do you think he would be angry or amused if the countries he once ruled used him as an excuse to invade the rest of the world
Jose Taylor
He literally is the person who influenced the world most in history Of course, than Christ and Abraham And Westerners would like to deny this, but that would not be possible
Dominic Anderson
He was also a cuck. Are cucks the real masterrace?
Jacob Perry
And Muhammad and Alexander desu
Adrian Anderson
I wish, he did not exist, and I was truly white :(
Ryder Davis
>his actual name was Temujin... but everyone on Earth, centuries after his death, refers to him by his title, Genghis Khan, which literally means "Supreme Ruler"
I don't see the big deal. I always refer to Hitler as Fuhrer and Kim Il-sung as the Eternal President, even in casual conversation.
Brandon Wright
>born a peasant Peasants weren't a thing among nomadic tribes, since they didn't work the land. I guess shepherds are the closest thing to them.
Jayden Young
Wasn't he an orphan of the leader of a minor clan?
Evan Thomas
Jochi had a hard life
Nicholas Gomez
immense respect to this guy, Mongols are really cool tbqh
Lucas Moore
I wonder if there was a similar figure involved with Bronze Age collapse. Massive migrations of nomadic tribes destroying everything in their path wasn't really a concept invented by Genghis.
Austin Campbell

Alexander had more impact.
Grayson Price

Gavin Turner
Mongol empire is objectively shit tier. They brought nothing worthy of note to humanity, a litteral nigger tier society.
What's crazy is that Genghis Khan even raped his own mom and killed his half-brother
Bentley Foster
Fucked if they weren't good at killing middle easterners and chonks though Alexander has nothing on this cunt he was handed the best army in the world and an empire next door to slot into the top of
Jaxson Bailey
>Genkhis Khan before Jebus Christ doubtful. We're talking about religion that shaped the entire planet and is the only one to ever leave this planet.
Genghis Khan shaped Asia. His impact in the westernmost regions of his empire (today's western Russia, Belarus and Ukraine) while definitely nothing to sneeze at during his lifetime and maybe a century after his death is completely negligible today. So really we're talking about Asia proper and nowhere else.
Aren't Mongols supposed to be Turkic? Those guys look 100% Chinese.
William Gray
>somebody goes on a murder spree and inadvertently changes shit by virtue of the sheer extent of his bloodlust >revered really makes you think
Jayden Nguyen
Mongol empire was vast and included many ethnicities.
>hose guys look 100% Chinese. and how the fuck do you think Turkic people look like? protip: they're not turks
Kevin Long
i hate that all the youtube comments are le finnish mongol meme
John Roberts
Turkic, not turkish dear american

Most influential religion wouldn't even be Christianity. Probably Islam or Buddhism.
Samuel Nelson
They were the only force capable of seeing through the trickery of the Jin (you can argue their deceit and cunningness where on par with the on modern day jews) and overpowering them.
Carter Reed
cont.
I'd even go as far as putting Jesus of Nazareth as THE most influential figure to ever live.
You're deluded. Neither Islam or Buddhism ever left their region of origin. Most influential culture is Western Culture. And the religion of Western Culture as well as the sole reason why it's even treated as a single culture is Christianity. And soon Christianity will not be limited to the countries of "western culture" because Christianity in various forms sees an uprising in China. Chinese soon might become the largest group of Christian people.
Easton Kelly
>even in casual conversation. You probably get a lot of blank stares
Anthony Price
daily reminder that Genghis Khan was Finnish
Xavier Sanders
Jesus was just a crazy cunt that got lucky though. He only really had an affect because of what people thought of him way after he died Genghis was unironically one of the greatest leaders ever. tips fedora
Benjamin Cooper
This poster is well-informed and reasonable. Europe never recieved any significant influence fromAsia except some goods like weapons and tissues but was sooo long ago and now forgotten.
Kayden Morris
Geghis Khan =/= Asia.
I didn't say "Asia was irrelevant" you numbnut. I'm just saying that Genghis Khan, as a figure was nowhere near as relevant as forementioned Jesus.
Eli Collins
The main reason for Europe advancing came from Asia (printing press and gunpowder)
>Most influential culture is Western Culture I would say Sintasha or Sumer myself desu.
Cooper Gomez
>I would say Sintasha or Sumer myself desu. The snowflake choice
Christopher Cruz
Prove me wrong m8. Even Greece took a lot from Egyptian culture to become advanced (and Egypt is pretty much Sumer)
Brody Cook
>printing press The printing press was invented in the Holy Roman Empire by the German Johannes Gutenberg around 1440.
Gutenberg improved the printing press with mobile metallic letters but the printing press was still around before then.
Fascinating. The Greeks really respected the Egyptians and Persians and even tried bringing them into their origin story.
Hunter Walker
>Gutenberg improved the printing press with mobile metallic letters but the printing press was still around before then. based on existing screw presses
Matthew Ward
stop posting his pics, this is annoying
Kayden Torres
Hmm you're right. It seems that China also invented the printing press but they weren't lucky enough to have it coincide with the discovery of the America's.
Adam Myers
>Middle Easterners still butthurt about the Mongols
Ryder Gomez
Where did their sudden greed and bloodlust come from though?
>do nothing for centuries except STILL being fucking nomads, in fucking nowhere, literally the filth of humanity, bronze age people were more evolved than that thousands of years ago >suddenly decide to conquer the world and be convinced you are able to do it, YOU of all people despite having almost no culture, no inventions, no real history, no ideology >it almost fucking works and only a miracle saved Europe and Japan
Are the Mongols the biggest proof for East Asian superiority? Would the Mongols, Japanese, Chinese and Koreans colonize the fucking galaxy if they united? >be born to a mother which ate grass and drank animal blood to survive >end up dining from plates of pure gold, surrounded by majestic architecture and make literally the kings of the world and millenium-old empires your bitches >be only country which defeated Russia >rape so many fucking women to forever alter the gene pool of humanity Literally the most alpha man who ever existed, and really likable because he didn't invent a fucking religion and didn't brainwash people with this bullshit, only with the power of his charisma.
Easton Long
>a peasant He was the son of a chieftain of a nomadic horse people clan. He had a political marriage secured for him. He was very impressive, but he didn't rise from the VERY bottom as you seem to claim.
Jose Lewis
>only a miracle saved Europe Literally just hills, mountains and walls.
Brandon Lee
>didn't brainwash people with this bullshit Shamans where highly regarded within the nomad tribes of yore, one shaman predicted his rise to the top of mongol society and the same shaman once the prophecy was fulfilled plotted to overthrow his rule.
Bentley Green
We always liked Egyptians apparently
Asher Stewart
Having a few shamans who tell you what the mountains want and how to harvest the forces of nature is not the same as organized religion like Islam or Christianity, which is literally cancer which doesn't fight evil, oh no, it teaches that acts which would be unthinkable for a normal human, are normal because "every is a sinner, the first human sinned too" and that you can still go into heaven for even the most barbaric acts as long as you pray for forgiveness.
How can you even compare the two?
Daniel Morgan
his ancestors got an anal creampie by my ancestors. beat it leaf
Lincoln Jones
*descendants. my bad
Luke Cook
Well, on my defense you did say religion and thus i took it as a generalization on all religious practices; Shamanism also falls in this category so it is logically correct given the previous assumption.
