Genghis Khan - The Will of A Man

In the spring of 1206, a man who had been born with nothing and lost everything twice was acclaimed Khan of Khans on the banks of the Onon River. He was forty-four years old. Behind him lay a childhood of starvation and slavery, betrayal by his own blood brother, and two decades of war against every man who had ever crossed him. Ahead of him lay the largest contiguous land empire the world would ever see.He built it on a single principle — that loyalty was the only currency that mattered, and that a man's word was the measure of him.This is the story of the will of one man.⚔️ AMBIENT LECTURES — narrated articles on great men in history. 🕯️ Narrated by Tywin Lannister. 📜 CHAPTERS00:00 — Chapter I: The Boy on the Steppe07:10 — Chapter II: The Steppe11:59 — Chapter III: The Anda21:25— Chapter IV: The Yassa27:00 — Chapter V: Khwarezm39:37 — Chapter VI: The Reach41:25 — Chapter VII: The Last Campaign45:56 — Chapter VIII: The Teacher📖 SOURCES & FURTHER READINGThe Secret History of the Mongols (anonymous, c. 1227)Ata-Malik Juvayni — Tarikh-i Jahangushay (History of the World Conqueror, c. 1260)Minhaj-i-Siraj Juzjani — Tabaqat-i Nasiri (c. 1260)Jack Weatherford — Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World (2004)Frank McLynn — Genghis Khan: His Conquests, His Empire, His Legacy (2015)Paul Ratchnevsky — Genghis Khan: His Life and Legacy (1991)✍️ Ambient Lectures Studios#GenghisKhan #MongolEmpire #History #GreatMen #AmbientLectures #Temujin #Mongols #MedievalHistory #SecretHistoryOfTheMongols #Yass
