We used to have a continuos ongoing historical quiz in which a person asked a question and the person who answered the question correctly (and confirmed by the original questioner) would get to ask the next question. And repeat. Let's try it again. ;)

Alright, 1st question (easy one) : -

Who founded the Moghul empire?

The Moughal Empire? Tamerlane's standing out in my mind, but I don't think that's right. :confused: Aye, it's been too long...

Nope, Tamerlane's empire was eventually called the Timurid empire (after Timur, his name). His empire stretched across Central Asia whereas the Moghuls were later in time and ruled in India.

You mean Narses, or Belisar. That's matter of taste, but I'd say Narses.
