Got to have watchtowers for those pesky rock climbing mongolian assassins. A nice smooth brick surface slows them down and slips them a bit like heavy beatles clamoring up glass. /s

Mongolians? In 1300BC? Wasn't it 2,500 years later, in like, 1200AD when they came rolling thru?

Attilla the Hun was around 450 AD too. Not exactly Mongolian, but very similar in the sense of being nomadic horse archers from the steppe.

Scythian maybe?
