The gold plate on their head is just a metaphor for the potential bandits being so scared of Mongol retaliation that even if the traders walked the trail while flaunting all the wealth they owned , the bandits wouldn’t dare attack.

IDK if this is a wellknow fact- but the Mongels were terrified of thunderstorms, and hid in their tents likely praying and shitting themselves. Imagine how different history would be if some enemy folks were trotting by on their horseys, and saw that. Either the Mongels would have to get over it really fast, or history would be very different.
Can you talk about John Brown and his raid on Harpers Ferry? Currently learning in my college history course and I thought you would like to cover some facts or unknown facts about John Brown, his companions, or the raid itself.
Can you do a video on how Afghanistan fought the British in 3 wars in the 1800-1900s and won . Everyone knows about the Soviet and United States invasion but the fact that the United States didn’t even have an ambassador In Afghanistan until after ww2 just shows that we don’t remember a lot about Afghanistan in the late 19th and early 20th century .

In the 1950s John Wayne made a movie about Genghis Khan. The film was shot downwind of a Nuclear testing site and they even used radioactive sand for studio shots. As a result nearly half the cast got cancer.
great video as always ! please make video about Islam kingdoms or Muhammad. He is not just prophet but a founder of world-shaking kingdom that brought Persia and Constantinople to their demise
Pretty sure the British Empire controlled three quaters of the World's land mass at it's peak, so about the Mongols having the largest Empire ever, it just doesn't logically work.
This is a nice thing to know about Important for history I bet they were a force that other countries never even considered and were unprepared against

Seriously, I'm over all you people bashing the other narrator. It's hateful & it's tiring. I appreciate this channel no matter who's narrating. If you like one more than the other because you can't be an adult about it, fine. Tune out when he's narrating. But I'm not going to come on here and rip on him & make him feel like he's a POS. DAMN. 🤦♀️
Of course he was an evil(if there is such) genius. Ive noticed place and time are what u make them. Right place,right time could be considered the wrong place,wrong time if u think it is. Some people are just able to manipulate any evironment by making weaknesses strengths and making an enemies strengths their weakness
The Mongol conquests of the 13th century resulted in widespread and well-documented destruction. The Mongol army conquered hundreds of cities and villages and killed starved millions of people. One estimate is that about 10 percent of the world's population was killed either during or immediately after the Mongol invasions, around 37.75-60 million people in Eurasia.These events are regarded as some of the deadliest acts of mass killing in human history. But gotta admire their tactics right!? Lmao🙄 This is just a brief point to the brutality....but YAY ..they sound awesome
Genghis Khan- any relation to Kubla Khan ? Or Madeline Kahn ? Or James Caan ? The Cannes Film Festival or the French city ? Or nefarious "artists" named Con ? Yes indeed, one tends to wonder.... Sorry. 🚬😎👍
I want a collab between the weird history and nutty history channels where they each try and one up each other with facts and jokes 😂
They’re not both done by the same guy? They sound so similar
Sooooo... I had to check the voice first 😅
Exactly the same
They do the same dumb crap over at Weird History Food. 💀 Just keep the same damned narrator.
For sure. If it's not this guy I'm clicking off. 😂

The title is a reference to "wolf of the Steppes."

@@gadaadyn8190haha nice! ☺️
I counted at least two startrek references in the titles.
Genghis Khan was mentioned directly in Star Trek Discovery. Apparently he ruled the same way in the Mirror Universe
5:08 considering how many Mongols carried the Kahn's blood, a meritocracy was the only fair way to run his society.
Never underestimate nomads. The persians underestimated Arabs, Europeans underestimated Huns and Magyars, the whole world underestimated Mongols
4:34 That’s a portrait of Tibetan ruler Songtsen Gampo with the princess of Tang China
Mangudai needing a nerf since 13th century, enough said.

TIMELINE please!!
They still make the best pencils
If they recorded his battles like they did for Napolean it would make for a better movie
Absolute badasses
The simple answer is the “settled” civilizations of the time was not doing well with exceptions like India and Egypt.
I wonder if this commentator knows how popular he is😂
I was about to unsub if he'd stayed away.
Where's the beef, Genghis?
Oh, you're in trouble, dum dum!
You bettter run run
From Atilla the Hun Hun.
See you later, dum dum.

great video as always !
please make video about Islam kingdoms or Muhammad. He is not just prophet but a founder of world-shaking kingdom that brought Persia and Constantinople to their demise
When you hear about these conquers does anyone else hear ACDC's Big Balls playing in their heads?
Please do goryeo too
Resubscribed
most of that land empire was - and still is - unpopulated
China would disagree its “unpopulated”
If you never build a road or any buildings and never issue coinage, I don't think that's an empire.
Crazy how nobody's ever asked, or cares
Crazy how you’ve never created an empire
It's not an empire. It's the worlds largest extortion racket.
When it was all over the Mongols wiped out over 40 million people.
Can you do the Holy Roman Empire?
Pretty sure the British Empire controlled three quaters of the World's land mass at it's peak, so about the Mongols having the largest Empire ever, it just doesn't logically work.
Lets be honest, most of the land mass they didnt even step into but just draw line on their maps.
One quarter, not three. Still impressive though.
The distinguishing factor is “contiguous” empire, i.e. continuously connected via borders.
@@guy8646 Semantics, they were bigger.
Theyre the exception.
I need a Crash Course on it 😂
Did they do the timeline of worst year?
"When did the Mongols rule China?" - Ted
"I don't know, I just work here." - Circle K clerk
I'm not supposed to be here.
Why do I feel like I have seen this video before? 😂 Maybe dejavu.
This is a nice thing to know about
Important for history
I bet they were a force that other countries never even considered and were unprepared against
Isn’t Genghis supposed to be pronounced like Jenghis or Chingis?
I've heard chinggus most often
Yep.
Chungus
Chinggis Khan. Mongolians get upset when you mispronounced it

Sorry.
🚬😎👍
Or Khan Noonien Singh?😅
Time to deal with the Napoleonic Empire, isn't it?
Writing "Khan" is wrong. It means province in old Mongolian. "Khaan" is correct and means a king. Also "Chinggis Khaan" is the correct title.
I love you beautiful voice but I just hate Asian history, I'm so sorry lol
❤
Plus how are you going to do weird history with a "normal" voice.
They didn't conquer the world they conquered parts of it
