Egyptians were the masters of performance and theatricality.

Mongols got this funny idea that they can threaten Egyptians into submission just the way they did that to the Abasids. Egyptians gave them the performance of their life at Ain al-Jalut. The Golden Horde never recovered from that.

Some would say that genetically speaking, the golden horde did what they were supposed to do.

Genghis's DNA is in our blood. But screw them, a fundamentally tribal society slows down the clock of civilization. We could be on stars right now if they haven't had ransacked some of the most scientifically advanced civs of the time.

Why? Baghdad was the center of science at that time. It had schools which accommodated both eastern and western students and scholars. It was by all means the centre of scientific education. People were flocking to these schools. It's not just Baghdad, also Balkh, Herat, Kiev, ..

It's the second part of the narrative that i'm having a hard time believing. The effect that the invasion had on these societies. A discussion about "diversity" can be focused on the first century after the invasion. What did it do to the cultural topography of the medieval world

Also the fact that at 90% of the times they had an easy task capturing nearly-destroyed settlements/cities (in Iran particularly) is a very interesting info about the general situations of the realm by the time of the invasion.

Iran was a different story at that time. It was already in shambles thanks to some incompetent rulers. But places like Kiev and Baghdad were flowing.
