      This was an awesome watch... It'd be cool if you guys could also do a people's profiles of lesser known Steppe conquerors such as Tamerlane and Nurhaci, there's barely any UA-cam content about them, especially since Nurhaci was basically the guy who set in motion the founding of the Qing Dynasty of China

    I've always found Genghis to be the most fascinating historical leader. Millions died when he roamed central Asia and beyond, but it's still awe inspiring to learn about what he achieved from a military perspective. I also like that he was tolerant to religious views despite having his own pagan beliefs.

Maybe u should go look into what the Chinese Red Guards did to religious people and religious centers such as Buddhist temples doing the cultural revolution or what the Khmer Rouge did to any Cambodian Buddhists or Christians in the name of atheism and because "religion is the opium of the masses" according to Karl Marx, or why not look into what the Soviet Union did to the Russian Orthodox Christians or to Russian Jews or Muslims in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan...

    Genghis Khan, quite simply, is one of the most extraordinary individuals who ever lived. His impact on history is still being felt today, for better and for worse. Tyrant, conqueror, statesman, destroyer, he was all of these things and more. Very, very few people have impacted the course of human history as profoundly as Genghis Khan, and fewer still have left so many questions in their wake. Genghis shook the world to its foundations and then left almost no trace behind him. We don't even know the exact of his birth. We don't know, conclusively, when and how he died. Heck, we don't even know for certain what the guy *looked* like.

If this were the case, the Chinese empires missed a great opportunity centuries earlier to do what Genghis Khan did. But evidently he was the right man at the right time. Legendary Khan. Does it have anything to do with Great Tataria?

    His only desire was to unify tribes, peoples and nations. His moral was: "Those who are not with me, are against me." It is similar to the moral of another great man: Jesus. St. Matthew 12:30-33 RVC
    "He who is not with me, is against me (................) every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven, except the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit." In the same way the Great Khan would also say: I forgive all those who surrender to me, except those who raise their weapons against me and especially those who are disloyal! And so he did. Ask the Muslims and the Jin, the Xia Xia, Europeans, Tartars, etc. A great man, a great inspiration, a noble soul. If being illiterate he achieved what he achieved, I can already imagine what he would have achieved if he had been literate! In any case, he achieved the impossible: The Pax Mongolica. Which is an interesting separate chapter.

    While I understand that the content on this channel is generated by men and their interests, I must say I am a bit disappointed if not very surprised that this video contains zero references or information about the daughters of Genghis khan and their importance in the building of the empire. He was a very forward thinking man who granted imens power to his daughters, and the daughters in turn made sure that his territories were well ruled.

    is it true Genghis died from syphilis that he contracted while living on the sacred mountain?
