An authoritative and rich history of the remarkable Xiongnu culturea lost empire which preceded the Mongols and even China itself.The author of landmark histories such as Genghis Khan, Attila, and Xanadu invites us to discover a fertile period in Asian history that prefigured so much of the world that followed.The people of the first nomadic empire left no written records, but from 200 bc they dominated the heart of Asia for four centuries, and changed the world in the process. The Mongols, todays descendants of Genghis Khan, see these people as ancestors. Their rise cemented Chinese identity and inspired the first Great Wall. Their descendants helped destroy the Roman Empire under the leadership of Attila the Hun.We dont know what language they spoke, but they became known as Xiongnu, or Hunnu, a term passed down the centuries and surviving today as Hun, and Man uncovers new evidence that will transform our understanding of the profound mark they left on half the globe, from Europe to Central Asia and deep into China.Based on meticulous research and new archaeological evidence, Empire of Horses traces this civilizations epic story and shows how this nomadic cultures of the steppes gave birth to an empire with the wealth and power to threaten the order of the ancient world.
