POST-TIMURID DYNASTIES
    Timur-i-lang (Timur the Lame, "Tamerlane"), 1370-1405, was the last of the great Asian conquerors, assembling an empire that stretched from Syria to India.  His successors rapidly lost most of it, leaving a rump state in Afghanistan.  In the wake of the Timurid decline numerous smaller dynasties sprang up in central Asia.
