The Underdog and the Power Strife on the Steppes

The paper completes Prester John's saga. The echo of the power strife on the steppes reaches West European intellectuals, who remake it in the contest between the overwhelming Christian overlord and a budding pagan rival. The underdog wins this geopolitical game to become the ruler of Asia while his adversary demises. I also added the Bottom Line and the Notes to the whole unit.

and is open for discussion, in which you are welcome to participate. Interestingly, that after uploading this work on the Academia site, I gained a fan, The International Institute for the Study of the Nomadic Civilizations of UNESCO. 

I presented my interpretation of Prester John's saga in Unit V of my book, "The Enchanting Encounter with the East," published in 2022 by Authorhouse and in eight papers on my Academia site.  

I intend to continue uploading the rest of the chapters of my second book: Unit VI, with four episodes. Only then can I estimate my current potential as a writer. I plan to get close to 10 K views. Until then, I hope to present the opening parts of my third project about shipping in the medieval and renaissance Mediterranean.
