He Murdered 5% of the World and Vanished From History

He may have killed more people than any conqueror before the modern age, roughly 17 million, close to 5% of everyone alive on earth at the time. He built towers from the skulls of the fallen. And yet almost no one knows his name. This is the story of Tamerlane, and the empire of fear he built from India to the gates of Europe.
