This documentary, is the story of the Mongol Hordes, and how they conquered lands ranging from China to the footsteps of Europe and the Middle East. It covers the life and accomplishments of Genghis Khan and examines the art, culture, science, and technology of Mongol civilization. Genghis Khan left not only a highly trained army, but the beginning of an imperial administrative framework, a system of taxation, a communications network - all of which were built upon and expanded by his successors.
In the middle of the thirteenth century, while Europe was still a patchwork of feudal states, there emerged from the East a vast empire that eventually spanned the breadth of Asia. Before Ghengis Khan, no Mongol nation could be said to exist. Under the banner of one greatest generals in history, the forces of a relatively small and decidedly young nation out-maneuvered and out-thought the armies of Asia and Europe to establish the Mongol Empire.
