The Great Khan was truly humble. All he wanted was the world and immortality. Is that really too much for a man to ask for?
A true man of _moderation._
actually it makes sense... worldy luxuries are futile..he wants eternity...

@@NyangisKhan Yes, fortunately he was. Can you imagine if he had been a man of Extremes?
Genghis Khan: "What one must do to achieve immortality?"
Qiu Chuji: "To give up hunting and sex."

@@123litera4 Thats why being remembered is the closest we can get to immortality. Death is not a concept they were blind to and every king, emperor and god-emperor have sought greatness to be remembered by for generations. Every consequence of their action affects us today and thus is worthy of being remembered and immortalised.
You mean walking in a park and have a beer?Cesar was stabbed in the back,Napoleon died abandoned an a island.A great ambition to make an empire which falls like a sand castle.About 4000 years covered in blood ,suffering for some fool.And the great losers fighthing for them losing their lives?Any name?Nobody,unknown,they have been fooled.

"For an elderly man to travel such a distance only to tell the World Conqueror, "no", required quite some courage, and the Khan always respected that."
Don't know why, but this made me think of the "Noble Savage" myth. Genghis Khan seems to be the ideal model of the honorbound "barbarian" in some aspects of his persona.
Well, every culture has its quirks like that
You probably know very little about this civilization and their methods, and in my opinion, this cannot be combined with honor as much as possible.
Much of the conquest this horde made was due to promises they did not keep.
Their promises, which they made to everyone around, but did not fulfill.
This can hardly be called an honor.

Great video, as usual! Just a quick note from the characters around 2:45 Historically, there is a distinction between pre-imperial schools of thought 家 (jia), as opposed to a broader "learning/teachings" 教 (jiao). As an example, for Taoism, the "School of the Dao" 道家 (daojia) refers to pre-imperial texts such as the Laozi, Zhuangzi and so on. But if one wants to refer to a broader "Taoist Teachings", including imperial and contemporary texts and practices, then it is written 道教 (daojiao). Same goes for Confucianism: the "School of Academics" 儒家 (rujia) for pre-imperial texts (Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, etc.) and the "Teachings of the Academics" 儒教 (rujiao) for the entirety (+ Sima Qian, Dong Zhongshu, Zhu Xi, etc.) As Buddhism only arrived in China during the imperial Han Dynasty, it is preferable to write Buddhism as "Buddhist Teachings" (佛教 fojiao). The stance "School of the Buddha" (佛家 fojia) can have a political connotation, as in stating that Buddhism is historially on equal grounds to the other pre-imperial schools (家 jia), and as such is as legitimate to the Chinese cultural and intellectual tradition. Such legitimation tactic based on (historically-inacurate) ancient relevance was used by many religious sects whose cosmological elements or teachings were inspired by buddhist elements. (Such "sectarian tradition" can also be seen in some New Ageish Chinese religious movements from the 1980-90's). (I've also seen 家 jia and 教 jiao being used to differentiate intellectual from religious thought, but quite frankly such separation is alien to how these terms were used. Russell Kirkland has discussed this conceptual aspect regarding Taoism.)

There is a 'virtue' called "mertlik or erlik/er kün" in steppe. Its translated "manhood or bravery" but its not compare to describe this term exacly. To explain, basicly "mertlik, erlik/er kün" says "if someone dont tell lie and speak truths, then he is a "mert guy or er kişi/er khün" and you cant kill or punish him like a dishonored or guilty man. This is so important virtue among steppe people. You can say "No" even to Khan, if its true. There is a saying in Mongolian, Turkish and Tungusic "be an 'er kişi/khün' and demand my live as a sacrifice for you". This culture was founded on this code. Kind a chivalry but not only for a group but whole nation.
Ok, I can comfirm that Mongols conquered this channel official.
@@smellypatel5272 The "Turkic" history is also underrated

TBH, barely any channel discusses about Mongol history. But yeah, Genghis Khan's body was not found and he's come back to conquer the world and he's starting with this channel first.
@@smellypatel5272 go one step further and buy Jack Weatherfords book Genghis Khan making of modern world (it’s quite pro Genghis and does somewhat gloss over some atrocities) but it’s an amazing book and if you wanna read about the greatest rags to riches story in history then do that.

