The link that was posted on the old site listing Empire sizes is: http://www.hostkingdom.net/earthrul.html - http://www.hostkingdom.net/earthrul.html ------------- In the time of your life, live - so that in that wonderous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.

Indeed counting the Soviet bloc as one country, and the Axis Powers as well is a bit weird.

This site shows Seljuqs were bigger than Ottomans! I think they didn't consider southEgypt and south algeria for ottomans. |

Yes, but all of those areas AT ONCE? Or just at various times, you have to consider Empire at its peak, not add up everything it controlled aand lost at some point or other. ------------- |

Don't be fooled by the number of countries. To judge the land size you
have to look at a globe. The Roman empire, despite having all the
numerous "regions" was only half the size of modern china.

No, the Mongol Empire continued to expand during the reigns of Ögödei, Güyük and Möngke but when Khubilai won the civil war, the empire was no more united. Nonetheless, the Mongol Empire during the reigns of pre-Khubilai kha'ans was larger than the empire of Chinggis Kha'an. The United Kingdom was even larger than the Mongol Empire. ------------- [IMG]http://img50.exs.cx/img50/6148/ger3.jpg"> Qaghan of the Vast Steppes http://steppes.proboards23.com - Steppes History Forum |

Its hard to estimate premodern empire size especially those that expande into the inhabited territory, but in term of effective control, soviet union's conquests is larger than the mongol enmpire |
