Civilisation Timeline Chart: Mongol Conquests Infographic

Historical timeline infographic titled "Mongol Conquests". Create a HORIZONTAL timeline ribbon as the dominant visual, designed as a museum exhibition panel with editorial historical illustration, textbook-grade clarity, period-appropriate imagery, vector-clean lines. Theme: medieval Eurasian expansion of the Mongol Empire, presented neutrally and without glorification. Use an ancient bronze & navy palette, parchment undertones, crisp readable typography, elegant exhibition-label layout, sharp high-contrast text, tasteful historical icons, and a calm scholarly mood.

Overlay the macro structure clearly across the ribbon: "Rise → Peak → Decline → Fall".

Mark exactly 5 milestone events along the timeline, each with a precise date in Arabic numerals, a short heading in English, a one-line caption in English, and a clear period-appropriate visual cue:
1. "1206" — "Temujin Proclaimed Genghis Khan" — "The Mongol tribes were unified under a single ruler, creating the foundation for imperial expansion." Visual cue: bronze crown and horse standard.
2. "1211" — "Invasion of Jin China Begins" — "Mongol armies crossed into North China, opening a major phase of conquest against the Jin dynasty." Visual cue: composite bow and fortified gate.
3. "1223" — "Battle of the Kalka River" — "A Mongol force defeated a coalition of Rus' princes and Cumans, demonstrating its reach into Eastern Europe." Visual cue: crossed sabers and river marker.
4. "1258" — "Siege of Baghdad" — "Mongol forces captured Baghdad, ending Abbasid political dominance in the city and reshaping regional power." Visual cue: ruined city gate and scroll.
5. "1279" — "Conquest of Song Completed" — "The Yuan dynasty secured control over all of China after the final defeat of Southern Song resistance." Visual cue: naval ship and imperial seal.

Add a small territorial / map element showing Eurasia with shaded maximum Mongol imperial reach around the late 13th century, labeled exactly: "Mongol Empire at Greatest Extent c. 1279". Include subtle route arrows from Mongolia toward North China, Central Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

Include 3 key figures in small side panels with dates and exact rendered names:
- "Genghis Khan (c. 1162-1227)" — founder and unifier.
- "Ogedei Khan (1186-1241)" — overseer of early imperial expansion.
- "Kublai Khan (1215-1294)" — ruler associated with the final conquest of Song and the Yuan dynasty.

Add supporting visual motifs: mounted archer silhouette, steppe horizon, scrollwork dividers, saddles, helmets, and cartographic linework; avoid graphic battlefield gore, avoid real death photos, avoid flags or symbols of hate movements. Keep contested history neutral, balanced, and informative.

All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no watermarks Render dates in Arabic numerals. Avoid graphic battlefield gore, no real death photos, no flags or symbols of hate movements. For contested historical narratives, present neutrally — no propaganda framing, no glorification of atrocities. Period-appropriate but tasteful.
