There are no accurate answers to your questions!. Timur, aka Tamarlane, is said to be the grandson of a grandson (Kublai) of Ghengis Khan!. He was born into a Turkic tribe, and became a Muslim, unlike his predecessors!.

He was fierce beyond doubt!. One story is that his tomb has an epitaph: "If I were alive, the world would tremble!."

Many of the ancient cities of the Middle East Timur sacked, pillaged, plundered, and massacred their residents!. How many has guesses ranging from 7 to 17 million!. That range itself is dubious, but who was counting!. One of his largest cities destroyed, Baghdad, was said to hold 100,000!. But he and his army stayed after wards, and living in the midst of that number of rotting corpses is most unlikely!. Cremation would have taken the army's efforts full time for months!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
