Well, you might want to check these files in the Florilegium:
In the CULTURES section:
Mongl-Mission-art  (9K) 12/16/99    "Mission to the Mongols" by Bojegei
(Kate 
                                       Bercaw). Period comments about
Mongols.
Mongols-msg       (52K)  4/16/01    Mongol culture, bibliography. Mongol
horses.
Mongols-N-o-B-art (60K)  1/ 7/01    "Mongols - Nomads or Barbarians" by
Baroness 
                                       Catriona Macpherson, GoA.

I also have permission to add the Compleat Anachronist on Mongols to
the Florilegium. I just haven't had time to work on that, yet.

In the FOOD-BY-REGION section:
fd-Mongols-msg    (42K) 11/ 8/00    Food of the Mongols. Recipes.

In the BEVERAGES section:
kumiss-msg        (34K)  3/26/01    Mongol drink made from mare's milk.

In the STRUCTURES section:
yurts-msg         (90K) 12/ 2/99    Round Mongol tents also called gers.

I hope this helps.
