Yesterday and inner voice told me to prostrate myself before the great Kahn, pay him homage, and take him as a personal protector. I make this thread in honor of him and to pay him homage. He told me to receive holy communion at mass for his intentions and offer him the riches and treasures of the Holy Eucharist and invoke him in all struggles, battles, difficulties, and trials. It was very rewarding.
I do believe the historian estimates that Genghis Kahn wiped out 10% of the world’s population but I don’t believe all the stories of barbaric tortures because it doesn’t go against the Kahn’s character to kill people, but torture totally goes against his character and he felt he was endowed by Heaven to create peace and unity and alleviate suffering and in fact he succeeded at that.
The Mongols were illiterate savages in the eyes of the Chinese, Iranians, Russians, and Europeans, who were very humiliated to be overrun by uncivilized barbarians, and they were the ones who wrote the history about the Kahn and there’s all kinds of hogwash like a document stating the Kahn died while raping a girl. Total nonsense!
Genghis Kahn's poverty in spirit. He was a humble leader all things considered.
Genghis Kahn was actually a very humble man for how powerful he was. Unlike Roman Caesars, he refused to be worshipped or live in a Palace. Many historians say Genghis Kahn was the most wealthy man in History, conquering 40% of the planet and rather than build a palace for himself he lived his whole life in a tent like a bum dressing like a poor man, eating the meals the poor ate, suffering with the poor for he was an escaped slave whose mother was a stolen bride, his father was killed, and everything taken from him as a child. He loved the poor and as the richest man in history he gave everything back to those who were loyal to him, especially the poor. In his will he wanted to be in an unmarked grave that nobody knows the location of, for he wanted to share the lot of his men who were buried in unmarked graves rather than have a big monument in his honor.
It’s true that if you didn’t follow the same laws he followed, he would kill you, and if you turned down his offer for friendship he would kill you but he always first offered his friendship and kicked his son-in-law out of the military for looting a city that surrendered. Cities that surrendered were considered to be just as much royal first-class citizens as the Mongols they surrendered to. Yes, cities that didn't surrender were wiped out, and the Kahn thought this was the most merciful thing to do to alleviate suffering.
Genghis Kahn treated his prisoners very well if they cooperated with him, making some of them great officers. A man shot Kahn’s horse out from under him in battle and the Kahn demanded of the prisoners to give him the man who killed his beloved horse. A man stepped forward and admitted to it. The Kahn fell in love with the prisoner for his boldness, nicknamed him arrow, and arrow would become one of the top greatest field commanders in Asian and European campaigns.
The great Kahn would spend multiple days in his tent praying before military campaigns. He found who he referred to as Father Heaven and Mother earth in nature, mountain tops, in the sky, in the wind, in rivers, and lakes, and woods rather than in a church or temple and he believed God should be a mystery and couldn’t fit in a book.
Here’s the awesome and unique thing about the Kahn. He never tried to convert a single soul to his spirituality/religion and he would rather his empire was filled with religious diversity than have everyone adhering to the same faith. He consulted Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Taoists, Buddhists, Confucianists, pagans, Shamans, and other sages and wise people from other traditions, devouring everything wise they had to offer and he thought each religion was too beautiful and that the state should support them all and remove taxes from religious institutions, healthcare, charities, and religious schools. The American tax exemption was inspired by Genghis Kahn who was considered a revolutionary hero by the early colonies, the rebels, and the founding fathers of America.
Genghis Kahn was always thrilled to conquer a city that had new religious traditions, beliefs, and customs, for he wished to absorb the good that they all had to offer and repeatedly expressed his desire to see all religions work together to alleviate suffering.
He had the most religiously diverse Empires in History, had no separation between Church and state, yet there was no religious wars in his Empire or religion thought to be inferior to another. How did he do that? He simply had zero tolerance for religious bigotry and the harming of anyone based on their religious beliefs and declared all have equal right to choose their faith. Any religious bigot who persecuted someone of a different faith was put to death.
Genghis Kahn was displeased with radical muslims and jihadists so he wiped out much of the Islamic world killing 15 million people in Iran alone, but considered Islam just as acceptable a religion as any other provided they don’t harm idolators or non-muslims. The Christians could burn no heretics at the stake, have no inquisitions, have no crusades, burn no witches, and persecute no one in the Mongolian Empire.
The Mongolian Empire had more religious freedom than any other Empire up until that time and some writers say that Genghis Kahn gave us religious freedom.
