Historical records of Chinghis Khan’s empire translated into Mongolian. Historical records compiled more than 600 years ago about the empire of Chinghis Khan have been translated from classical Chinese into the Mongolian language. The records consist of 15 books with 210 volumes, and chronicle the rise and fall of the Mongol Empire. They were compiled in 1370 AD at the order of the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which ended Mongolian rule in China. Over the past six centuries, historians have made several attempts to translate the books, written in Classical Chinese, into Mongolian. But the efforts were interrupted due to difficulty and war. In March 2014, sixteen experts in Mongolian history teamed up to start translation. They believe the historical records could help Mongolian people better understand their own history. The books will be published in the next two years. One of the largest empires in history, the Mongol Empire, later known as the Yuan Dynasty in China, once extended from China to Central Europe. Its founder, Chinghis Khan, unified nomadic tribes before conquering large areas of Eurasia.
