A day in the life of a Mongolian queen - Anne F. Broadbridge

As dawn breaks over a moveable city of ten thousand yurts, Queen Boraqchin readies her kingdom for departure to their summer camping grounds. While her husband, the grandson of Genghis Khan, is out raiding, she juggles the duties of managing flocks, family and a city of thousands. Anne F. Broadbridge outlines a day in the life of a Mongolian queen.

Lesson by Anne F. Broadbridge, directed by Els Decaluwe.

Imagine the thousands of kids saying this repeatedly along the way.
*"Are we there yet?"*

One thing people forget about Mongolian noblewomen, they did just as much for their people as noblemen did.

I love how this queen doesn't act like one. Instead she is a servant to her subjects. Something all rulers should note

[jennifercavenee]

Genghis Khan? Never heard of him.
"Boraqchin's husband's grandfather"
Oh yeah, that guy.

"When she finds the sheep, he runs into the middle of the herd, to his mother who's in labor."
Aww, I love that. It seemed like he was trying to get the queen's attention, "Help! My mom needs help!" What a sweet little sheep. <3

Leadership by example, humility, confidence, compassion and duty. All the qualities of a perfect leader.

This is how they conquered half of Eurasia: a built-in knowledge of logistics that other empires can only dream about.
