@@Briefed_Mythology He is one of the most violent and remarkable men that ever lived. I hold him in enormous regard. The fact that I have Central Asian ancestors on my mother's side is just a bonus.
I’m struggling a bit with the narration, I feel like his words are often not spoken cleanly and the recording isn’t the best. That being said I have only just found this channel and I have been impressed with the over all presentation and imagery.
Genghis Khan is an example, that anyone can become a demon in war, and this despite that fact, his one of the most progressive and benevolent ruler towards his people. Then again, the difference good is never clearcut black and white, good and evil depends on ones upbringing and beliefs.
@@RavenRoe108 pretty much, and by the time they are at the point of leaving no survivors, you kinda have to think about what happens when you do leave survivors. And the hard knocks school you have to learn that in. And that's some last stand, kill or be killed , nothing to lose mindset, and he still managed to recreate amazing civilizations. People who weren't there love to criticize as if they don't see the industrialized civilization that people insist their peers fall in line with, so the Nazis don't even have to get their hands dirty this time for 2.0.
A maiden could walk from one end of his empire to the other, with a bowl of jewels in her hands, and go unmolested. An enemy could spit on his name, and their entire civilization would be gone by the next season.
@ArinKambitsis Actually, no. Way less people died than you'd think. The Mongols were equally famous for assimilation as they were for annihilation. No ruler wants their kingdom to be empty.
One of my favorite retelling of his invasion of Persia was a comparison to a boxing match between two new prodigies. Two growing empires, led by what was perceived as the two most prolific leaders and generals of their era, going head to head for the first time. And before the match, both sides are seen as having a chance of getting away with the W. Until the fight starts, and one fighter proves himself to be in a completely different category.
What are you talking about?! Persia is so much older and it's famous wars were with greerks and romans! after arab invasion there was no persian empire for centuries! At the time mongol's attack, persia was being rulled by iranized turk dynasties!
@@saeedkamali2025he might be thinking of the Khwarazmian Empire, as I’ve heard Dan Carlin give the same analogy in reference to them and the mongols, it had became the greatest power in the Muslim world, defeating the Seljuk Empire and the Ghurid Empire becoming one of the worlds largest land empires, The Great khan & the Mongol armies conquered it in two years. The shah kept executing Mongolian diplomats, till the Khan had enough & invaded
genghis khan was only called red hair n green eyed in ONE account 200-300 years AFTER his death by some Persian historian yet was never mentioned in any of the offical mongol sources,chinese sources or india sources etc. most historian consider it unreliable.
yup that's very very fair and I see how many think its unreliable. my thing is just that it is the only description we have of his that is completely objective and unbiased
@@Briefed_Mythology .......there is a painting of genghis khan by his grandson's decree which is considered the closest to what he may have looked like.....
@@Briefed_Mythology Not only was that account from Persia came 300 years later, it was highly mistranslated. In the original text it didn't mention him having red hair at all, it actually mean his skin being red (from all that sunlight exposure). There's also a portrait made by his own grandson Kublai Khan who saw him when he was kid and there's no red hair or blue eyes. People who ignore that portrait and keep repeating the mistranslation are either very ignorant or just white supremacists.
The Chinese have written records from during the Mongol occupation of Mongol’s bringing in people with different colored eyes from other parts of the empire to China, so it seems they definitely would have made note of Chinggus having unusual colored eyes as well if this were a known fact. The Chinese would have no reason to leave that bit out considering they saw the Mongols as foreign invaders anyway.
Great video! I’m a foreigner that’s been living in the Inner Mongolian grasslands for years doing Mongolian wrestling. All you said is spot on and a great job preserving it. Keep killing it ✊🏾🙏🏾
Fun fact, there’s a good chance ghenghis khan is buried in this mountain in Mongolia but the people from Mongolia still respect him so much, that they made the maintain sacred and forbid people from visiting it
This was super super interesting. I love the take on world history as compared to mythology history and I would LOVE to see more videos like this. Keep up the great work!