Genghis Kahn was a success
Unlike Napoleon and many other conquerors, Genghis Kahn didn’t lose what he conquered or fail in his objectives but his Empire continued growing after his death and he brought 100 years of peace in an Empire of tribes and diverse religions that would otherwise have no unity and be killing eachother like they were doing prior to Genghis Kahn’s conquest. The great Kahn provided so much security to roads that it was said you could travel freely with gold on your head and no one will rob you. His Empire had very little crime.
He was responsible for the most extensive war and blitzkrieg in world history and was the greatest conqueror in History seizing 40% of the globe, wiping out 10% of the world’s population, toppling advanced civilizations that outnumbered him severely, and he conquered hundreds of millions of people in a short time, yet he only had roughly 100,000 men to accomplish this. It’s an absolute miracle that you must search the old testament to find other such miraculous victories and Old Testament warriors were commanded to commit genocide, so Kahn could have easily been an instrument of God’s wrath.
I’m not saying it’s good to kill lots of people or commit genocide, but the Bible and the Koran both seem to think God is very fond of doing that, so Genghis Kahn was indeed probably a man after God’s own heart. He didn’t follow Scriptures or Dogma, but he consulted Tengri his sky Father before every battle and before making any difficult decisions. He believed himself to be endowed by the creator with a mission to unite divided people, bring peace, bring religious freedom, and wipe out many people for the purpose of creating less suffering afterwards, and in fact he did that.
Genghis Kahn the Hero and inspiration of the early American colonies and founding fathers.
Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson devoured books about Genghis Kahn and distributed them like Bibles. Thomas Jefferson actually held the world record of his time for purchasing the most books about Genghis Kahn, many copies of which still exist in government buildings and the Library of congress. Genghis Kahn books were shipped to any Colony in need. Plays about Genghis Kahn appeared on stage from Charleston, philidalphia, New York, and beyond. The French book “Genghis Kahn the great” was a best-seller in the American colonies. There was artwork glorifying the warlord like he was a patriotic all-american revolutionary hero. Americans weren’t just rebelling against Great Britain, but wished to look somewhere else for inspiration than Europe, and Genghis Kahn was their inspiration.
In the matter of handling God and politics one leader stood above all others, Genghis Kahn. Kahn ended religious violence and bigotry and some historians say he did much to put an end to torture, and some of the stories about him raping and torturing people were written by the sore losers who couldn’t bear eating the humble pie of being overrun by “primitive savages.” It’s total nonsense. The Kahn loved people and was deeply compassionate. He killed all opposition not because he liked killing but because he thought it was the merciful approach to ending pain and keeping unity and the peace in his empire. The Mongols conquered China, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Russia, and Korea with roughly 100,000 men. America has the greatest economy, military, firepower, and far more larger military but cannot contain Iraq and Afghanistan, yet Genghis Kahn made short work of those nations and put an end to Islamic extremism in occupied countries, achieving total victory over them, Iran, and other parts of the Muslim world, without persecuting people for being Muslim.
Religious leaders were among the most self-righteous, arrogant, haughty, divisive, cruel, bigoted, and destructive forces in society before Kahn governed them. Under Genghis Kahn’s law for the first time in history the freedom of religion belonged to each individual person to choose what their heart and consccience yearned for, not to the established religion. Jeffersons law has words about not harming people over religious beliefs that are uncannily similar to the words of Genghis Kahn on the topic, taken from his favorite biography of him.
The Mongol Golden Horde united Russia which was divided into many different groups of people who had no unity, and were it not for the Golden Horde conquering Russia, the nation of Russia as we know it, the largest country on earth, might not exist. Russians in the 20th century occupied Mongolia, removed Genghis Kahn from textbooks, and even made it illegal the mention the name "Genghis Kahn" (Can you believe that?), when what Russians should be doing is thanking Genghis Kahn for how much Russia benefited from the Golden Horde.
Genghis Kahn had more rights for women than any other Empire on earth at the time and prior to that time. He also adopted orphans whose fathers were killed by the Mongols and considered them to be his family. Genghis Kahn had many wives and enourmous amounts of children and preferred Christian Mother’s for them. So many children did he have that it is estimated there are over 16 million male descendants (not including females) of the great Kahn in our world today, earning him the title “Super Daddy”. His desendants are spread out through Asia, Europe, and the middle East and beyond. You might be one of them.
Anyhow, Genghis Kahn was a sign, wonder, and miracle worker with destiny.
and a far better military strategist!
