Karakorum



Karakorum was the capital of the Mongol Empire under the great Chinggis Khan.Once Chinggis Khan had conquered or captured a civilization of people, he took a great interest in their arts and learning, although he refused to live in their cities. Instead, he established a new capital at Karakorum on the steppes and summoned all the wise and clever people of the Mongol regime to come and visit his lavish palace in the city.
