Question:

‘If history relies upon written records produced by city-based literati, nomadic societies will always receive a hostile representation.’ Would you agree with this statement? Does it explain the reason why Persian chronicles produced such inflated figures of casualties resulting from Mongol campaigns?

Answer:

Yes, I agree with the statement. I give the following reasons for my view.

● There were vast differences between The Secret Society of Mongols and
Marco Polo’s Travelogues in terms of events and their descriptions.

● Being the transcontinental span of the Mongol empire, the sources were written in different languages.

● Persian chronicles produced inflated figures of casualties resulting from Mongol campaigns to prove their cruelty or to prove them as cruel assassins.
