Place Names from Chapter Nine, "The Road to Hell" in Peter Frankopan's "The Silk Roads." This chapter details the Mongols under the leadership of Genghis Khan and their introduction to Egypt and the Middle East. The place names in this chapter reflect the Mongols' presence in China and Central Asia but also extend as far as Russia, the Korean peninsula, and Cairo. The chapter closes the narrative on the Crusades by detailing Mongol victories in what was once the Christain Holy Land, as European leaders set their sights elsewhere.
