The eyewitness account of the destruction of Kiev by Giovanni da Pian del Carpine in 1246.
Reason: it’s a contemporary, first-hand account (primary source). The textbook and the 1630 painting are secondary or later interpretations; Marco Polo’s Travels is a primary source but less directly an eyewitness account of Mongol destruction in Europe.
