    I've heard about the Mongols destroying Baghdad before, but never really looked into what happened. It's hard to imagine living in a city that had been around for centuries, with all its libraries, scholars, and history, and then seeing it fall apart so quickly. What I keep thinking about is the ordinary people who had nothing to do with the decisions being made but lost everything anyway. And I wonder how much knowledge disappeared that we'll never even know existed. We usually learn about these events through the kings, generals, and battles, but rarely hear much about the people who actually lived through them.
