The dream of Queen Zaynab, Marrakesh 1072
<p>In the 11th century, the enchanting Berber queen Zaynab Nefzaouia mastered the art of commercial and political negotiation. Today, she tells us about her expansion plans for the Almoravid empire. Its territory included Morocco, the Western Sahara, Mauritania, part of modern Mali and western Algeria, as well as the south of the Iberian Peninsula. There was no city worthy of this empire. Accompanied by her husband, she nourished every day the project of a bubbling capital: Marrakesh. </p><p>Highly cultured, bold and determined, she was also involved in the empire's internal affairs. She breathed new life into women's lives: some were authorised to become involved in politics, to teach, and there were even two women doctors in her time! </p><p>Zaynab and her attentive servant Kaïna give us access to Berber matriarchal traditions, where women were revered as guarantors of well-being and beauty.

The Queen who inherited Genghis Khan's wars, Mongolia, early 13th century
<p>The Mongols are regarded as the greatest conquerors in history: Genghis Khan's empire stretched from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean to the Pacific Ocean, including Far Eastern Europe, the Near East, the Middle East, Central Asia, the Russian steppes and part of Siberia as far as the Baltic Sea, northern India, Mongolia and the whole of China. That's more than 20% of the world's land!</p><p>An unrivalled military tactician, Genghis Khan led a small army, but with the most gifted horsemen and archers, and the best strategists at the helm of his empire.</p><p>These conquests were achieved at the cost of violent conquests, but at the end of the day, the establishment of the Pax Mongolia enabled unprecedented commercial, scientific and artistic exchanges, bridging the gap between East and West. </p><p>Genghis Khan guaranteed his people complete religious freedom, even though he practised shamanism. In fact, he included shamans in all his military campaigns, but called on them above all in the field of health: growth, care of the wounded, protection against the natural elements, but also beauty. </p><p>It is against this backdrop that we meet Alakhai Beki, daughter of Genghis Khan, worthy daughter of her father, woman and warrior.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
