Hey thoughty 2
Thanks Arran
Genghis not ghenghis
Don't use those ai thumbnails, or clickbait titles.
One of the many *best* things about your videos and content is that you go straight into the content. There is no time wasting. Your channel has quickly become on my favorite
I don’t care what anyone says. As a nearly decade long subscriber; I’ve never heard anything other than “Hey, forty-two here”.
That's what I hear
That’s because he’s always said forty two. It’s an ode to the book/movie a hitchickers guide to the galaxy which essentially goes as 42 is the answer to the life, universe and everything. Highly recommend the film and movie. Sorry for the grammar errors I’m learning enlgish
@TheArtofFugue Mind blown, boom. So we aren't mistaking thoughty 2 for 42. I saw the movie a long-time ago, nice catch, if so.
@@TheArtofFugue your grammar is far better than a lot of what I see everyday

Jamukha's head wasn’t chopped off. At the time in Mongolian tribes it was customary for nobles to get “bloodless” death upon execution. Jamukha was captured and later got his back broken, that’s how he was executed.
Good one!
As a Mongolian myself i would say this comment was very true according to my and everyone else's knowledge.
correct
Lessons I learned from the video: 1. Build friendships. 2. Leave no potential threat with any power...or alive. 3. Recruit talent, not "titles" (noble birth people) 4. Build loyalty through limited freedoms and money. 5. Don't attack directly. Instead, cut off supply lines and draw out enemies. Make them fight you on your terms. 6. Constantly seek to improve your tactics and technology. Be a lifelong learner. 7. Adapt to your circumstances rather than trying to adapt them to you. Use available resources...like rivers or horse milk (and bl00d). 8. Know your limitations. 9. Strike fast, strike hard...very hard. 10. Use your enemies fear, their anger, and their greed against them. Bonus lesson: 11. Decorate your enemies with liquid silver. Awesome video as always Thoughty2!

This hasn't been approved by Sun Tzu yet though, so it is still just mere speculations as to the art of victories.
@@RearAdmiralTootToot Conquered half of the world, I think this proves something
12. Don't steal other people's wife
It all sounds great until you try putting them together. Let's say recruiting talent instead of entitled people.... Temujin had to loose the important friendship of nobles and instead he made new and powerful enemies within his own people, the Mongol tribes. This powerful aristocracy became better suited as enemy than as friend in the end, but putting that into practice is just impossible. You would need the power to see the future to put it into practice. Temujin had to be very intelligent and charismatic, but also highly lucky...which is possible, just think in lottery winners.

This thoughty2 guy sounds unhinged
This guy is just on a diff level of narrating. So far in my opinion the best piece i have seen from him.
I agree 100%
the name “Genghis” is actually mangled “Chingis”, because westerners learned first about him from Persian and Arabic sources. Since there is no “ch” sound in Arabic, the name “Chengis” was transliterated to “Gengis”. Same thing happened to Osmans which were transliterated to “Othman” in Arabic and became “Ottomans” in Western world.
It was actually “Chungus”
@@JohnNiiggington copy “Чингис хаан” and paste it to youtube search. You will get videos of Mongolians talking about him. Notice how they pronounce the name.
@@JohnNiiggington It's pronounced Chinggis, with 2 [iː] sounds.

Absolutely brilliant. This is better than anything you’d ever see on bbc. This man is a legend
So what is the reason he was unstoppable?
Liu Bang may want a word regarding the greatest rags to riches story. Temujin was born to a chieftain, Liu Bang was a lowly soldier who lost some bandits he had taken charge of as prisoners. So left with a future that was looking very short, as he would now be put to death for being a useless soldier, he ran away. Liu then went and joined up with the bandits he just days earlier held prisoner, and eventually became the 1st emperor of the Han dynasty.
One other point you missed - a recent genealogical survey estimates that 1 in 12 Asians is descended from Genghis. His presence is also felt in modern geopolitics as his raiding was the cause of Middle Eastern demise which sent Arabia back to the dark ages when previously they were comparable to classical Greece in terms of the advancement of their scholarship.
Based chungus khan
No. It was Ghazali who sent the muslim world to darkness and he was brought by Nizam Al-mulk the famous vizier of Great Selchuks. Ghazali was a scholar and philosopher which is like great but also religously bigot. 100 yeras ago before Ghazali, there was Ibn Sina (Avicenna), one of the founders of the medicine. He was also a philosopher and he almost wrote cogitomergo sum nearly 700 years before Descartes. However, it was Ghazali’s teaching soread to muslim communities (with the help of the rulers) and even Ghazali told Ibn Sina’s fairh was corrupt. That was when Middle East went into dark.
He covered that in another video

