Can we all take a minute and appreciate how badass the Mongols were?

[Im Still Ballin]

The Mongol Empire of the 13th and 14th centuries was the largest contiguous land empire in history. Originating in Mongolia, the Mongol Empire eventually stretched from Eastern Europe and parts of Central Europe to the Sea of Japan, extending northward into parts of the Arctic; eastward and southward into the Indian subcontinent, Mainland Southeast Asia and the Iranian Plateau; and westward as far as the Levant and the Carpathian Mountains.

The Mongol Empire emerged from the unification of several nomadic tribes in the Mongol homeland under the leadership of Genghis Khan (c.  1162–1227), whom a council proclaimed as the ruler of all Mongols in 1206. The empire grew rapidly under his rule and that of his descendants, who sent out invading armies in every direction. The vast transcontinental empire connected the East with the West, the Pacific to the Mediterranean, in an enforced Pax Mongolica, allowing the dissemination and exchange of trade, technologies, commodities and ideologies across Eurasia.

fyi, the next evolution of this series of threads is a trump supporter making an appreciation thread for nazis or the like. ISH is very predictable.

Sources say that Ghengis Khan may have shortened the average male ***** by over 2 and a half inches throughout his conquests across the globe.

Khan was a savage of savages. Dominated. Strangely, he was mentally defeated by a Romanic POPE

[Im Still Ballin]

Mongols are a bit overrated because they were major statpadders.

A lot of the land they conquered was just nomadic, Eurasian steppe plains.

Comparatively, the Romans conquered hotly contested regions such as Asia Minor.

[Gabe Ball]

The Mongols were pretty interesting, smart hunters but not the cleanest people

Mongols or Genghis Khan? It seems he's the badass and not Mongols.

I guess you can. But wouldn't people normally say how badass zion was? Especially if the other teams were quite boring.

That's incredible. They must of killed millions of non Mongol males.

sure but that isn't the thread title

While impressive not quite as impressive as the Comanches. They would torture men by having women verbally/ mentally abusing their prisoners. Highly sophisticated for the time

The Mongol Empire reached its greatest extent a few decades after the death of Gengis Kan, under Kublai Khan (who also started Yuan Dynasty in China).