13th century Central Asia was a ethnically mixed place by this time period. So yeah. Mixed features gets the best of all worlds. The toughest place on Earth, requires the toughest people on Earth. What Temujin was saying it was the culture and life experience is what made his life, not his blood. And his people didn't bury their dead. They'll never find a grave.
I have introduced this channel to the people at home and it's a hit. we do story time differently now coz the movies be mis-representing a lot of these historical figures keep up the good work !! Much love from Malawi 😀
15:50 Now where have I heard this before about about a ruthless bloody conqueror going around a wall to destroy his neighboring theoretically superior enemy
This is my new favorite channel. I've recently started to actually appreciate history, once thought it wasn't important because they're all gone. Could not be more incorrect, although this is relative to me. Some will stand by their fact that it doesn't matter & that's okay. That is just not me anymore.
I really do enjoy your work… I’m just starting to go thru the videos. You got the knowledge and you got the style… the panache. Thanks and keep on spreading the Grey Matter Power Juice👍🏻
Great video! I'm not surprized that the Mongols had progressive rights for women. It seems as though that is a more common feature of nomadic "barbarian" societies. The Cossaks are a good example of this as well.
The reason Ghengis Khan doesn’t have a moniker like, “the Great”, or “the Conquerer” is the same reason why Augustus Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte don’t - and the same reason Alexander and Kang do. Last names. Not surnames, but a second name that both distinguishes them and makes them sound distinguished. It has nothing to do with “White Washing”. For further evidence, I point to 14:15 in your own video. Ghengis Khan comes with a cool moniker included.
Dude, incredible video! So well done. Always looking forward to your videos. Your clips are always on point! Just curious, are you going to do a Christmas themed one?
I'd say this is the most underrated channel that I've watched. In today's madness of short content and 10 seconds attention span, I watch these videos in one breath. Keep it up!
Those were some cold lines. "If you conquer from West to East, you're great like Alexander. If you conquer from East to West you're a barbarian like Genghis Khan" but so true in a Western historical standpoint.
18:20 Ibn Taymiyya who fought against the Mongols also wrote that the Khawarizmian King first Accepted the Trade deal of Genghis Khan, But once he saw that Genghis sent 400 men instead of a few Traders, he knew Genghis Khan was creating an Excuse to invade him
I recently found your videos and I love them! I’ve been watching them all day! Please do some videos on the Persian empire and Persian kings and conquerors, they have a lot of interesting stories!!
Damn that was a good one bro. To be honest I'm riding with that man. His acceptance was something I wish the world would have taken to heart. Is it true he was a fan of magic? I believe to be truly great in this world you have to be open minded. Yet as Jordan Peterson said "you must also be a monster." And maybe this world wouldn't be in such a tragic tragic state if we just took a couple more lessons from this guy. It seemed that respect honor and loyalty mattered more than anything else, and today those are some of the rarest qualities we see in humans, everybody's always trying to f*** over the next person cut the next person's throat do anything they can to cut one person out and in reality if we stood next to each other loyal and honest the world would not be in shambles with idiots and horrible evil people running the world, into the ground. Much like Khan everybody is so quick to demonize people rather than learn from them. Thank you again my man for such a great f****** video sharing insights to our ancestors and their lives that so very much need shared. You are truly one of the great storytellers of this era. Thank you
@@Briefed_Mythology Thanks, it's okay me and Rudy had 13 good years together. Almost ready for another buddy, been about 2 years. He was 3/4 yellow lab and 1/4 siberian husky.

Any plans for a video/series on Sengoku era Japan some day? Haven't caught your boy's name yet. Is he... rhodesian ridgeback? I'm not too good at spotting breeds.

Ibn Taymiyya, a Famous Muslim Scholar and an Expert Swordsman, he fought against the Mongols in "Battle of Marj al-Saffar" and wrote many things about them, About their Tactics, their Torture methods, Their Culture etc. i highly suggest reading his writings about the Mongols
My guy, the whole red hair/green eyes thing is something not entirely uncommon to claim by asian rulers to seem 'unique' or 'otherwordly' and more worthy of being the ruler. For example, the chinese emperor of Wu, Sun Quan, was described to have a purple beard and green/blue eyes.
