Answer: Genghis Khan introduced them all to the West. Not Genghis the brutal barbarian of Western history books, but Genghis the great civilizer and lawmaker, whose empire brought each of these innovations to the West, including 13th Century Mongolian-style democracy. As the exhibit strikingly portrays, Genghis's reputation as the greatest conqueror is well-deserved – he dominated three times more land in his lifetime than either Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great, a conquest attested to by the formidable array of swords, bows, arrows, saddles and armor included on display in Genghis Khan. In fact, the historic exhibition showcases hundreds of artifacts from Genghis's 13th Century Empire, the largest such collection ever to tour. Enter the recreation of Karakorum, the walled city, which became the capital of the Mongolian Empire after Genghis Khan's son inherited the kingdom. See how life changed for Mongols once they had vanquished all of their enemies, and arts and diverse religions and cultures flourished as the need for was subsided. The exhibition features loans by private collectors from Mongolia, Azerbaijian and the United States. Lunch will be on own on site.
