        Is the mongol empire really a civilization? I think not, because they have no social class. I think this for a couple of reasons. The first reason is they were nomads, so they travel a lot. Second, they took over various places around the world, for example they took over parts of China,Europe,and Russia. So there couldn't be a social class,because every place had different jobs and customs. This is why they cant be a civilization, because there is no social class.
