Mongol Empire Compare And Contrast Egyptian And Roman Empires

In a land far away, a tribe of nomadic people roamed from place to place, having no stable home. A young man, named Genghis Khan, united the Mongol tribes, to create one of the most powerful empires in history. Rewind, back to 14 BC, where settlers— Latins, Greeks, and Etruscans, became the first Romans. The Roman Empire was organized and trained, conquering lands and territory beyond belief. During the 8th century, Rome became a kingdom and then grew into a powerful, and majestic empire. These two empires were vicious and conquering, stretching from one continent to another.
