The Ilkhanate was based, originally, on Genghis Khan's campaigns in the Khwarezmid Empire in 1219-1224, and founded by Chinghis's grandson, Hulegu, in what territories which today comprise most of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, and western Pakistan. From the exhibits displayed experts single out the unique embroidered wall hangings which were found in the Noyon Mountain burials in Mongolia by the Mongolian-Russian expedition in the period between 2006 and 2009.