@@josebenardi1554 Do you possess sources to validate your claim?
@@josebenardi1554 That's a common misconceptions proven wrong by countless of historians. It's true that pretty similar genetic material is found in millions of ppl today but that's largely due to the fact that his close/extended family (the Khan had hundreds of children but still less than Moulay Ismail Ibn Sharif) had massive amounts of children in different parts of Eurasia while commiting mass genocide.
Genghis Khan attempted the immortality ritual in CK2, but failed 😢
immortality is metaphorical word not literal

Just noticed your Mongol playlist is missing the video about the Crusader-Mongol alliance I think.
Genghis Khan may have died and his empire may have ended. But he lives forever in historical memory and in his millions of descendants.
Who’s Genghis khan?
no, he is dead. it does not make him alive when his name stands in history books or people talk about him for 50.000 years. His body has become earth. He also does not live in his descendants, he just passed genes he got from his parents, no one continues to live via his descendants, they are different people, even his direct descendant ogodei and grandson kublai were different than Genghis. Having this or that character feature or this and that bodily similarity does not make them Genghis. Genghis Khan perished the day he made his last breath.
@Scout887 oh ok calm down, Mr. Obvious.
His legacy is remembered and studied by billions by books and internet, history
Great Video My Friend

@@aimenhibba2605 look at the sign beside his name , channel members get access to videos early.
A video about Mongolian society under his reign would be very interesting. He appeared to be capable of making several different tribes and belief systems live peacefully together for the most part.
Dictatorship provides that. Hence chaos often occurs when one is overthrown.
Very competent and accurate work, K&G.
Such humility can only come from the great khan.
LONGEVITY THRU TAOISM is total scam, apparently. Also, some translation of Chinese terms should be mentioned here：
1. the name of this sect is QUAN ZHEN (perfect & true, or perfectly true, or truly perfect, depending on comprehension).
2. the title of Qiu Chuji is Chang-chun Zi, "the Ever Spring One", "Spring" is fugurative for Youth, thus Ever Spring is a term for Longevity.
Of course it's a scam. Everyone dies, even the universe itself is dying. Most of the stars that we can see (with telescopes) actually don't exist anymore: they disappeared millions of years before their light reached the Earth. The sun itself will explode. This entire universe will disappear. The Creator created the Universe with an expiration date. That is the mystery of our existence. Nothing is eternal in this universe. The only eternal lies beyond.
It's a scam in the same way all religions are a scam. Heaven doesn't exist, unfortunately. Nor does reincarnation or "enlightenment."
Wait, what!? You're telling me religions are just made up?
Qiu Chuje: Stop hunting and sex or you'll live a short life
Genghis Khan: Oh no, so anyways
Genghis Khan: I don't want to be incel 😄
Please make docs about the burmese-siam war. That one is really interesting. If narrating and animations added like the way u do ur videos it would be way too awesome.
I thought Taoist sages only existed in Chinese paintings sitting in a reed hut or flying across the sky in a trance. It's kinda weird how this old, classical Chinese reality from the 6th century BC suddenly found itself transplanted in Samarkand and Afghanistan. Genghis Khan really brought separate worlds together, not just by conquest but by active stimulation of cultural exchange.
He has lived forever in name, so job done!
Not really. We remember him as a terrorist that killed millions of innocent people.
@@mrauay5445 hey, I never said he was remembered in a good light
@@mrauay5445 Remembered, nonetheless. If any sane man were given the choice between dying as a mediocre nice guy, and dying as a great conqueror who fathered many kids (willing or unwilling), 9 times out of 10 he'd choose the latter.

EDIT: However, after watching through this documentary, I recalled the conflicts between Taoists and Buddhists during the reign of Kublai Khan and how differently they are often depicted in fiction. Ever noticed how Taoists are usually wizards (although there are Taoist warriors too) while Buddhists are usually warriors?

