Who were the greatest of the Great Mughals?
Channel Image Thumbnail
rankmylist
The Mughal emperors, from the early 16th century to the early 18th century, built and ruled the Mughal Empire on the Indian subcontinent, mainly corresponding to the modern countries of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. The Mughals were a branch of the Timurid dynasty of Turkic origin from what is now Uzbekistan. Their power rapidly dwindled during the 18th century and the last of the emperors were deposed in 1857, with the establishment of the British Raj. Mughal emperors were of direct descent from Timur (generally known in the West as Tamerlane the Great), and also affiliated with Genghis Khan, because of Timur’s marriage with a Genghizid princess. The Mughals also had significant Indian Rajput and Persian ancestry through marriage alliances, as emperors were born to Rajput and Persian princesses. Only the first two Mughal emperors, Babur and Humayun, were fully Central Asian (Turki or what is now known as Uzbek), whereas Akbar was half-Persian (his mother was of Persian origin), Jahangir was half-Rajput and quarter-Persian, and Shah Jahan was three-quarters Rajput. Nevertheless, all Mughals were of Turkic seeds. At their Empire's greatest extent in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Mughals controlled much of the Indian subcontinent, extending from Bengal in the east to Kabul and Sindh in the west, Kashmir in the north to the Kaveri basin in the south. Its population at the time has been estimated as between 110 and 150 million (a quarter of the world's population), over a territory of more than 3.2 million square kilometres (1.2 million square miles). It was the second largest empire to have existed in the Indian subcontinent, spanning approximately four million square kilometres at its zenith, after only the Maurya Empire, which spanned approximately five million square kilometres. The Mughal Empire ushered in a period of proto-industrialization, and around the 17th century, Mughal India became the world's largest economic power, accounting for 24.4% of world GDP, and the world leader in manufacturing, producing 25% of global industrial output up until the 18th century. The Mughal Empire is considered "India's last golden age". Here is a list of all the rulers who ascended to the throne of Mughal Emperor. Who do you think had the greatest impact on the course of world history? Rank these rulers from most influential to least.

Best Mortal Kombat Characters
Channel Image Thumbnail
rankmylist
Mortal Kombat is a video game franchise that requires no introduction. Originally developed by Midway Games' Chicago studio in 1992, it and its sequels remain a staple among aficionados of fighting games after a quarter century. At the time of its release the game was unique for its fantasy-horror themed fighting genre and spawned many sequels and a media franchise consisting of several action-adventure games, films (animated and live-action with its own sequel), and television series (animated and live-action). Other spin-offs include comic book series, a card game and a live-action tour. Along with Capcom's Street Fighter and Bandai Namco Entertainment's Tekken, Mortal Kombat has become one of the most successful fighting franchises in the history of video games. As of June 2000, the franchise had generated $5 billion in revenue, making it one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. The series has a reputation for high levels of bloody violence, including, most notably, its Fatalities (finishing moves, requiring a sequence of button inputs to perform). The Fatalities, in part, led to the creation of the ESRB video game rating system. The series takes place in a fictional universe consisting of eighteen surviving realms. The Elder Gods decreed that the denizens of one realm could only conquer another realm by defeating the defending realm's greatest warriors in ten consecutive Mortal Kombat tournaments. The series features scores of player characters. Among them are Earth's humans and cyborgs, good and evil deities, and denizens of Outworld and other realms. Here is a list of all the characters that appeared in the Mortal Kombat Franchise - Rank them from most favorite to least to tell us who ought to be the real champion of Mortal Kombat!

Who will win the Iron Throne on "Game of Thrones"?
Channel Image Thumbnail
rankmylist
Even with the premier of Season 8 of HBO's Game of Thrones on April 14th 2019, after all of these years, it is still virtually impossible to guess which contender for the Throne will end up on top, if anyone. Of all the contenders, there are several plausible theories about who will be sitting on the Iron Throne when the series finally concludes. As Cersei Lannister famously remarked - "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die." And die they did, breaking many fan's hearts and shocking viewers with gore, twists and turns. We do have some clues from the way Season 7 ended. A temporary truce was forged between the major houses to fight off the danger of the Night King and the White Walkers to the North. So will Jon Snow, the reluctant King in the North and the heir apparent of Rhaegar Targaryen, sit on the throne? Or will it be his newfound lover (and aunt) Daenerys, who has devoted every waking moment and the full might of her Dragons to that mission since the end of Season 1. Or will Cersei and her machinations prevail against all odds and the prophecy of the Valonqar? And since this is Game of Thrones, you can never count out a wildcard winner either. Gendry, the illegitimate son of Robert Baratheon, is certainly such a dark horse contender. And what of Bran Stark, who could possibly be the one and the same as the Night King himself? This list describes the various ways in which each of the still surviving characters might end up on the Iron Throne. But who do you think will finally sit on that veritable seat of power in Westeros, forged by swords and molded by Dragon-fire? Rank this list of possible contenders and let the world know by sharing your ranking. Don't forget to post your own theories and ideas in the comments below and subscribe for more GOT content.
