Mongols did do biological warfare during their conquests
You talking about lobbing dead things into castles during sieges? Not to excuse the Mongols, but everyone was doing that the moment fortified cities and catapults became a thing. I don't know if the Mongols invented it or learned it from someone else. Could also be a case of convergent evolution. Torching crop fields and sowing them with salt was another tactic used everywhere to limit enemies ability to wage war.
I'd be curious to know if this stuff did start with the Mongols. They were known for being really good at fucking up people's shit.
lobbing dead things into castles im not sure if the mongols invented it, but they did invented the a unique way to make poison arrows by mixing poop and rotten food in their quivers so that their arrows would be cover by deadly infections was were sure dead to anyone struck by them and in some cases cause a plague
also they poison waterways but thats something people before them had done before
Ah I didn't know about the poop quivers. Poison darts have been a thing for a long time. I don't know when the use of poison dart frogs started in South America.
Ooh thanks, I'll look into that
