Throughout the history, Silk Road has functioned as a means of cultural and economic production, through which it has been the fundamental focus of socio-cultural, economic, and political interactions between Asian and European geographies. European world of thought and politics, which was attracted to Central Asia/East especially due to Mongolian invasion, has been the initiator of organizing expeditions in order to closely examine, and to gather data on, many ethnic groups such as Mongolians, Turks, and Chinese. The present study includes travel books of three Westerner travelers, namely, Johann de Plano Carpini (1246-1247), Wilhelm von Rubruk (1253-1255) and Marco Polo (1250), who witnessed this process in person. Content analysis method is used in the study where comparison method is observed. Production system in the process of culturization, material and mental processes, which we observed in the travel books, has the potential to function together. Functioned as the fundamental founding element in the construction of Europe as a historical-cultural area, the factor of religion is also the basic factor in the formation of identities. Contribution to the formation of the classical orientalism is among the shared features of the three travel books. The period of Mongolian invasion, during which the travels were made, also marks a period where missionary works and orientalism intersect.
