Storm From The East
1. Birth Of An Empire
2. World Conquerors
3. Tartar Crusaders
4. Last Khan Of Khans
This
series covers the life and accomplishments of Genghis Khan and examines
the art, culture, science, and technology of Mongol civilization.
Genghis Khan left not only a highly trained army, but the beginning of
an imperial administrative framework, a system of taxation, a
communications network—all of which were built upon and expanded by his
successors. The series was filmed on location in Mongolia and also
features battle re-enactments shot at historical locations throughout
Europe and Asia. 4-part series, 50 minutes each.
This program
traces the life of the fifth Great Khan, Kublai Khan, who preferred to
make his home in China, where he ruled as the first emperor of the Yuan
dynasty. Upon his succession to power, he set out to unite the entire
nation. It took 14 years of war and a lifetime devoted to winning the
hearts and minds of the Chinese, which he largely accomplished by being a
great patron of the arts and sciences. Kublai lacked, however, his
grandfathers military acumen and sent ill-fated military expeditions to
Java, Southeast Asia, and Japan that produced disastrous results. Though
his achievements had world significance, he died a disappointed man
with the empire showing signs of decay.