It's always understated just how much the Steppe tribes impacted and changed history and there's yet to be a video on KZhead that properly mention and examines the ripple effects of the Mongol Empire and the rest out of the Steppes over the course of world history
First the Huns, then the Mongols. Fascinating history really
@@m.c.martinway before the huns … the Xiangnyu confederacy…. Then the Gokturks.
Regarding the Mongol horde’s diet we actually know that they didn’t forage whatsoever & their diet was more or less entirely carnivore. They hunted nearby game, drank the milk of their horses, made yogurt and sour-milk from it, drank their horses’s blood, and ate their horses’s meat. In contrast, the Chinese armies subsided on gruel made from grains, and were regularly ill, whereas Genghis Khan’s men were incredibly robust in health, and could go without food for days at a time. There was a book written about these factors which advocates of the carnivore diet constantly cite to prove their claims of it’s excellent effects on their health-something I fully support being a 6-years-carnivore myself.
They have 400 different kinds of dairy products from various animals for different medical purposes as well as herbal and mineral medical treatments… Even did surgery
What so you eat though?
But dairy like milk n yogurt is not considered carnivore is it?
@@jayvanover4130 I consider it “carnivore”. We in the carnivore community can be quite dogmatic due to the massive amount of scientists and highly-educated nurses, cardiologists etc who are keenly-aware of the detrimental effects that glucose have on the health of the vascular-tree, however I’ve consumed large quantities of raw milk for years on the carnivore diet, although recently (over the past 10 months or so) I’ve been making large amounts of soured-milk in order to enjoy the nutritional benefits yet rid myself of the inflammatory glycation caused by the sugars found in milk. So I’m essentially now “proper” carnivore; keto-carnivore. However I allow myself to have an insulin “bump” every now and then with a small bowl of full-fat yogurt or some milk. At least I’m not consuming grains or fruits and suffering chronic inflammatory glycation like the average normie!😉
@@benji89917 75-80% beef. Tallow, butter, lamb, pork, eggs, cheese, soured-milk, chicken, yogurt, shrimp, muscles…(the list goes on and on)

There is no way to feed an army of 10s of thousands of people through hunting and gathering, no matter how good they are, there is only so much the environment can offer. Mongols were horse eaters, they used their horses as transport and a food source at the same time. That doesn’t mean they ate the horses they rode into battle on, but they had large amount of Mongolian horse cattle with them. Mongolian horses are known to be very resilient and can find food in harsh environments. At the time even a single tribe managed 10s of thousands of horses, so taking some of them to wage a war in another country isn’t something very unusual at the time.
Nah its possible bro, the earths resources can support billions of people
@@joemakumbe9945 not in one given area.
You aare right and according to the stories they wrapped the meat around the thigh of the running horse to cook it in order to save time on the encampment! It is also possible that these were horses that were previously used in battles... The Spanish conquistadors did the same with pigs in South America! I have consistently eaten raw and very lightly seared horse meat and it is delicious! Usually the hind thighs are consumed raw
@@user-tx2nv1rb9kSpnish also 8 people. By the 16th century, cannibalism was not just part of the mental furniture of Europeans; it was a common part of everyday medicine from Spain to England.

