Our new animated historical documentary will describe the Rise of the Tang Dynasty in China and the reign of Taizong, who managed to build a strong realm that ruled China and beyond for a few centuries, reopened the Silk Road and defeated the Gokturks.

This video was suggested by our patron Qihan Long. He also helped in the translation of the Chinese sources and have created the subtitles for the video
