Mongol Empire was the biggest "contiguous" empire where the whole empire is connected and doesn't have any inclaves or exclaves. British empire isn't contiguous because it's territories were scattered in different continents, its colonial empire after all.

Let me tell you a tiny story: In Mongolia, somebody stole a camel. And they put it in the zoo. Also the camel was depressed because he missed his country and countryside. Mongolian family has came in the zoo. Until they saw the camel 🐫 the camel was c- crying 😭
Then let me tell you a bit more. Most elderly people in Mongolia has a very unique type of religion. They are mostly buddhist however they also believe in spiritual beings/nymphs that exist and watch over certain regions like mountains, forests. They pray to them and as well as the “sky”. In fact, most nomadic housewives always offer some freshly made milk tea or milk to the “sky” and “nature” every morning and night. Although the population in the capital city, Ulan Bator has been rapidly increasing, the nomadic lifestyle is still very widespread. And especially recently, they’ve been aiming to preserve their traditional culture and educate the younger generation of it. There have been increasing number of festivals aimed to promote their tradition. Mongolians have 2 main holidays. One is the Lunar new year, the date varies because it is based on lunar calendar but it is mostly around February, sometimes January. Traditionally, the holiday was to celebrate the incoming spring. Because the winters in Mongolia have always been very harsh, for nomads it was always hard to preserve through it and have little to no casualties in their herds consisting of mostly cows, sheep and goat and horses. So, during the celebration, it is tradition to ask how they are and also how their herd is. It may sound a bit silly but herds and dairy are the main aspects of mongolian nomadic lifestyle. Second is the Naadam, celebrated from July 11 to July 13. During the Naadam there are three types of competitions; traditional wrestling, archery and horse racing. There are also a few other smaller holidays, though their origins might not be as early as the two mentioned before. There are many traditional instruments, the most popular one is called “Morin Huur”, which directly translates to “horse instrument”. The string is made of horse tail and the main body is made of wood. The highlight is that it has a small carving of a horse head at the top. More skilled player can create a sound mimicking the sound of a horse whinnying. There are still many things to say but I will stop here.
@@xrtclfc5172 only he used it. Genghis means Universal. Or Universal Khan. A more grand version of Khagan. His name was Temujin. However that doesn’t have the same ring to it.
@@gabrielm.942 Genghis actually does come from the word „Deniz“ which is a Turkic word with the meaning „Sea“. And you use „Khan“ or „Han“ for a noble male person which is also used in Turkic languages aswell as Mongolian
it's pronounced Chinggis Haan. Mongolians decided to switch the H sound into KH, since it's a harsh consonant and not many people can pronounce it like Mongolians. Kh sound orginally sounded more like it, but then the English people adapted it into a basic 'k' sound. It sounds like this: hhhan. @@dumbbro131
Real Mongolia is located in China, Outer Mongolia consists of Khalkha tribe, Genghis Khan's vassal tribe, Genghis Khan's descendants live in Inner Mongolia, Golden family, Genghis Kha tribe
His birth name is temuujin, a very common male name in modern Mongolia. But his title chinggis haan possibly derives from the word tengis "тэнгис" which is kind of fancier way to say ocean. And Mongolians use ocean a lot to describe something far enormous and wide, deep and big. And haan literally means king in mongolia. So his title may be smt like ocean king, not as in literal ocean but as in king who rules and controls far and wide as the sea(ig???idk history class didn't teach the meaning too deep) Kind of like Dalai Lama in Mongolia which literally means sea/dalai ,monk/lama. Sea and ocean being metaphors for deep and big wisdom, giant and unending rule or knowledge, anything rlly.
@@favidcooljay4862 No his burial site has not founded, even today. But ps5 can be afforded by you in 100 years. You cant find the burial site in 1000 years
for those who dont know/dont know mongolian, or doesnt know what the names mean👇 Its still not "Kan" or "Khan" in mongolian it means King so if you were to directly translate his name it would be King Chingis or something like that Ulaanbaatar when directly translated means 'Red hero' A mongolian yurt/"ger" isnt pronounced as 'gir' / when translated it means 'house'/'home' If mongolian household is packing up their yurt and leaving, the father/home owner has to find a good spot a few days prior to the moving. If someone in the process of moving comes by another mongolians yurt its tradition to welcome them in with a light snack^/curd and some freshly made milk tea (using already made tea is considered wishing/bringing the household bad luck)
