Ibn Battuta - Plague and Homecoming - Extra History - #5

Having fled India to China, Ibn Battuta found that China's cultures and customs were too different for his comfort. But there was no mad sultan here, and he settled into a small routine for a while. It wouldn't be long before Ibn Battuta was back on the road, fleeing a new foe. This one microscopic in size but larger than anything he has yet to face: the Black Plague.

Some more Timeline I didn't Upload last week. Opinions, anybody? If EH is reading this you may be able to spot the bits I borrowed off of this series. 1337 In the Aztec Empire, the Islamic Scholar Ibn Battuta, while staying in Tenochtitlan as a Guest of the Aztec Tlatoani, Tenoch, Witnesses a Grizzly Spectacle: in One Day, Aztec Priests Ritualistically Sacrifice 10,000 Prisoners to their War God, Huitzilopochtli, Tearing their still ~ Beating Hearts out of their Chests as a Gruesome Offering to the God. Ibn Battuta Greatly Dislikes, and will later Write against the Aztec Religion, as well as many other Aspects of Aztec Life, but for now he keeps his Opinions to himself so as not to Offend his Aztec Hosts. 1348 In the Emirate of Granada, the Islamic Scholar Ibn Battuta Arrives in Granada after Three Years of Travelling in North America to Sell his Wares: Gold, Silver, Exotic Spices, and Vinlandic Furs. He Discovers that Word of his Travels to the Aztec Empire, and the News of Land beyond North America has Preceded him, and, on the Suggestion of the Granadan Emir, Yusuf I, he starts to Dictate a Book about his Adventures: “A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling,” a Title usually shortened to, “The Travels.” 1349 8th November In the Kingdom of Morocco, the Islamic Scholar Ibn Battuta Returns to Tangier by way of Fez and Learns that his Father had Passed away 15 Years Earlier and his Mother a few Months before. After only a few Days in Tangier, he Decides to Travel through Morocco, stopping for a while in Marrakesh, which has almost become a Ghost Town Following the Decision to Move the Capital to Fez after the Black Death. 1369 In the Kingdom of Morocco, the Islamic Scholar and Explorer Ibn Battuta Passes away in his House in the City of Tangier, Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima. He will be Remembered by Future Historians as One of the Greatest Travellers of all Time, and will often be Compared with the likes of Marco Polo, Ferdinand Magellan and Leif Erikson. His Book, “The Travels,” will be Considered an Important Account of much of the 14th Century World, as well as a way of Understanding the Breadth of Islamic Religion and Culture during the Medieval Age. It will also, however, be Remembered for being the Book that Spurs Western Europe into Building Ships Capable of Crossing the Atlantic, and for making China Aware of the Americas through Translations, a Copy of which will, Eventually, find its way into the Possession of a Muslim Eunuch Named Zheng He. The Mayans and the Aztecs themselves, Realising that their Goods are Coveted by Europeans after Ibn Battuta’s Visit, will start sending more Caravans Northwards.
