Not an original story (meaning noone else had an origin-story like him). In history, all great men in various aspects of society, had no father (him being killed, died from an illness, just left, out of wedlock). Followed by an struggling youth and raised by a poor mother, neglected by the family, but determined to change and enhance his prospects, have his revenge by fighting and killing, or climbing that social ladder and get rich and influential.

On the field they also employed “kiting” (RTS gaming terminology) which involves shooting while retreating so that you constantly outrange your opponent.

Lessons I learned from the video: 1. Build friendships. 2. Leave no potential threat with any power...or alive. 3. Recruit talent, not "titles" (noble birth people) 4. Build loyalty through limited freedoms and money. 5. Don't attack directly. Instead, cut off supply lines and draw out enemies. Make them fight you on your terms. 6. Constantly seek to improve your tactics and technology. Be a lifelong learner. 7. Adapt to your circumstances rather than trying to adapt them to you. Use available resources...like rivers or horse milk (and bl00d). 8. Know your limitations. 9. Strike fast, strike hard...very hard. 10. Use your enemies fear, their anger, and their greed against them. Bonus lesson: 11. Decorate your enemies with liquid silver. Awesome video as always Thoughty2!

It all sounds great until you try putting them together. Let's say recruiting talent instead of entitled people.... Temujin had to loose the important friendship of nobles and instead he made new and powerful enemies within his own people, the Mongol tribes. This powerful aristocracy became better suited as enemy than as friend in the end, but putting that into practice is just impossible. You would need the power to see the future to put it into practice. Temujin had to be very intelligent and charismatic, but also highly lucky...which is possible, just think in lottery winners.

If you were My history teacher, I might have actually passed the subject. NOW I see why History is an enthralling saga- a brilliant epic played out on the same stages where we currently stand, commute, shop and live life. Not some stale endless list of: On or about (date), (Name) of (place) did (verb) to (name) of (place) because (reason). That was how I learned and why I failed. I never felt the slightest bit interested. But here you come and I am enjoying learning about history- That almost never happens. Cheers, Thoughty2!

Since there is no “ch” sound in Arabic, the name “Chengis” was transliterated to “Gengis”.

One other point you missed - a recent genealogical survey estimates that 1 in 12 Asians is descended from Genghis.

Ghazali was a scholar and philosopher which is like great but also religously bigot. 100 yeras ago before Ghazali, there was Ibn Sina (Avicenna), one of the founders of the medicine. He was also a philosopher and he almost wrote cogitomergo sum nearly 700 years before Descartes. However, it was Ghazali’s teaching soread to muslim communities (with the help of the rulers) and even Ghazali told Ibn Sina’s fairh was corrupt. That was when Middle East went into dark.

Napoleon gave the French Revolution and the Enlightenment teeth. It sounds like Genghis Kahn created a lot of his own enlightenment and of course also gave it teeth. This presentation does a wonderful job of clarifying why GK was so successful. Notwithstanding some cruelties that arguably tainted his professional militarism, he was a genius general, politician and economist. Instituting meritocracy and treating religion as a non-issue (as it should be) are lessons some of today's politicians and economists seem to be forgetting. And how about attacking and weakening civilian economies to the point where it begins to erode military redoubts you can't attack directly? Today's leaders need to sit in on more of GK's lectures and take good notes. Thanks, T2 for another beautifully done presentation.

The success of genghis khans rapid expansion was the fusion of huge/heavy chinese sieging tools with mobile nomadic army from steppe. On the one hand, chinese siege tools were able to move across landscapes easily with the help of massive amount steppe horses. On the other hand, nomadic army solved their main issue - the inability to siege down big cities with wide walls.

What a great quasi-documentary on the phenomenal legend Genghis Khan! I really appreciate that you mostly portrayed him without casting judgment, and credited his non-militaristic accomplishments as well. Your summary at the end of the video was perfect and very well stated. There's no denying his influence in society, government, local and international trade, and military logistics.

