Description
The Issue with Mongols by Anatoly Fomenko and Gleb Nosovskiy is a thought-provoking exploration of the origins of the term "Mongol". For centuries, it has been assumed that the Mongols were a nomadic tribe from the steppes north of China, but this interpretation is based on a misunderstanding. The word "Mongol" actually comes from Russian and means "a lot", "numerous", or "Great One". This etymological explanation challenges the conventional view of the Mongols as conquerors of Eurasia. The book delves into the history of the term's creation, revealing that it was invented by court historians of the Romanov dynasty to justify their rule. A fascinating study of language, history, and power, The Issue with Mongols sheds new light on a little-known chapter in Russian history.
