Mongol Empire Flag (1219–1335)
The blue banner of the Mongol Empire, featuring the Eternal Sky symbol, representing Mongol-Turkic power and divine rule (1219–1335).
The Mongol Empire Flag (1219–1335) is depicted as a blue banner featuring a white crescent, a sun, and a flame, symbolizing the Tengri (Eternal Blue Sky), divine power, and Mongol unity. The crescent and sun represent balance and cosmic order, while the three-flamed emblem signifies prosperity and protection. Under Genghis Khan and his successors, the Mongols conquered Persia and vast territories across Asia and the Middle East, integrating Persian administrators into their empire. Though the Mongols ruled Persia for over a century, they eventually adopted Persian culture, language, and governance, particularly under the Ilkhanate (1256–1335). This adaptation helped preserve Persian traditions despite Mongol rule.
