Warrior Empire: The Mughals is a sweeping, in-depth portrait of India’s most colorful, violent, and majestic era.
From
1526 to 1858, this dynasty of nomadic warriors indulged their appetite
for territorial expansion, spreading their rule throughout the Indian
subcontinent.
Though they conquered their kingdom
with crushing brutality, the Mughals were also brilliant technological
innovators and masters of art and architecture.
This
program offers lush, detailed images of Mughal accomplishments such as
the glorious Taj Mahal, palaces, forts, water systems, elaborate
gardens, and richly crafted artwork.
Step-by-step
scientific recreations of advanced Mughal metallurgy and weaponry show
the meticulous production of chain mail armor for a battalion of
elephants, lethally flexible composite bows, rocketry, and sword-smith
techniques passed down through the generations, and still alive today.
Join
us for an enthralling history of the inventive warfare, material
excess, architectural marvels, and cultural flowering that shaped modern
India.