There is a sociological concept known as the "Circle of Otherness". Basically, those inside the circle are considered other people, deserving of certain rights, privileges and treatment with respect, and a need to properly justify mistreatment (like, they have committed some crime or transgression), while those outside the circle are not considered "real" people and therefore can be treated accordingly, like animals or worse, by whatever your culture accepts as acceptable for such things. Genghis Khan's life story kind of illustrates a gradual expansion of his personal circle otherness, starting from including just himself, then his family, then his tribe, then all the tribes on his side, and finally to all the people who were in his empire and loyal to him and all peoples willing to submit to his rule and be loyal to him. One of the keys to his success was that he treated the people inside his circle quite well and progressively by the standards of his time. In addition to promoting them based on merit, shared the spoils of war equally, allowed them to practice their own religions freely, he also gave women in his empire more rights and privileges and protections and political power than was typical for the time, and usually forbade his armies from looting and pillaging cities that surrendered to him without a fight. These cities were often allowed to keep most of their existing customs and laws, and some times even their rulers got to keep their positions. This was why so many cities did surrender to the Mongols without fighting, and so many citizens of the empires they invaded ended up joining them and helping them by teaching them things like how to build siege engines. Genghis Khan's reputation for being a genocidal maniac (which is not true. I mean the genocidal part was certainly true, but the maniac part was not. Almost everything Genghis did in his life was carefully considered and planned) comes from the ways he treated people outside his Circle. But it should be noted that the idea that all of humanity belongs inside the circle as a matter of course only became widespread quite some time after Genghis' life. (And in recent times there is growing debate about whether or not certain beings who aren't human should be included inside the circle, such as certain highly intelligent animals, and hypothetical AI with human level capabilities)
What a great quasi-documentary on the phenomenal legend Genghis Khan! I really appreciate that you mostly portrayed him without casting judgment, and credited his non-militaristic accomplishments as well. Your summary at the end of the video was perfect and very well stated. There's no denying his influence in society, government, local and international trade, and military logistics. He brought a lot of good to the world alongside utter destruction, truly a difficult man to understand
dammit, this 45minute video was so interesting that it didn't feel long at all. Also, I loved the fact that he mentioned that westerners view Genghis Khan as a villain, but the other part of the world respect him as a great leader.
My favorite quote here was "For the Jin it was like fighting smoke. Really fucking angry smoke." Too funny.
A 45 min thoughty2 vid? well that's gonna be interesting
So what is the reason he was unstoppable?
I like these longer stories vs the 5-10min older ones, which I already watched all. Keep creating great work @Thoughty2
You failed to mention this little tidbit: If you have ancestors from Eastern Europe, you're very likely descended from the Khan.
From Genghis himself, or his empire? 🤔 it's hard to believe that such a huge population would be descended from one single person
@@Unkn4wN_TM He had hundreds of *acknowledged* grandchildren, and almost certainly hundreds more. His offspring were highly encouraged to be "fruitful" on their campaigns. It has been shown that 0.5% of men have his Y-chromosome, which means a direct line of fathers, so that doesn't count all the lines that lead through women at any point. I've seen estimates as high as 20% of the population have some direct connection, and you can assume that the 80% that don't are from places his men didn't go. My own ancestry is Ukraine and Poland on my father's side, but genetic tests show me to be almost 4% Mongol.
Genghis khan really did - solved global warming - invented job interviews - created a network of goods shipping from different countries - came up with the idea of fair distribution of equity for his soldiers - accepted people of all religions. This dude is the only main character in the game, we just live in the simulation long after he finished the game 😂😂😂

I kind of feel sorry for that governor of the Khwarazmian Empire. At least in the way it plays out in my head. The Shah seemed to genuinely believe that the Mongol traders were spies and it was all to prep for Genghis' next conquest. Which, to be fair, assuming Genghis Khan was going to invade you, would not be a particularly outrageous assumption. So the Shah ordered the governor to treat the Mongol traders as Mongol spies. The governor had to know that order was a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' type of order. Shah: I want you to bitch-slap the most ruthless and powerful man on the planet. Twice. Governor: Might as well borrow large sums of money now since I will never have time to pay it back
I agree to an extent. Perspective is literally the most important factor. He did have another option... he could have given them a longer and less consequential route. He could have even made them avoid his territory altogether, once he realized they had arrived. Instead, he mortalized em and took their stuff. That sounds like he either assumed Genghis didn't want beef out of fear instead of opportunity, or that maybe he didn't realize who sent those traders.
Alas, in hindsight it was indeed a fuckup. A fuckup, outcome wise, the biggest one ever in human history.
You shouldn't. I'm from Uzbekistan (central asia, Khwarezm is part of my country) and we do have historical records of Genghis khan written by central asian historians. Shah was so arrogant, He did what his religion explicitly stated not to do (kill the diplomats). Safe to say, he had it coming. Another governor of a different state in the Khwarizmi empire said when captured "spilling royal blood is a curse in my religion" so Genghis khan ordered him to be rolled in a carpet and be beaten to death so his blood wouldn't be spilled on the ground...
I suppose the Governor and the Shah had another option. If they believe the merchants were spies, then just refuse them entry into the territory/city and politely decline. Then send them home unharmed and without stealing their stuff. All right, it still might not be entirely wise to turn around and say no, but perhaps send a small diplomatic party back with the merchants to meet and ascertain whether friendship really was being offered.

