| Summary: | Aims: The current study aimed to investigate the economic, construction, and cultural conditions in Mongolian society by highlighting the natural resources, agricultural, and animal wealth possessed by the Mongolian lands. It also aimed to analyze their impact on lifestyles and social organizations. It also seeks to address commercial activity and architectural aspects, focusing on what is mentioned in historical sources about these aspects. Methodology: The descriptive-analytical approach was adopted, based on studying historical narratives and texts that dealt with Mongolian society at its various stages, analyzing the content of what was mentioned therein regarding economic, constructions, and cultural aspects, and linking them to the nature of the geographical environment and the social structure of that society. Results: The study showed that the Mongolian lands were rich in natural resources, which contributed to the limited development of agricultural wealth, while livestock wealth formed the economic basis of a nomadic society based on migration. It also demonstrated the weakness of industrial activity due to the Mongol tribes' preoccupation with wars and conquests, with a growing interest in trade, especially during the reign of Genghis Khan. On the other hand, architecture was limited in terms of documentation and sources, but the geographical expansion contributed to the Mongols' openness to multiple urban patterns. Conclusions: It can be concluded that the nomadic and military nature of Mongol society influenced the features of its economic and urban development, with the military nature dominating production, and a lifestyle based on herding and trade emerging. Furthermore, the scarcity of historical sources on architecture reflects the absence of a stable urban structure in the early stages, calling for further research in this area to clarify the mutual cultural influences between the Mongols and the peoples they subjugated. |
