Siege of Damascus (1400)
==Background==
Timur was one of the most powerful Central Asian rulers since Genghis Khan. By long and relentless fighting, he sought to rebuild the Mongol Empire of his predecessors.〔Beatrice Forbes Manz, "Temür and the Problem of a Conqueror's Legacy," ''Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society'', Third Series, Vol. 8, No. 1 (Apr., 1998), 25; "In his formal Temur continued throughout his life as the restorer of Chinggisid rights. He even justified his Iranian, Mamluk and Ottoman campaigns as a reimposition of legitimate Mongol control over lands taken by usurpers ...".〕〔Michal Biran, "The Chaghadaids and Islam: The Conversion of Tarmashirin Khan (1331–34)," ''Journal of American Oriental Society'', Vol. 122, No. 4 (Oct. - Dec., 2002), 751; "Temur, a non-Chinggisid, tried to build a double legitimacy based on his role as both guardian and restorer of the Mongol Empire.".〕
Before the end of 1399, Timur started a war with the Mamluk sultan of Egypt Nasir-ad-Din Faraj and invaded Mamluk Syria. Timur's forces took Aleppo〔Runciman, p. 463.〕 He massacred many of the inhabitants, ordering the building of a tower of 20,000 skulls outside the city.〔(Battle of Aleppo@Everything2.com ).〕 After taking Aleppo, Timur continued his advance and besieged Damascus.
