DVD,104 minutes, no subtitles, region code 4 (Australia, New Zealand, Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico, Oceania and South America). This two-part series recounts the story of the rise and fall of the Mongolian Empire. The Mongols were skilful administrators, the first "global players" who guaranteed the uninterrupted exchange of goods and ideas between the Orient and the West for nearly 200 years. They were also far-sighted, bringing merchants, traders and settlers with extensive agricultural know-how to their lands. Only after the collapse of Mongol influence in the mid-14th century did routes to the Far East become unsafe. Against the backdrop of the breathtaking landscapes of Mongolia, these programs reconstruct life at the court of Genghis Khan and illustrate the Mongolian style of warfare. In 1253 the Pope sent a Franciscan monk to the Mongolian empire, and his report - The Lore of the Mongols - portrays a fascinating, exotic world. A world that still respects ancient traditions today, the Mongols are as accomplished as ever with bow and arrow, the breathtaking riding skills of their ancestors not forgotten but a part of their life; a nomadic people that has kept its knowledge and skills alive and maintained its originality. Episode 1 - The Empire of Genghis Khan Episode 2 - The Heritage of Genghis Khan (When referring to this item please quote stockid 104331)
