How barbaric were the “barbarians”? If you ask me, the mongol’s were artists that sculpted the society of our modern day world. Not for what they destroyed, though they brought much destruction all over the continent, but for what they built. They came close to uniting Eurasia into a world empire, and in doing so they spread throughout it technologies like paper, gunpowder, paper money, and even the compass. Now look at where we are now. If it wasn’t for their “barbaric” ways, the world as we know it might not have been as advanced as it is now. Between marvelous inventions, religious tolerance, and the Pax Mongolica period, the Mongols of Genghis Khan became the “founders” of our nations as they are today.
