that is on purpose ! turks playerd critical rule in silk road yet they mention mongols but not the turks, timur among the top 3 commnaders of all time along side of alexander the great and Genghis khan but they wont talk about him although he was a greater then both of them ! alexander was a son of a king who inhertitae the famouse army from Phillipe the great Genghis khan had 4 man to be his horse (friend ) who run the empire and diplomocy for him and 4 man to be his dog (generals ) among them was subutai the greatest mongol general yet timur had none of these he didnt had army and kingdom like alexander nor he had generals and adviser like Genghis khan to run military campian for him he fought all of his battles himslf and he is the only counqurere who took moscow in russia and deli in india beat all muslim powers as well as crusaders ! the viraity of enemy he face is so vast that other generals woudşnt succesd in his place ! same goes to turks contribution to Islam Christianity Judaism and buddhism! and some islamist help them in that regard ! i can go on and on !
The excessive praise of the West for the achievements of Iskander the Great is explained by the fact that European culture, as they usually do, is based on Roman and Greek culture (not on Byzantium!). They consider Genghis Khan (and Emir Teymur) a barbarian

But how this "barbarian" created the greatest empire, they prefer not to say... Genghis Khan's military talent is incomparably superior to Alexander the Great and Napoleon the Great combined. Ironically, the Romans, whom cultured Europeans revere, in fact considered the Germans and Gauls, that is, the Europeans themselves, barbarians
