Two #ThisDayInHistory events related to the #Mongol conquests and the #Assassins:
1256: #HülegüKhan took the #NizariIsmaili capital of #AlamutCastle in Iran and scattered the #Hashashins;
1270: #GerdkuhCastle surrendered after 17 years under siege, and the order ceased to exist.

There was a certain time in life when I became convinced that #TheShamen, during their track Phorward, were yelling at me to “watch them squirrels!” #squirrel #evil #maniacs #and #possibly #hashashins
