Genghis Khan On Sukhbaatar Square

Chinggis Khaan (Genghis Khan) has finally fully claimed his thrown again on Sukhbaatar square where this weekend the impressive gallery was revealed. Already during Nadaam time many dignitaries came to pay respect to Chinggis Khaan, including international princes and prime-ministers, but only recently the construction was entirely completed. At last the sizable Chinggis can confidently oversee his people, including a lone horse rider on the middle of the square.

All these people who are saying that Genghis Khan is a blood thirsty murderer are obviously showing that they have lack of knowledge. When you study history, you have to understand in that time era. At that time, land was the most important thing. Genghis Khan was able to conquer the most territory which no other leader accomplished. This shows what a smart leader he was. I people to read books and add knowledge to you brains. Then you might learn that you cant judge someone that easily.

Genghis Khan have my respect. Not everyone is perfect. China was already at peace and united as one with the teaching of Confucius. Warriors go to school and became lazy scholars and forgot how to defend itself. His Yuan(Mongol Dynasty) lasted less than one hundred years because he is a racist and people rebelled.

The Mongol genes is everywhere especially in Asia: Slanted eyes, high cheekbone, round belly.

If you google all his images, he looks like a Chinese/Korean

Only the Japanese and Vietnamese escape most of his genes. But not the current Chinese/Korean genes

There, my two cent...

Mostly all of you have nearly no knowledge in the area of this amazing ruler. The idea that Genghis was a bloodthirsty abomination is completely wrong. In fact, all European monarchs tortured more people, killed more non- warriors, and were far less skilled than Genghis Khan. Most people confuse Attila the Hun, who was very bloodthirsty, with Genghis Khan, who was in no way less civilized than Europe. During his reign, the Mongolian written language, a advanced code of law, and a very efficient pony express (better than the American one in the 17- 1800s) were created. Meanwhile, in Europe, monarchs were planning another crusade (speaking of bloodthirsty), and the "Church" was becoming more and more tainted with power and gold. Genghis Khan always offered to the civilians of a city to open the city gates, and they would always be spared if they did.The second half of his conquests were mostly retaliation against rulers who attacked him or envoys under his protection.Genghis Khan was one of the greatest rulers ever.
