00:00Did you know a woman once ran one of the most powerful empires on earth while her husband got all
00:04the credit?
00:04Nur Jahan married Emperor Jahangir in 1611.
00:07He was brilliant but broken, lost to opium and wine.
00:11So she stepped in.
00:12She signed imperial orders.
00:13She commanded armies.
00:15She had coins struck with her own name, something almost no woman in the Islamic world had ever done.
00:20Officially, she was just a wife.
00:22But the nobles knew the truth.
00:24The real throne was hers.
00:25History just forgot to say so.