Regarding the Mongol horde’s diet we actually know that they didn’t forage whatsoever & their diet was more or less entirely carnivore. They hunted nearby game, drank the milk of their horses, made yogurt and sour-milk from it, drank their horses’s blood, and ate their horses’s meat. In contrast, the Chinese armies subsided on gruel made from grains, and were regularly ill, whereas Genghis Khan’s men were incredibly robust in health, and could go without food for days at a time. There was a book written about these factors which advocates of the carnivore diet constantly cite to prove their claims of it’s excellent effects on their health-something I fully support being a 6-years-carnivore myself.

They gave him resources and money, and he promised to keep other hordes away from Jin lands. Instead he used his position to consolidate power over him. Funny thing is that later same thing would be done by Russians against remnants of Mongolian Empire - Moscow had arised mostly as a tax collecting center, and so a Moscow prince, a position established to better control the slavs, would rise into an independent power.

I kind of feel sorry for that governor of the Khwarazmian Empire. At least in the way it plays out in my head. The Shah seemed to genuinely believe that the Mongol traders were spies and it was all to prep for Genghis' next conquest. Which, to be fair, assuming Genghis Khan was going to invade you, would not be a particularly outrageous assumption. So the Shah ordered the governor to treat the Mongol traders as Mongol spies. The governor had to know that order was a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' type of order. Shah: I want you to bitch-slap the most ruthless and powerful man on the planet. Twice. Governor: Might as well borrow large sums of money now since I will never have time to pay it back

I agree to an extent. Perspective is literally the most important factor. He did have another option... he could have given them a longer and less consequential route. He could have even made them avoid his territory altogether, once he realized they had arrived. Instead, he mortalized em and took their stuff. That sounds like he either assumed Genghis didn't want beef out of fear instead of opportunity, or that maybe he didn't realize who sent those traders.

You shouldn't. I'm from Uzbekistan (central asia, Khwarezm is part of my country) and we do have historical records of Genghis khan written by central asian historians. Shah was so arrogant, He did what his religion explicitly stated not to do (kill the diplomats). Safe to say, he had it coming. Another governor of a different state in the Khwarizmi empire said when captured "spilling royal blood is a curse in my religion" so Genghis khan ordered him to be rolled in a carpet and be beaten to death so his blood wouldn't be spilled on the ground...

I suppose the Governor and the Shah had another option. If they believe the merchants were spies, then just refuse them entry into the territory/city and politely decline. Then send them home unharmed and without stealing their stuff. All right, it still might not be entirely wise to turn around and say no, but perhaps send a small diplomatic party back with the merchants to meet and ascertain whether friendship really was being offered.

It’s really pleasant to watch, your way of presenting is truly engaging. I am a fan of Genghis Khan since my childhood. Your refreshing and joyful sarcastic approach is top notch! Thank you

This is why I never make fun of my friend's tent

My favorite quote here was "For the Jin it was like fighting smoke. Really fucking angry smoke." Too funny.

I always love watching your videos! Tbh your videos have been one of my constant -usual background when I do random stuff. I hope you produce more interesting and mind boggling videos... Love from the Philippines ♡

This video glosses over a key point when talking about supplying the mongol horde: They didn't just have horses. The reason they were called "hordes" is because they brought everything they needed with them. They brought hardy livestock like goats with them wherever they went, and these were the main reason they were able to mobilize and supply large numbers of men in inhospitable environments.

“I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” -Genghis Khan.

"Somehow, Temüjin has returned" - Clan Wars: The Rise of Gengkis

Liu Bang may want a word regarding the greatest rags to riches story. Temujin was born to a chieftain, Liu Bang was a lowly soldier who lost some bandits he had taken charge of as prisoners. So left with a future that was looking very short, as he would now be put to death for being a useless soldier, he ran away. Liu then went and joined up with the bandits he just days earlier held prisoner, and eventually became the 1st emperor of the Han dynasty.

