The Stele of Genghis Khan (Mongolian: Чингисийн чулууны бичиг, Russian: Чингисов камень), also known as the Stele of Yisüngge, is a granite stele inscribed with a dedication to Yisüngge, nephew of Genghis Khan, for performing a feat of archery during a gathering of noyans after the Mongol conquest of the Khwarazmian Empire, dated to c. 1224–1225.[2] It was discovered in 1802, close to the remains of Khirkhira,[3] a 13th-century settlement in Transbaikal that served as the center of the territories of Qasar and his descendants. Since 1936 it has kept at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
