As reported by the University of Bonn, the lecture on Jingis Khan not only deals with its historical importance as the founder of the Mongolian Empire, which existed from 1208 to 1227, but also with current archaeological excavations that are carried out by scientists from Bonn in Mongolia. The interrelation between man and the environment is also examined, in particular the climatic influences on the rise and fall of the Mongolian Empire.