The genome sequencing of the Liu Bang family is the Y chromosome type of the o-f155 gene, and the German research team studied the golden family cemetery (Temujin's grandfather) in Mongolia, and unearthed the remains of five nobles of the Qiyan tribe, and the genetic test results showed that three were the Liu Bang family gene (o-f155). Iran's Ilkhanate monarch Ghazan Khan (great-grandson of Hülegü, the son of Genghis Khan's fourth son, Tolei), was also found by the Iranian team to have the Y chromosome on his body as the o-f155 gene. The O-F155 gene was still measured in the members of the family of Prince Korqin, a descendant of Genghis Khan's younger brother Khasar (Monk Grinqin is his family). Although Genghis Khan's body has not been found, Genghis Khan's ancestors, brothers, and his descendants are all descendants of Liu Bang, and biologically, it has basically been determined that Genghis Khan himself is also.

There is a sociological concept known as the "Circle of Otherness". Basically, those inside the circle are considered other people, deserving of certain rights, privileges and treatment with respect, and a need to properly justify mistreatment (like, they have committed some crime or transgression), while those outside the circle are not considered "real" people and therefore can be treated accordingly, like animals or worse, by whatever your culture accepts as acceptable for such things. Genghis Khan's life story kind of illustrates a gradual expansion of his personal circle otherness, starting from including just himself, then his family, then his tribe, then all the tribes on his side, and finally to all the people who were in his empire and loyal to him and all peoples willing to submit to his rule and be loyal to him. One of the keys to his success was that he treated the people inside his circle quite well and progressively by the standards of his time. In addition to promoting them based on merit, shared the spoils of war equally, allowed them to practice their own religions freely, he also gave women in his empire more rights and privileges and protections and political power than was typical for the time, and usually forbade his armies from looting and pillaging cities that surrendered to him without a fight. These cities were often allowed to keep most of their existing customs and laws, and some times even their rulers got to keep their positions. This was why so many cities did surrender to the Mongols without fighting, and so many citizens of the empires they invaded ended up joining them and helping them by teaching them things like how to build siege engines. Genghis Khan's reputation for being a genocidal maniac (which is not true. I mean the genocidal part was certainly true, but the maniac part was not. Almost everything Genghis did in his life was carefully considered and planned) comes from the ways he treated people outside his Circle. But it should be noted that the idea that all of humanity belongs inside the circle as a matter of course only became widespread quite some time after Genghis' life. (And in recent times there is growing debate about whether or not certain beings who aren't human should be included inside the circle, such as certain highly intelligent animals, and hypothetical AI with human level capabilities)

This is part of the reason why the Mongol Empire collapsed and left less of a legacy than other great empires throughout history. As opposed to say the Muslim conquests the Mongols imparted no great culture of their own, but simply allowed or were converted by local practices in part because the Mongols had no culture of their own to replace it.

Thank you for the story and narration, Thoughty2. It was, by far, the most i have ever enjoyed a history lesson. Definitely did nof feel 45 minutes long, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I always try to catch each new video ever since I subscribed, which I did after listening to my first Thoughty2 story. Great job.

Temujin didn't actually plan to kill his half-brother, Begter, in the book. Hasar was the one who attempted to intervene when Begter and Belgutei attempted to steal the fish they had just caught. However, Begter challenged Temujin to a bow and arrow combat. Begter was serious, but Temujin was not actually trying to shoot. Temujin shot an arrow after Begter did. Regretfully, Begter was one of them who passed away. Begter's real brother, Belgutei, would be protected at all costs, Temujin said while Begter was dying.

Medieval Total War: Mongol Invasion taught me why. Insane horse archers, all-rounded toughness, superior mobility and tactics compared to the current meta of the time.

Arran, your vids are always entertaining, informative and so well researched that I wish I'd had you as a history prof in school! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your work, I look forward to watching your videos every week. I really do appreciate you.

Temujin is actually pronounced “Tem-ah-Jin”. When I was growing up my grandfather always called me that. Meaning “man of iron” he told me.

Allowing all Citizens to be ANY religion is mind blowing. The amount of passive support they must have gained, due to the fact that they could get into their eternal afterlife just by bending the knee to a ruler in the finite world.

dammit, this 45minute video was so interesting that it didn't feel long at all. Also, I loved the fact that he mentioned that westerners view Genghis Khan as a villain, but the other part of the world respect him as a great leader.