Napoleon gave the French Revolution and the Enlightenment teeth. It sounds like Genghis Kahn created a lot of his own enlightenment and of course also gave it teeth. This presentation does a wonderful job of clarifying why GK was so successful. Notwithstanding some cruelties that arguably tainted his professional militarism, he was a genius general, politician and economist. Instituting meritocracy and treating religion as a non-issue (as it should be) are lessons some of today's politicians and economists seem to be forgetting. And how about attacking and weakening civilian economies to the point where it begins to erode military redoubts you can't attack directly? Today's leaders need to sit in on more of GK's lectures and take good notes. Thanks, T2 for another beautifully done presentation.
Thank you for the story and narration, Thoughty2. It was, by far, the most i have ever enjoyed a history lesson. Definitely did nof feel 45 minutes long, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I always try to catch each new video ever since I subscribed, which I did after listening to my first Thoughty2 story. Great job.

What a ride this is. Thoughty2 you really are good at this. No minute -- no second -- wasted whenever you upload long-form videos.
More interesting than that some CO2 went out of the atmosphere for 200 years after his death, is that he got uber lucky in that there was a relative abundance of CO2 locked up in wood BEFORE HIS BIRTH, like a multi-generational anomaly, and it was focused on and around Mongolia, such that people surmise someone would have conquered even if it wasn't him. He was just born in the right place right time on top of a 10th century oil boon. It wasn't oil, but having wood to burn meant making extra babies and moving armies around much easier, relatively speaking. Wood was food (via cooking). Wood was industry. Carbon in plants and animals was literally food.
Love these long videos with epic narration as always😊😊

43:38 ... if anything, it would be his belief in freedom of religion that caused so many people to align themselves with him. In that era the concept was basically unheard of, and nothing will make a person more hostile than force them to abandon their deeply-held beliefs to be forced to believe in something else. His success was built upon many things, but I truly believe that the reason his followers supported him so much was that: freedom of religion. Second: Meritocracy. When you allow very talented "nobodies" to shine with skills that would otherwise be concealed under a caste system, you bring forth brilliant minds (such as his blacksmith general). Splitting the loot evenly made every warrior feel equal and therefore less likely to become jealous or angry at the ones who have more (cutting down on mutiny/coups). But, all things considered, by allowing freedom of religion, I think this was what united the people to support this military genius. He was brutal, yes, but was he that much more brutal than other leaders throughout history? Not for the era of his rule. I fully understand why he is still revered by Mongols today. He was Mongolia's George Washington.
Commie Genghis
What I'm learning from this is that if you want your people to conquer the world, pay them well, show them respect, and promote based on merit, not social standing.

This is one of your best videos for sure. I wasn't the biggest fan of Gengis Khan before this (as in I didn't really know much more than his name and kill count) so i'm not saying this as a fan of the subject. The pacing and presentation was spot on, 45 minutes gone in a blink and I find myself with a new appreciation for mongol history that I didn't have before. Very good.
In Sacred Mongols History, an important historical written memorial of the mongols, it is (as far as I remember) directly said that Jin jurchens hired him as a commander for one of their outer border regions, kinda like Crimea hired cossacks. They gave him resources and money, and he promised to keep other hordes away from Jin lands. Instead he used his position to consolidate power over him. Funny thing is that later same thing would be done by Russians against remnants of Mongolian Empire - Moscow had arised mostly as a tax collecting center, and so a Moscow prince, a position established to better control the slavs, would rise into an independent power.
This made me realize how little I know about Asian history - a huge part of the human story. Thank you for piquing my curiosity!
This was a great production , thank you!
What an amazing video! Thank you for providing an unbiased and quite accurate explanation of who he truly was. Genuinely appreciate how you depicted him mostly without judgment and acknowledged both his militaristic and non-militaristic achievements.

It should be noted that Subutai's strategy of avoiding the Jin fortified cities and outposts would not have worked for a normal military force. One of the main points of having such fortified positions is that if the enemy tried to go around them, you could sally forth with your own forces from those protected points and hit the enemy's logistical supply lines. So the enemy has no choice but to pacify your fortifications before advancing further into your territory. But the Mongols had almost no supply lines. That along with their unprecedented movement speed was what allowed them to essentially "break" the normal established rules of war and do something no one else had previously thought possible.
Thank you so much for such great content. Really enjoyed it
