In general, in the era of the Golden Horde, the name of the idea «Mangilik El» was officially used as «Power of the Eternal Tengri». The texts in the press of Khan Kuyuk, in the letter of Khan Argun, written to the address of the French king Philip, and in the documents confirming the authority of the ambassador of the Khan of the Golden Horde Uzbek, began with the words «Power of the Eternal Tengri». Here V. Bartold’s conclusion that the word «Mongol» was first used in the name of his state under Genghis Khan and only later turned into the name of the people from a scientific point of view is correct. The word «Mongol» under Genghis Khan was used not as an ethnonym, but as a political name and served as the ideology of the empire, or the state ideology. This ideology was not invented anew, it became the ideology of the empire of Genghis Khan by adopting the state ideology of the Turkic Khaganate «Mangilik El», formed on the basis of the Turkic worldview. And the term «Mongol» also came from the name of the ideology «Mangilik El».
