About this course

An interdisciplinary and thematic approach to the history of human culture and ideas. Major eras covered span from roughly 500-1600 CE and include the pre-modern cultures of India's Rajput, Japan's Samurai, Northern European Vikings, Christendom's Crusaders, Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire, the Aztecs of Mesoamerica, and the Assassins of the Islamic Golden Age.
