Stele of Genghis Khan

The Stele of Genghis Khan (Mongolian), also known as the Stele of Yisüngge, is a granite stele inscribed with a dedication to Yisüngge, nephew of Genghis Khan, for performing a feat of archery during a gathering of noyans after the Mongol conquest of the Khwarazmian Empire, dated to c. 1224–1225. It was discovered in 1802, close to the remains of Khirkhira, a 13th-century settlement in Transbaikal that served as the center of the territories of Qasar and his descendants. Since 1936 it has been kept at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is important for containing the first known inscription in Mongolian Script.
