This lavish docu-drama retraces the real life and personality of Temudjin, the warrior they called Genghis Khan. Using the "Secret History of the Mongols", the only written account on Genghis Khan, this program recreates the key moments in the life of the infamous Mongol leader: fierce battles and violent sieges, political triumphs and personal crossroads, all set against the dramatic landscapes of Mongolia.
The Empire of Genghis Khan: Part One of Empires Of The Mongols focuses on the life of Genghis Khan. Raised by his mother under the name of Temujin in relative poverty, his military skills soon won him acclaim and earned him the title of khan. Once elected, Genghis Khan defeated the neighbouring tribes of the Steppes and united them under him. With a mighty army he set out to pillage the rest of Asia and to expand his realm into northern China and to the fringes of Europe. At war he was a feared opponent and the barbarity of his forces was legendary, yet he had another side. He founded a capital city, laid down a code of law and fostered an exchange of trade and culture with the surrounding nations. Empires Of The Mongols takes a look at modern-day Mongolia to convey the harshness of the climate and the difficulties that would have faced a man such as Genghis Khan.
The Heritage of Genghis Khan: Part Two of Empires Of The Mongols starts in 1254 AD and follows the heirs of Genghis Khan and their way of life seen through the eyes of the Flemish Franciscan monk William Rubruck. The Franciscan monk travelled over 4,000 kilometres in the hope of promoting the conversion of the Mongols to Christianity. While he did not achieve his goal, he left a lively, carefully observed record of his travels. The Lore of the Mongols is a detailed description of Mongka, Khan�s palace at Karakorum and portrays a fascinating, exotic world of a nomadic people. The Mongols� way of life described in detail has largely remained unchanged to this day. Empires Of The Mongols looks at how archaeologists are using Rubruck�s description of the palace to try to locate the palace today, particularly the wonderful 4-metre-high silver tree that dispensed wine, mead and fermented mare's milk.
Among the greatest military leaders of all time was Genghis Khan. His penchant for military expansion produced one of the largest and best-controlled empires in the history of the world. This program tells the story of his conquests that garnered him land holdings throughout the known world of Asia and Europe. The program uses art graphic effects, artworks, writings, and the opinions of historians to paint a picture of the commander, who was both military strategist and governor of a vast empire.
