Things You Didn't Know About Genghis Khan

Genghis Khan remains one of the most feared and respected conquerors of all time. His biography is shrouded in mystery and contradiction, but the facts about Genghis Khan are that he rose up from almost certain death on the Mongolian Steppe, united his people, and began a series of gruesome conquests that killed millions, and changed the entire course of human destiny.

What historical figure do you think can rival Genghis Khan and his conquests?

and then the river killed itself to conceal the location of the escorts who killed themselves

I always pictured him with Asian features. The red hair and green eyes threw me off a bit.

The comparison between the hitting your boss over the head with a bat, and accidentally shooting Genghis with an arrow is too good.

And today, he’s the owner of Khan Academy

Other fun facts:
1) he banned the marriage, and sexual relations to underaged girls (which his son Ogadi disregarded)
2) His great granddaughter Khutulun becames the most powerfull female warrior in history, and was selected over her 12 brothers to inherit the throne. Unfortunately due to her sex, she was banned from doing so by her family after her fathers death.
3) The first person he was recorded to have killed was his stepbrother.

This adds a whole new connotation to "I can tell you, but I'd have to kill you"

Your men kill all the guests at your funeral, all onlookers and then themselves. What kind of maniacal but charismatic man Genghis Khan must have been to earn such loyalty.

Kills 10% of world's population, took over more land than anyone else, was so bad arse his body died under the weight of his greatness, and lastly: he was so great not even modern technology can find him

Oh so that’s why the Mongolian empire fell. Genghis took all of talents with him to the grave 🙂

Can you do a 'day in the life' of someone living in the black plague era???🤷🤗😋

[LamNguyen-pbmt]

Genghis: didn’t ban religion
Me: oh this guy was pretty cool
Genghis: killed 40 million people
Me: 😐😐😐

[boyinblue.]

I kid you not, my school didn’t teach about him. And I barely new anything about him for years, I honestly didn’t know he was a thing for awhile. So it’s nice to learn more about him know.

Thought I wanted to be creamated, got a new plan now

[uujeeotgonbayar]

As a Mongolian I have never heard Chinggis Khan’s appearance like that 🤔or Irish or African as some comments say. Also he’s eldest son Zuchi had a succession but he died before his father.

[JoseGranny]

Red hair and green eyes? I've forever pictured him with more Asian characteristics and black hair.

[chaoticklutz]

He also had one of the most badass quotes of all time: 'I am the punishment of God, had you not committed such great sins would God have sent a punishment like me upon you.'
