JENGHIS KHAN AND TIMURLANE
The Mangoles were the earliest invaders, not only of India,
but the whole world.
They lived in the desert, in tents made of horse skin. They
ate horse’s meat, rode these animals and were good fighters.
They have good, strong white teeth.
In the winter, to escape from the extreme cold, they came
down to the plains of the southern countries.
The people in India etc. lived with minimal security. Their
wealth was in gold, as other things are perishable. The Mangoles looted them and
took away gold. There is a story, that they defeated the ruler of Cairo, but
could not sleep in the closed space of the palace rooms. So they pitched their
tents in the open!
Winter favoured the movement of horses, as the rivers were frozen and they could easily
ride on.
The Chinese built the
great wall, to escape from Mangoles.