Thracians. Mercenaries . Used by Greeks, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, they had no loyalty to any nation, could be on Assyrian side , and then Babylonian side - but always Mercenaries - Red haired and Green Eyed,, alot became rulers, Kings, Queens,, Boodica for instance,, Sythians .. They never themselves became an Empire, but colonised in every land.
Awesome job! I just stumbled on your channel. The red hair of Genghis Khan caught my eye, so I wanted to see what this was about. I did not expect to sit and watch for 30 mins. But your storytelling skills, animation and humor had me hooked 😂🤣😂 I look forward to watching some more of your videos. Curious if you plan on doing a video on King Kamehameha of Hawaii. That would be an interesting story. But there are so many warriors in history, I’m sure you can go on forever with these stories.
Omgosh! I found yr channel last night and began tearing through all the historical pieces of mostly real ppl beginning with Octavian (I hadn't gone all the way back to the start of your videos yet), but after going back and watching this here about badass GK, I am THRILLED that you pronounced the man's name correctly! As a student of ancient history myself, it always astonishes me that folks won't dig just a little deeper for what could seem like small details but really, saying the name of a HUGE personality from our past IS kinda important, like "JENGIST" Khan. His name begins with a J sound like "jet," and not a G as in "get." Same with my girl CleopaDRA Ptolemy VII. After attempting to learn Egyptian hieroglyphics in my youth, (& not succeeding at that time) I discovered that HER cartouche has a D and NOT a T. Her name was CleopaDRA, NOT CleopaTRA! Get it right people. On yes and her sister, whom she had murdered "Arsinoe?" This lady's name is pronounced "Ar sin no way," in the traditional Greek- Macedonian language rules, and not in bad, modern English as " Ar sin no. " Again, some details may seem small but getting a person's name right shouldn't be one of them, and especially notable people in our collective history. Am I right? Anyway, THANK you (50 times) for telling anyone who watches yr videos the correct way to say this great man's title! Now, onto the next video, oh and btw GREAT job on yr Artemis video! 👍 I feel sure that by the end of today, I'll be your newest sub. Rock on!!! 😀🤘 Sincerely (from Florida), Lady Aszneth @Briefed
Thank you for this beautiful comment. You know what - I didn’t know that about Kleopatra. It’s odd sometimes though because at times I will go with the wrong pronunciation even though I know it’s wrong simply because the name is too common. Zeus would be an example for that. Also in my Julius Caesar video I mispronounced his name. It’s tough but I do strive to get it right. What bothers me with real people is when it’s just entirely and utterly mispronounced with not a single thought given. To the point where you could never guess the spelling for how horribly it is pronounced
@@Briefed_Mythology - you're welcome B! I know mispronouncing a name or title can be tough at times, and especially if some folks have thick accents OR simply don't know. All that is forgivable. But doing ANY kind of research on an actual historical person? Yeah, go that few pages more OR some online linguistic help and get the name right. And yup! As for our Queen Ptolemy, it's true. Her cartouche has NO "T" where it should be, but a "D" instead and it's easy to research with zero dispute. But, folks are SO used to how her name has been pronounced over the ages, I'm guessing most folks don't know and probably not enough Archaeologists out there to correct the error. Until my next comment somewhere, rock on and take care. 😒👍 Aszneth "Asz" And yes, my own name is an ancient female name from Kemet. It's a slightly different spelling of the traditional name of "Asenath." Most notable as Joseph's wife. Jacobs Joseph that is. During my previous research, I'd discovered a couple different spellings so I'm glad mine is slightly different and from what I can tell would've be pronounced a bit differently than her name. As we all know, no one knows (sadly) what the language sounded like and all that verbiage in the Mummy films (with Brendan Fraser) was phonetic gibberish. Oh well, LOL!
Top notch narration,presentation and overall bad ass video ! Subbed in the first 5 mins and looking forward to reviewing your other content . Thank you for your efforts to educate us and excited for your future content .
Mongolia borders Russia, the border being effectively a melting-pot in the past, so I don't doubt that some Mongols had red or probably Auburn hair, and eyes colored other than brown, just as many otherwise "white" Slavs of Russia, have wide Asiatic cheekbones even though blonde and blue eyed.
