Highly recommended--documentary--The Great Moghuls--beautifully filmed, edited, written and narrated.

Descendants of Timur and Genghis Khan (Mongols)

Timur is usually referred to as a Tatar.

Moghuls:

Babur

Akbar

Jehangir (Shah Jahan)

The Jehangir who died, son of Timur, is evidently a predecessor.

(Dara Shiko)--who was heir to Shan Jahan, but was killed by his brother, Aurangzeb.

Of course, this was where I was getting to, but I have spent about 3-4 years reading about Genghiz and his sons and grandsons

and now started reading about Timur, who led the Mongols (later called Moghuls) into India.

BTW--30 years ago, a friend from Bombay (Mumbai), a Parsi, first told me that "Mongols are the same as Moghuls"--only a little more evolved.

I find it all fascinating, and I believe it is a good thing to study and write about other things or places that Burma--which gets so disgusting, Burma Burma Burma

same as what we read about in news daily.

 All from Internet--reconstruction based on exhumed skull of Timur.

The world is just as savage now as in the 12th to 17th century--

only with different (I won't say "better") certainly more dangerous technology, as the cyber wars are showing.
