How does the Mongol Empire Influence us Today?

-I know that the Roman Empire has a lot of Influence on today's Society but I have not heard of any Influence from the Mongol Empire. What influence does the Mongol Empire bestow upon the present day? Examples will be great! :-)Apart from influencing the genetic and facial caracteristics of some eastern Europeans, they left as a legacy the movements of their legendary cavalry;Sir Basil H. Liddel-Heart has based his books (Indirect Strategy etc) on the movements of that cavalry and used it as the basis of the creation and use of our modern armoured formations.I would imagine that their conquest and the spread of their empire west could have sparked exploration in Europe to go east, Marco Polo traveled the silk road at roughly the same time the mongols expanded, this increase in trade was over all very influential.
