    The effect of wet climates on Mongol bows is overstated. The Mongols were able to invade the Southern Song Dynasty, which was located in a region with a hot and humid subtropical climate that gets more rainfall than the wettest places in Europe. The Romans also historically stationed Syrian bowmen with recurve bows in the British Isles (which is supposedly one of the wetter places of Europe).

    Well people often under estimate how difficult it is supply and support missile units like archers, if you got thousands of archers and each archer got 1-2 quivers with them and they carry let's say 60-80 arrows each and you have to make sure there is enough arrows to account for battlefield usage over extended periods of time or if arrows are lost due to other means then you can easily see tens of thousands of arrows or more being produced. Now did the English archers at Agincourt have a million arrows? Well we don't know actually how many arrows exactly they had, I personally doubt it but we really don't know.

    It's not just in 21st century standard that their tactics and methods were gruesome and cruel. Even in their time period, normally an army wouldn't massacre the whole population. In the west and middle-east, this hadn't happened since ancient times when people who resisted conquest would've been killed for doing so. You had much smaller armies and populations in the medieval ages, so conquering territory meant conquering the population too and only, if at all, kill the garrisons - and even those were often unharmed even after sieges if it didn't come to the siege of the citadel rather than just the castle/city - so you would have people working the fields and stuff. As nomads, mongols at first didn't need people working the fields because they were self-sufficient. Only when they incorporated more and more people into their empire, they mostly stopped killing everyone who resisted - even tho they still did it because with all the chinese they just made their subjects, they didn't have to keep smaller populations alive. Again - such massacres were not common. Just look at the massacre at Ayyadieh , were "only" 2000 people were murdered. It was still considered barbaric, even by christian sources. For the christians and muslims, massacres were something rare and gruesome. For the mongols, it was only one of their many terror-tactics to break their enemy even before actual battles happened to weaken their moral.

    The Mongols are like a modern army in the Medieval World. They emphasized firepower, mobility, logistics, and organization over individual Chivalry. They were organized in units based on 10s, 100s, 1000s, and 10,000s. They could maneuver their armies using complex flag systems and scouts and messengers, hundreds of miles apart. They emphasized ability and leadership over noble birth. They always used surprise to their advantage. They would retreat when necessary with no loss of face, and they would pursue their opponents to the bitter end. Its absolutely amazing that the Mongols didn't take over Europe, and Everywhere Else. They had the strategies and tactics to do it.

    I love this work, so much! One small detail: you reference Qarachar Noyen as having been Timur’s ‘successor’, but I think you meant ‘ancestor’. If I’m not mistaken, Timur claimed Qarachar was a cousin of Chinggis’s, albeit several times removed, & possibly aggrandized both Qarachar’s inheritance & closeness to Chinggis, in Timur’s life-long attempt to validate his lineage & connection to the Great Khans. Anyway - great job! A true gem amongst gems!

    @@thienngo7252 The Xiongnu became politically dominant in the steppes around 300 BC, and although the linguistic affiliation of the Xiongnu proper is still a matter of dispute, their political confederation certainly contained a significant Turkic component. By both ethnohistorical and linguistic considerations this component may in the first place be identified with the Bulgharic (Bulghar Turkic) branch of Turkic, today represented by the Chuvash language in the Volga region. The Turkic component of the Xiongnu is, however, unambiguously signalled by a number of Bulgharic loanwords in Proto-Samoyedic, such as *yür 'hundred'. The Bulgharic (Proto-Bulgharic) speakers are likely to have entered Southern Siberia , the location of Proto-Samoyedic , not earlier than the last century BC. At the same time, a number of local words, notably *kadï 'conifer' (> Chuvash xïra„ ~ xïr 'birch '), were borrowed from Proto-Samoyedic into Bulgharic. Review: J. Janhunen (ed.),The Mongolic languages, London, New York : Routledge, 2003 An earlier date for the separation of proto-Turkic, preceding 209 BC would support the identification of Xiongnu language with proto-Bulgharic or one of its subgroups, while a later date of separation would make its association with proto-Turkic more plausible. Alexander Savelyev, Martine Robbeets, Bayesian phylolinguistics infers the internal structure and the time-depth of the Turkic language family, Journal of Language Evolution, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2020 Xiongnu (Pre-Proto-Bulgharic, in Mongolia). Mongolian Vowel Harmony in a Eurasian Context In: International Journal of Eurasian Linguistics Authors: Ian G. Barrere 1 and Juha A. Janhunen University of Helsinki Online Publication Date: 18 Jun 2019 As this time depth coincides with the beginning of the Xiongnu empire (209 BCE-100 CE), the association of Xiongnu with Proto-Bulgharic does not seem unreasonable. However, given the relatively large credible interval involved in the Bayesian dating, the breakup of proto-Turkic may also be connected with the first disintegration of the Xiongnu confederation under influence of the military successes of the Chinese in 127-119 BCE (Mudrak 2009). In sum, the time depth of the breakup of Proto-Turkic can be estimated between 500 BCE and 100 CE. Martine Robbeets, Remco Bouckaert, Bayesian phylolinguistics reveals the internal structure of the Transeurasian family, Journal of Language Evolution, Volume 3, Issue 2, July 2018 The language of the European Huns is sometimes referred to as a Bulghar Turkic variety in general linguistic literature, but caution is needed in establishing its affiliations. The predominant part of the Xiongnu population is likely to have spoken Turkic (Late Proto-Turkic, to be more precise). Cite this article: Savelyev A, Jeong C (2020).

Very close to Palace meaning. (Horde) Karakol: might be Харуул in Mongolian (guardian) Seems some meanings are changed little bit.
