HD Documentary - Eurasian Road (8) Kublai Khan's Great Eurasian Empire ◆ In the vast plains that stretched endlessly, 800 years ago, a great empire that shook world history was born here. It was Mongolia. Mongolia's fierce momentum swallowed up the Islamic Empire and even extended its power to the Christian world. Even the great empire of China could not avoid Mongolia. Mongolia, which stretched 9,000 kilometers from east to west, is recorded as the empire with the largest territory in human history. The protagonist who created the heyday of the empire was the great Khan Kublai. A map that allows us to understand Kublai's world view was recently discovered in Japan. It was the first time that a map depicting the Eurasian continent in such detail had been discovered. Japan and the Korean Peninsula are drawn in the east. The enormous China is drawn in the center, and for the first time in history, the entire African continent is marked on the map. What was Kublai Khan's great ideal contained in the map? #Eurasia #KublaiKhan #GreatEmpire
