Mongolian culture has many distinctive features they are closely connected with the life style. From ancient times on Mongolian have lived in the vast lands of living patterns have found reflection in everyday thinking and the culture. Perhaps no empire in history has risen so spectacularly as that of the Mongols. In less then 80 years a band of warriors originally comprised of several men grew to an empire that encompassed all from the Pacific Ocean to Dahob River what is going to be told is the story of perhaps the most dramatic conquest every the story of how the Mongols shattered their own invincibility. The Mongol army was probably the most disciplined well led and effective fighting force ever until well into the age of gunpowder. Being "hummers" all their lives, steppe nomads were masters of the composite bow. Unlike Roman legionaries or hoplites who had to be trained in camps or academics, nomadic warriors were already skilled warriors. Nomadic warriors were well renowned for their horse archers being able to hit targets accurately while galloping on the horse but the "Mongol" army was not merely a steppe army. |
