CHONGQING, June 30 (Xinhua) -- When the Mongolian army swept across Central Asia and into Europe in 1259, it seemed that nobody could stop them from conquering the world, until unexpected news arrived from the east.
Supreme leader Mongke, the Great Khan, had died in a battle near modern-day Chongqing in southwest China. The news caused the army to panic and led to a feud between Mongke's brothers. It resulted in the overall military withdrawal that may have saved the European and Arab civilizations.
Fast-forward 700 years Dame Nike Air Max 97 GS Sko Lyserød Hvid Tilbud , and the site of Mongke's death, Diaoyu Fortress on a hill in Chongqing's Hechuan District, is in the running for UNESCO World Heritage Site listing.
Excavations since 2012 have discovered the defensive headquarters of a 4,600-strong Chinese army -- the last stand against the invading Mongolians.
"A powerful army led by Mongke advanced on the Song dynasty from the north into Sichuan, the strategic backyard of the then-Chinese empire. Resistance could only be organized in the mountains surrounding Chongqing," said Yuan Dongshan Køb Nike Air Max 97 Herre Sko Sort Hvid , head of Chongqing Cultural Heritage Research Institute, who is in charge of the excavation.
Archaeologists have excavated 20,000 square meters of the site and found government offices, garrisons, warehouses, and banquet halls. The architecture was designed for war Herre Nike Air Max 97 Sko Hvid Sort Online , according to Yuan.
The Song (960-1279) was one of China's more culturally and economically developed dynasties, which saw the invention or popularity of the compass, gunpowder, paper and printing, and which subsequently spread to the rest of the world along the Silk Road.
Archeologists have also found artifacts from the Tang dynasty (618-907) when China was one of the strongest countries in the world.
According to Yuan, the war only slightly changed the course of history Herre Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Army Grøn Sort Sko Udsalg , but fundamentally altered the development of the East. If Mongke had not died, his brother Kublai may not have become the Great Khan who ruled China, established the Yuan Dynasty in 1271 and built Dadu in modern-day Beijing, accelerating the fusion of different cultures and ethnic groups within east Asia.
Back in Chongqing's Hechuan District a 12.5-meter Buddha statue, one of the largest in China, sits among thousands of Buddhist grottoes Herre Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Sko Rød Online , proving communication existed between China and India more than 1,000 years ago.
During World War II Chongqing was the temporary capital and a base for allied forces in Far East Asia. The Japanese bombed Hechuan nine times, killing hundreds of civilians.
A total of 35 million Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded in the war against Japanese invasion from 1937 to 1945. Their sacrifice helped prevent millions of Japanese troops from pouring into the Pacific to attack the Americans.
Lu Bo of Hechuan committee of the Communist Party of China, said people now understand something of the city's history and its place in the world. Rather than threatening historical sites, the district's healthy economy has financed their protection.
It was Chongqing that bore the brunt of the chaotic Cultural Revolution. The local economy was destroyed as well as many antiquities, but the district Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Herre Sko Blå Udsalg , home to over 1.5 million people, is embracing new opportunities.
Ten years ago, Hechuan's primary industry was agriculture, a major center of pig breeding. It has now metamorphosed into a major industrial base, with automobile, medical Herre Blå Grå Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Sko Tilbud , and information industries.