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Khan Genghis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the chinese would tell you. It’s a mongol legend. Khan Genghis was a Dark Lord of the mongol, so powerful and so wise he could use the Fear to influence the chinese to create walls… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the fear is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

You know,I've read that some Mongols believe to this day that Genghis became a god,or was a god,so,in a way he did achieve eternal life,and besides,we still remember him,and many see him as a hero,whatever he may have done nobody can deny that he was a very important man,so in some ways he did achieve eternal life
Hero worship is very common in pagan religions, same way Alexander the great was deified after his death, his tomb was a huge pilgrimage point in ancient times and he is still worshiped to this day by some groups just like Genghis Khan by the Mongols.
@@vonbalt4891 for the greeks,other than Hercules and one other demigod,a son of Apollo that was very good at healing,the greeks didn't see heros as deities,more like very powerful and angry spirits,simmilar to saints nowadays
A better example would be Egyptian pharaohs and even some non pharaohs who were important and did great things like generals,architects and administrators,who would be deified after death,and usually worshipped in their local area,but sometimes in all of Egypt
According to the folklore, when Qiu Chuji told the Khan that he could prolong his life for ten more years by abstaining from meat, alcohol, violence, and women, the Khan replied that if he abstained from all those things, then what was the point of living?
Love this channel.
This is probably the coolest sponsor lmfao
Genghis: ''I want to live forever''

