Learning about the Moghul Dynasty

[A.D. 1526-1530] His enemies called him Babur the tiger. Babur was a descendant from Genghis Khan. Babur was banished from his homeland by a rival ruler. He heard a sultan conquered the city of Delhi so he wanted it for himself. He attacked the city of Delhi. He attacked with 12,000 horse riders armed with muskets. The sultan defended with 100,000 men and 1,000 war elepants. Although outnumbered, Babur won with his fast horses and muskets. Then during Babur's reign over the city of Delhi, he made a garden. He called it the garden of scattered flowers. The Indians called the garden ram bagh. He fed the garden with a water wheel. You can still see the remains of the garden in the city of Agra in India.

Hi Matthew, I am so glad that your mom and baby brother are home and that you do not have a fever anymore. Your blog is great. I did not know that stuff about the Moghul Dynasty. You are quite smart. Good luck in the 5th grade.
