"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."

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.)

@@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.
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.

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.

"The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish" - Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator
I just add some follow-up about Buddhism - Taoism conflict in Khublai's time. Before Khublai confirmed Buddhism as NO.1 religion of the Great Yuan Empire, he invited Buddhist scholars and Taoist to argue. The Buddhists, influenced by its debate tradition since Buddhism came into being in India, easily beat Taoists. BTW, the head of Buddhism scholars in that debate is Drogön Chogyal Phagpa from Tibet. Phagpa convinced Prince Koden, son of Ögedei Khan and grandson of Genghis Khan, to make Tibet as part of the Empire peacefully and accept Tibetan Buddhism. And when Khublai became the emperor of Yuan dynasty, Phagpa also became "帝师"，meaning Imperial Preceptor. In today's China, this part of history is regarded as the first time Tibet became an inseparable part of China.

"The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish" - Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator

Finally, a non-Raid Shadow Legends ad.
I just add some follow-up about Buddhism - Taoism conflict in Khublai's time.
Before Khublai confirmed Buddhism as NO.1 religion of the Great Yuan Empire, he invited Buddhist scholars and Taoist to argue. The Buddhists, influenced by its debate tradition since Buddhism came into being in India, easily beat Taoists.
BTW, the head of Buddhism scholars in that debate is Drogön Chogyal Phagpa from Tibet. Phagpa convinced Prince Koden, son of Ögedei Khan and grandson of Genghis Khan, to make Tibet as part of the Empire peacefully and accept Tibetan Buddhism. And when Khublai became the emperor of Yuan dynasty, Phagpa also became "帝师"，meaning Imperial Preceptor. In today's China, this part of history is regarded as the first time Tibet became an inseparable part of China.
Fantastic video
In a way, he succeeded in being immortal. His DNA lives on within the 16 million descendants today.
For us yes. Not for himself, which is what he wanted. He rejected his own immortality in a sense.
This man went for a ck2 achievement run
Those who have read the Condor Trilogy will probably be familiar with Qiu Chuji and the Quanzhen Sect.
Khan: Priest I want immortality
Priest: 😁😁😁
Mercury is my ally
Isaac Newton 😂😂😂

*Great Emperors and Kings back in the days: We want to live forever.*

Qin Shi Huang:
Why didn't they make me a video about finding immortality like this Mongol?!
Genghis Khan(aka Temujin Khan):

Qin Shi Huang Cries in the corner*
Genghis Khan:
WEAK!

He got eternal life. Don't you think so? How many people gave their 16 minutes of life to him right now? A lot. He will live a long long time.
Finally someone pronounces his name right