Europian teacher deleveri g .good and factual information about whole world.we always like study about europion study material.
So this is where those authors of those xianxia genre novels and manhua got the idea of powerful Taoists usually get away with whatever heinous acts they committed by having powerful supports in their stories. At first, they were really fun to read but they are being overused now. All of the protagonists in those stories are all about becoming the most powerful and beating the heck out of those who foolishly opposed them and/or harmed their friends and families. But none of them try to preach some sort of reformation like equality, human's rights, the rich and the strong should not oppress and taking advantages of the poor and the weak but should help them out of their bad situations. And yes, I read plenty of cultivation manhua enough to know about these stuffs such as Against The Gods, Martial Peak, Peerless Ancient, Peerless Refiner, Tales of Demons and Gods, Forced to become the Villain's Son-in-law, Dragon Throne and many more.
The real reason is because manhua and light novels are being written in modern China and the writers are people who grew up under the shadow of modern China's anti-Daoist official culture. By modern China I don't mean just the PRC but all three parts of Greater China. The suppression of Daoism actually started in the Yuan-era ROC and flared up again under Jiang Jieshi (Chiang Kai-sek), so the undercurrent also exists in arguably more tolerant Taiwan. HK also experienced the same wave of government-sponsored anti-Daoism under British rule. This is because the two Chinese republican governments inherited the Confucianist prejudices of the imperial bureaucracy while the Christian British rulers of course viewed Daoism as a dumb Oriental superstition.
Historically Neo-Confucianists in the Ming and Qing dynasties viewed Daoists as mystics who mislead the public. You can see this in three of the Four Great Novels where the Daoist charlatan archetype is prevalent (Dream of Red Mansions also has a Buddhist charlatan variant) because the writers of all three are of course Confucianists from the scholar class. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms even the hero Zhuge Liang, who practiced mystical Daoism in both real life and fiction, is made to admit that his "sorcery" is just trickery while his "prophecy" is based on years of studying natural phenomena. The novels and manhua you mentioned are just following this ancient trend. In fact, The Ravages of Time (Huo Feng Liao Yuan) followed this to a perfect T with how it handles the historical Daoist "immortals" active in the Three Kingdoms period.
Of course, where the Neo-Confucianists held a disdain for Daoists, Buddhists in the Ming and Qing dynasties were still at war with them. So it doesn't help that all the manhua you mentioned are modeled after Journey to the West because Wu Cheng'en was of course a Buddhist with a major beef against Daoists. You can even see fictionalized accounts of the expulsions mentioned in this video in some of the chapters of Journey. This is the one Chinese cultural treasure that holds most of the blame for portraying Daoist mystics as actually divine and immortal beings who also happen to be morally ambiguous, utterly irresponsible, or sometimes even completely depraved. Wukong's Daoist master embodies all three traits as he knew full well that his student would one day literally wreck Heaven, but he taught the monkey anyway out of pride, then told him never to disclose who his master was. Also, all the monsters are cultivators.
Now, don't get me wrong. I actually AGREE with the PRC on their suppression of mystical Daoism because I have relatives who've spent their way to poverty following unscrupulous Daoist charlatans in real life, and I have a friend who used to live right next door to one of the most famous these assholes and has countless stories about how much of an asshole he is. Here in southeast Asia we still have a more positive view of Daoist mystics, so inevitably charlatans make use of that. However, we have to understand where this negative view of Daoists came from and understand that historically Chinese literati were not so negative in their view of Daoism in their works. Strange Tales of the Liaozhai picture Daoists as legitimate religious functionaries (priests and exorcists) while Investiture of the Gods portrays them as heroes. That may have been the reason the latter couldn't make the grade for the Four Great Novels despite being actually pretty similar to Journey, or maybe it's because its author literally became a Daoist hermit later in life.
Force to Become the Villian's Son-in-law started out decent. He didn't commited genocide like many of other novels' MC. He spared people who didn't pose a real threat, and he helped protect a city. In fact, he was willing to be trear inferior and lead to a trap, because he knew if he resisted than the whole city will get destroy.
@@andrewsuryali8540 This does beg the question: Why nobody decided to break away from this ancient trend? Why don't they write Daoists in the new way by using the examples from the other religions like Islam. Like when the Muslim immigrants in Medina heard that the wealthy elites in Mecca have taken all of the possessions that they've left behind on the caravan to be sold in Damascus, Prophet Muhammad received the command from God that it is now the time to go to war with the Quraysh pagans after being abused, mocked and robbed by them so many times. However, he does put the disciplines on his followers to harm women, children, the cripples or cut down trees. They are only allowed to strike at those who expelled them from Mecca. So by writing those Daoists to fight for justice, equality and human's rights, a new way to portray the Daoist cultivators will emerged.
@@lerneanlion The trend persists because practically all the Daoists the general public in Greater China will meet today ARE charlatans. The real Daoists are secluded away in mountain temples away from the public view and they don't have an enterprising leader in the mold of Shaolin abbot Shi Yongxin. I was genuinely surprised the first time I met an actual Wudang Daoist practitioner in China. I thought they'd all gone extinct. In the materialistic rationalist culture of the PRC and Taiwan today Daoism does seem like an out-of-place anachronistic superstition. The centuries of suppression WORKED, and Daoism today is a parody of its former self. For young and modern manhua writers there is no impetus to rehabilitate the reputation of Daoists because the ones they have contact with in society are exactly those caricatures they inherited from their cultural upbringing.
As for depicting them as defenders of justice and equality, Daoists in history definitely weren't. The problem is that Daoist cultivators were by definition elitists whose lifestyle was more often than not supported by gullible wealthy patrons or who were themselves wealthy gentry with too much free time. Just like in the West, alchemy in China was a rich landowners' pastime. So yeah, the depiction in manhua is more true to history than you may think, albeit grossly and perhaps unfairly exaggerated. That's why if you go to the PRC, the real Daoists there who do show up in public emphasize the philosophical fundamentals in the Yi Jing (I Ching) and the Dao De Jing instead of Celestial Master Zhang's (Zhang Daoling's) mystical teachings. In this way they could (sort of) justify the elitism of Daoist culture by saying it's a school of philosophy for the highly educated instead of a religious movement for the lower classes. It should be noted that ALL the Daoist-inspired peasant rebellions failed, all the way back to the three Zhangs of the Yellow Turbans. That's mostly thanks to the fundamental disconnect between the elite cultivators and their peasant adherents. Cao Cao was very successful in recruiting ex-Yellow Turbans to his cause because, unlike the Zhangs, he actually offered them meritocratic social mobility and allowed many of them to rise up above their allotted stations. The simple fact is that Confucianists and Legalists were far more egalitarian in real history than Daoists ever managed to be.
@@andrewsuryali8540 But the Red Turban Rebellion won and established the Ming dynasty! I know, I know! This dynasty is not a fan of Taoism either. But at least, it must have some roles to play in it, right? And most likely get betrayed by the rising Ming in the end.

In a way, Genghis Khan had cheated death. His legacy means that he will never be forgotten.
It's just not the way(no pun intended with Dao) he wanted.
Funnily the Daoist way of immortality is actually sort of what you say. We all go to where we come from; accepting what already is and being in tune in with it is true immortality.
