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.
