Genghis Khan’s Postal System
Genghis Khan is one of history’s most polarizing figures. Khan led the Mongol Empire to great victories throughout the world. He also introduced new concepts, such as The Yam along the Silk routes in the 13th and 14th centuries.
The Yam was basically a complex postal system. The Yam allowed communication to travel fast and far. They placed stations strategically along the route, which included food, a place to rest, and spare horses. Mongol messengers would get to the station and pass the information to the next messenger. The Yam was a groundbreaking way to communicate and an early version of the post office.