I noticed that you basically skipped over a lot of details, there is another channel called extra history bro their video had more details and information then yours and also they didn't pronounce the word "khan" as "Han".
Genghis Khan never attacked anyone unprovoked. One might argue that he answered these provocations disproportionately, but he never just attacked anyone strictly for his own gain. It was always in response to a perceived dis. He also valued power over wealth, because, based on his observations, with power, one could always acquire wealth, but wealth could not buy you power (ah, the good old days…). Thusly, he left most of the plunder to his army, which made them happy, & loyal. LEGEND. ✌🏼
I always understood The Great Khan to have Turkic ancestry... To get a description of Ghengis Khan, look at the Tarim Basin Mummies. They all have red/blond hair with green/blue eyes. Same with the Ainu of Japan. This doesn't mean they are "white" in the western sense, but definitely have similar ancient ancestors such as the Yamnaya or the Andronova culture. You have to take into account the historical records have been altered during Russian and Chinese Communist revolutions. So its not all "whitewashing" as you say. The Uyghurs are descendants of The Great Khan. Look how they are treated today in China.
Thanks for the awesome tale professor can i ask is it possible to do a video about Shaka iLembe the African king as someone from Africa it would be awesome to hear about him

I didn't know that a person can be benevolent and a rapist or is it because it's a certain century is what makes rape an pillaging ok
It's not really accurate to judge someone during times of war.
ACTIONS determine commitment to beliefs - upbringing shapes but doesn't necessarily define

For example, the chinese emperor of Wu, Sun Quan, was described to have a purple beard and green/blue eyes.
Thracians. Mercenaries . Used by Greeks, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, they had no loyalty to any nation, could be on Assyrian side , and then Babylonian side - but always Mercenaries - Red haired and Green Eyed,, alot became rulers, Kings, Queens,, Boodica for instance,, Sythians .. They never themselves became an Empire, but colonised in every land.
Great presentation
Awesome job! I just stumbled on your channel. The red hair of Genghis Khan caught my eye, so I wanted to see what this was about. I did not expect to sit and watch for 30 mins. But your storytelling skills, animation and humor had me hooked 😂🤣😂 I look forward to watching some more of your videos.
Curious if you plan on doing a video on King Kamehameha of Hawaii. That would be an interesting story. But there are so many warriors in history, I’m sure you can go on forever with these stories.
I have watched it a million times but truly the story of Genghis Khan keeps being interesting
Omgosh! I found yr channel last night and began tearing through all the historical pieces of mostly real ppl beginning with Octavian (I hadn't gone all the way back to the start of your videos yet), but after going back and watching this here about badass GK, I am THRILLED that you pronounced the man's name correctly! As a student of ancient history myself, it always astonishes me that folks won't dig just a little deeper for what could seem like small details but really, saying the name of a HUGE personality from our past IS kinda important, like "JENGIST" Khan. His name begins with a J sound like "jet," and not a G as in "get."
Same with my girl CleopaDRA Ptolemy VII.
After attempting to learn Egyptian hieroglyphics in my youth, (& not succeeding at that time) I discovered that HER cartouche has a D and NOT a T. Her name was CleopaDRA, NOT CleopaTRA! Get it right people. On yes and her sister, whom she had murdered "Arsinoe?" This lady's name is pronounced "Ar sin no way," in the traditional Greek- Macedonian language rules, and not in bad, modern English as " Ar sin no. "
Again, some details may seem small but getting a person's name right shouldn't be one of them, and especially notable people in our collective history. Am I right?
Anyway, THANK you (50 times) for telling anyone who watches yr videos the correct way to say this great man's title!
