** Note 004:048. The history has the following example of what this section has stated.

“Abbāsid dynasty: Abbasid dynasty, second of the two great dynasties of the Muslim empire of the caliphate. It overthrew the Umayyad caliphate in 750 CE and reigned as the Abbasid caliphate until it was destroyed by the Mongol invasion in 1258. Under the Abbasids the capital of the caliphate was moved from Damascus to the new city of Baghdad” – Search Engine bing.

The Abbasids Dynasty after 5 centuries of monarchy ended with the ugly scene of the Ganges Khan making a heap of the heads of its leadership and sitting on top of them.
