Anderson Private School

For FRIDAY 9-9-11 Our plan for FRIDAY is for all students to meet at the school at 8:30 a.m. to caravan to IRVING, Texas to enjoy a guided tour of the Genghis Khan. DO not be late. PICKUP will be at school at APPROXIMATELY 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. We MUST have a current telephone number that you will answer or Dr. A will act very sick!
His name is legend, as his brutality. In just 25 years the Mongolian army conquered more lands than the Romans during their 400 year rule. But Genghis Khan was much more than the barbarian portrayed in modern day. He and his sons spread a new level of cultural, technological and governmental sophistication across Asia and parts of Europe. In fact, it was Genghis Khan who first created national parks, free trade, the postal system, international law and the borders of many modern nations. His empire was the safest and most tolerant of lands. We can even trace hamburgers, passports and pants to this renowned warrior.

Student ENTRY FEE is $5.00. Lunch will follow at a nearby eatery.

The story of Genghis Khan the conqueror, the myth and the man is told through a stunning and highly interactive world-tour exhibition. Genghis Khan: The Exhibition follows the life of a poor, illiterate child as he becomes one of the worlds greatest conquerors and leaves a lasting imprint on modern-day culture. More than 200 artifacts including gold jewelry, weaponry, silk robes, currency, tomb treasures and more are displayed alongside video-screens, hands-on activity stations and role-playing kiosks to create an educational and historical experience for visitors of all ages.

Genghis Khan: Warrior and Statesman

Genghis Khans legacy is two-fold: that of a ruthless warrior and a revered statesman. As a Mongol warlord, he created the largest contiguous land empire in history. His nomadic warriors reduced cities to ash, wiped out entire populations and incited fear throughout medieval Europe and Asia. Yet Genghis Khan is still revered as the spirit of the Mongolian nation. As a statesman, he was an innovative leader who brought stability and unity to his people. Genghis Khan rewarded loyalty and merit, established the rule of law and opened traded across Asia. Explore ancient Mongolian passports, weaponry and Genghis Khans prolific family tree.
