Mongolia - the Land of Felt

hughdonoghue106

From about 400 B.C., felt was used so much in Central Asia that it was known as "the land of felt."




Genghis Khan (1162 – 1227) founded the Mongol Empire, which become the largest empire in human history. His goal was to unite "the people who live in felt tents."






Genghis Khan's armies slaughtered more people than Stalin and Hitler combined, eliminating about 40 million during his rule.





On Genghis Khan’s order, he was buried in an unmarked grave at an unknown location in Mongolia. In order to conceal the location, his funeral escort executed everyone in their path.