Now, onto the next video, oh and btw GREAT job on yr Artemis video! 👍
I feel sure that by the end of today, I'll be your newest sub. Rock on!!! 😀🤘
Sincerely (from Florida),

@Briefed
Thank you for this beautiful comment. You know what - I didn’t know that about Kleopatra. It’s odd sometimes though because at times I will go with the wrong pronunciation even though I know it’s wrong simply because the name is too common. Zeus would be an example for that. Also in my Julius Caesar video I mispronounced his name. It’s tough but I do strive to get it right. What bothers me with real people is when it’s just entirely and utterly mispronounced with not a single thought given. To the point where you could never guess the spelling for how horribly it is pronounced
@@Briefed_Mythology - you're welcome B! I know mispronouncing a name or title can be tough at times, and especially if some folks have thick accents OR simply don't know. All that is forgivable. But doing ANY kind of research on an actual historical person? Yeah, go that few pages more OR some online linguistic help and get the name right.
And yup! As for our Queen Ptolemy, it's true. Her cartouche has NO "T" where it should be, but a "D" instead and it's easy to research with zero dispute. But, folks are SO used to how her name has been pronounced over the ages, I'm guessing most folks don't know and probably not enough Archaeologists out there to correct the error.
Until my next comment somewhere, rock on and
take care.
😒👍

"Asz"
And yes, my own name is an ancient female name from Kemet. It's a slightly different spelling of the traditional name of "Asenath." Most notable as Joseph's wife. Jacobs Joseph that is. During my previous research, I'd discovered a couple different spellings so I'm glad mine is slightly different and from what I can tell would've be pronounced a bit differently than her name. As we all know, no one knows (sadly) what the language sounded like and all that verbiage in the Mummy films (with Brendan Fraser) was phonetic gibberish. Oh well, LOL!
The mental warfare the mongols played at is in a league of its own
Top notch narration,presentation and overall bad ass video ! Subbed in the first 5 mins and looking forward to reviewing your other content . Thank you for your efforts to educate us and excited for your future content .
Just a few minutes in, and i am a fan. Great job!
thank you 🥹
Just a few minutes in, and I dont want to see this guy again. Calling Christians mass murderers? thats complete bull.
My word another top class video. Thank you my bro. Love this stuff ❤
Man! Keep killin it with the content! Just subbed. Can’t wait to see you hit 1M subs!
Mongolia borders Russia, the border being effectively a melting-pot in the past, so I don't doubt that some Mongols had red or probably Auburn hair, and eyes colored other than brown, just as many otherwise "white" Slavs of Russia, have wide Asiatic cheekbones even though blonde and blue eyed.
Well put together video :)
thank you 😊
I noticed that you basically skipped over a lot of details, there is another channel called extra history bro their video had more details and information then yours and also they didn't pronounce the word "khan" as "Han".
I stopped watching this vid and went to the channel you mentioned and in fact it was a better channel that goes into more detail
Haters
Can you do one on Attilla as well?
Great content, great narration, subscribed
Nice one. Enjoyed that.
Another amazingly well-done video.
The Sgt. Lincoln Osiris scene was to perfect!!!
Genghis Khan never attacked anyone unprovoked. One might argue that he answered these provocations disproportionately, but he never just attacked anyone strictly for his own gain. It was always in response to a perceived dis.
He also valued power over wealth, because, based on his observations, with power, one could always acquire wealth, but wealth could not buy you power (ah, the good old days…). Thusly, he left most of the plunder to his army, which made them happy, & loyal.
LEGEND. ✌🏼
But then again he killed those genarals who wanted to save their cities and the people of those cities from his wrath.
Are you calling the TH-camr a legend or genghis 😂
Man I love your story telling style! ❤
thanks serge 😊
Love these videos, keep up the great work.
thank you Kira 😊
I love this channel
I always understood The Great Khan to have Turkic ancestry...
To get a description of Ghengis Khan, look at the Tarim Basin Mummies. They all have red/blond hair with green/blue eyes. Same with the Ainu of Japan. This doesn't mean they are "white" in the western sense, but definitely have similar ancient ancestors such as the Yamnaya or the Andronova culture. You have to take into account the historical records have been altered during Russian and Chinese Communist revolutions. So its not all "whitewashing" as you say. The Uyghurs are descendants of The Great Khan. Look how they are treated today in China.
Another anime adaptation contender. Dope vid
need an anime on this 100%
