Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World
from Primal Aspects Podcast · host Nate Smith and Matt Kinneberg
How did a young boy who was outcast from his tribe eventually rise to become one of the most powerful and visionary conquerors of all time? Is it true that Europe and much of the modern world greatly benefited from the wave of destruction brought on by the Mongol hordes? How can lessons from hunting, shamanism, and nature benefit civilized people? In this episode, we break down and review the fascinating work of Jack Weatherford to answer these questions and help listeners learn a different side of Mongol history that is not widely known. In his 2004 book titled Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, a beautiful and violent picture is painted of a people who united under a leader and changed the course of history which can still be felt today.
