Companion volume to an exhibition at the Museum of Prehistory and Early History (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin) running from October 21, 2026, to April 18, 2027. Under the rule of the Mongol Great Khan Genghis Khan (12061227) and his successors, the largest empire in world history emerged within a remarkably short time, stretching from the Danube Delta to the Korean Peninsula. Through their raids, the Mongols spread fear and terror, gaining a reputation as uncivilized, murderous horse warriors. The exhibition "Genghis Khan and the World of the Mongols," on display in Berlin in 202627, examines the impact of the Mongol conquests in Europe and Mongol rule across vast regions of Eurasia, showcasing outstanding artifacts from Mongolia. The essays offer insights into the "Mongol century"a period between 1250 and 1350 that fundamentally transformed the world. A catalogue of the exhibited objects, featuring illustrations of the most significant pieces, rounds out the publication.
