographies, authored anonymously in Persian and Turkic. These biographies have become part of popular culture. Despite a direct continuity in their production from the eighteenth century to the present, they remain virtually unknown to people outside the region. This remarkable and rigorous scholarly appraisal of the legendary biographies of Tamerlane is the first of its kind in any language. The book sheds light not only on the character of Tamerlane and how he was remembered and championed by many generations after his demise, but also on the era in which the biographies were written and how they were conceived and received by the local populace during an age of crisis in their own history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forgotten story of Central Asia's enlightenment—its rise, fall, and enduring legacy In this sweeping and richly illustrated history, S. Frederick Starr tells the fascinating but largely unknown story of Central Asia's medieval enlightenment through the eventful lives and astonishing accomplishments of its greatest minds—remarkable figures who built a bridge to the modern world. Because nearly all of these figures wrote in Arabic, they were long assumed to have been Arabs. In fact, they were from Central Asia—drawn from the Persianate and Turkic peoples of a region that today extends from Kazakhstan southward through Afghanistan, and from the easternmost province of Iran through Xinjiang, China. Lost Enlightenment recounts how, between the years 800 and 1200, Central Asia led the world in trade and economic development, the size and sophistication of its cities, the refinement of its arts, and, above all, in the advancement of knowledge in many fields. Central Asians achieved signal breakthroughs in astronomy, mathematics, geology, medicine, chemistry, music, social science, philosophy, and theology, among other subjects. They gave algebra its name, calculated the earth's diameter with unprecedented precision, wrote the books that later defined European medicine, and penned some of the world's greatest poetry. One scholar, working in Afghanistan, even predicted the existence of North and South America—five centuries before Columbus. Rarely in history has a more impressive group of polymaths appeared at one place and time. No wonder that their writings influenced European culture from the time of St. Thomas Aquinas down to the scientific revolution, and had a similarly deep impact in India and much of Asia. Lost Enlightenment chronicles this forgotten age of achievement, seeks to explain its rise, and explores the competing theories about the cause of its eventual demise. Informed by the latest scholarship yet written in a lively and accessible style, this is a book that will surprise general readers and specialists alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was a ruthless conqueror, feared throughout Asia, Europe and Africa, and a superb military tactician. Yet he was also a patron of the arts and learning and he turned his capital - Samarkand - into a great city. Arabshah's biography of Tamerlane is that of a contemporary, and was written soon after the events it describes. It is highly detailed and, in contrast to most biographies of Tamerlane, is also highly critical, which makes it especially interesting. It is the major historical source on one of history's great conquerors. This edition carries a new introduction by a leading scholar.

Book excerpt: This is a historical novel of the Turkic conqueror Timur-i Lang (Tamerlane in the West). Countless novels concerning famous conquerors have been written (Alexander, Julius Caesar, Attila, and Genghis Khan) while Timur has been largely ignored. Based on historical accounts, this novel seeks to cover Timur's conquest of West, South, and Central Asia. While focusing on events from the distant past, the story still finds alarming echoes in current events. Until very recently, what contemporaries consider gratuitous violence was unfortunately a tactic of war, and the way of life. A consequential historical reality was that the fate of Asia was in much trouble as Timur solved numerous problems by decapitating his opponents and, per an eyewitness, erected giant pyramids of skulls. It was an effective technique to intimidate and deal with his adversaries. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "It's one thing to read in the abstract about Islam's doctrines of warfare against and subjugation of infidels and its systematic and institutionalized oppression of women -- but it's much more powerful, riveting and memorable to see these things actually happening, unfolding in people's lives. Martin Fruchtman's vivid and gripping historical novel Pyramid of Skulls offers just that kind of glimpse into these ghastly realities as they unfold in the lives of the Muslim conqueror Timur-i-Lang (Tamerlane) and those around him. Meticulously accurate and marvelously evocative, this novel brings to life what it really means for a society to encounter Islam in its fullness -- a message that 9/11 showed is just as relevant, if not more so, than it was in the days of Timur. Martin Fruchtman is to be commended for his keen eye for detail, his dramatic flair, and his clear commitment to the humane values that Timur and his ilk so callously cast aside." - Pamela Geller, author, "Stop Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance" (WND Books) and "The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War On America" (Simon and Schuster). Editor, Publisher Atlas Shrugs, Executive Director AFDI/SIOA It's imaginative and fast paced - Daniel Pipes, (PhD. from Harvard University). Pipes is President of the Middle East Forum, and author of more than 10 books on the Middle East. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ About the Author Martin Fruchtman was born in Los Angeles. He was President of International College of Technology and Business, and dean of the DVS College-Renji Hospital and University Consortium in Shanghai, China.