Its really nice to see a longer video. Keep up the good work :)

Ghengis Khan grandson and generals conquering land from China to all the way to the border of Germany on horse back is nuts

Love the love form content - just needs chapters to make it easier Also Mongol culture was based on raiding rival tribes for cattle and women. Not purely revenge. A really great read on the rise of Genghis Khan, the rise of the Mongol empire and some of his heirs read Conn Iggulden’s Conqueror series starting with Wolf On the Plain. Sheds a bit of light on the culture and makes for a brilliant read. They are historical novels, but he breaks down facts and parts that have been altered for the narrative at the end

Yess, brilliant book series.

More interesting than that some CO2 went out of the atmosphere for 200 years after his death, is that he got uber lucky in that there was a relative abundance of CO2 locked up in wood BEFORE HIS BIRTH, like a multi-generational anomaly, and it was focused on and around Mongolia, such that people surmise someone would have conquered even if it wasn't him. He was just born in the right place right time on top of a 10th century oil boon. It wasn't oil, but having wood to burn meant making extra babies and moving armies around much easier, relatively speaking. Wood was food (via cooking). Wood was industry. Carbon in plants and animals was literally food.

Hey, you put a smile om my face so I’d like to put one on yours! ❤️ The whole video was well scripted, had great animations (seriously), and was genuinely interesting! To gice some constructive feedback I’ll say that I appreciate your jokes in theory, but in practice they were delivered a bit awkwardly; not because they were unfunny in themselves but, at least from my observations, they were delivered in a way that made them feel almost mandatory. To expand on that I think a lot of it comes down to pacing: you use a lot of gravitas and thoughful pauses when you deliver your lines which is excellent when presenting facts (especially facts that are somewhat incredible) but when you use the same sort of pacing in your jokes I found that I could predict them almost every time - the one with the guy shitting himself to death is a great example; imagine that instead of pausing after ”shit himself to death” and delivering ”No, seriously, he had dysentry” with the same thoughtfulness and sincerity as the rest of the video (which, we learn quickly, means that you are telling us an incredible truth) you could use rhetorical tricks like speeding up your speech, making a few fast cuts, or using another tone of voice indicating that you’re actually joking, but then you can reveal that it was actually true. Basically: when you let us know early that everything you say is true joke like that which make use subversion of expectation can’t be delivered in a truthful way, which means that you either need to tell more funny lies (with effort and time ”wasted” on untruth) so that you can then use that method that tells us that you are lying but then revealing that it was actually true, or you need to really catch us off guard with something completely different like fast cuts, faster delivery, deviations from your speech patterns. I found that you use deviations from your speech patterns when you curse, for example, but each of those times I also felt like you were still reading from a script, so perhaps you need to find a way to be more loose at times and deviate from your (excellently used when delivering facts!) scripted rigidity. Just a few thoughts to repay your efforts in making this for me to watch, I hope you enjoy that as much as I enjoyed this video! Have a great day friend ❤️

I remember Khan being an enemy in the cartoon Super Duper Sumos.

Thank You; Incredible storytelling..brilliant video!🤩

This made me realize how little I know about Asian history - a huge part of the human story. Thank you for piquing my curiosity!

22:45 The most obvious inaccuracy of this video Jamukha got betrayed by his guard and, as his last wish, asked to die without being mutilated or having his blood spilled (something about mongol traditions) so he was either strangled or had his neck broken. The guards that betrayed him ended up being executed by Temujin because he despised traitors. Also 33:25 you show cyrillic script instead of uyghur script... cyrillic script was only adopted in 20th century

Beautiful story telling. Both very entertaining and informative. Really enjoy how you present your sources and the credibility of them too, such a thoughtful and balanced presentation. Thank you for your research and presentation.

The Mongols mixed the blood from the horses with the mare's milk and drank the mix together so that the blood would not coagulate and block their airways. They were not drunk separately.

Never heard that Genghis Khan split the spoils of war equally among his followers. Kind of hard to believe, but possible, and truly unusual. His lack of concern about religion is also fascinating, even if it was simply practical for his purposes. Suggests he wasn’t religious at all. Thanks for the video.
