GENGIS KHAN
AND THE CONQUESTS
OF THE MONGOL EMPIRE
In 1206 a Mongol warrior called Temujin was
elected supreme head of the tribes with the
name of Genghis Khan. Thus began the epoch
of the great Mongol Empire which stretched
from the Sea of Japan to the Adriatic: the
greatest empire of all time. The arms of conquest
(helmets, chain mail, arrows, grenades,
swords) are testament to the great Mongol
war machine which arrived at the gates of
the Veneto and proposed to the Christian
Europe an alliance against Islam.
