Response to Andrews blog

Andrew brings up that the Mongols have no written records left behind because they had no written language. This is interesting because that means that the records of these people were written by others. Those are people that they conquered or did business with or had communication with. Interesting that there were so many "positive" things written by others, though very understandable why the things that are so terrible about these people is so heavily written. No one likes to be defeated, let alone destroyed in such a terrible manner as they did to most people. One has to wonder were this bad or were they maybe misinterpreted by those that they defeated? The Persian Empire maybe might sound similar if they did not have the formal written language that they did. It is so unfortunate that some of these great societies have no record because they did not have written language. If only we could find out what we do not know some how. Unfortunately what we know is what we will most likely ever know.
