Combining live-action footage shot in Mongolia with CGI software used in Lord of the Rings, the recreation of battle scenes is taken to a new level in presenting the story of how Genghis conquered an empire greater than the Roman Empire at its peak.

  • if only Genghis went to Harvard...

  • ~cont. Those you called 'Romans' were just protectorates of the Byzantine Empire, they weren't even Byzantines. The Roman Empire had already fallen to a succession of Western barbarians long before mohammad was even born. Similarly, the Persian empire was already decaying from the inside. All the islamic armies did was put the final nail on the coffin. When facing powerful nations though, such as the Mongolians, who's armies never reached more than 300,000 men, they were sorely defeated.

  • @richie8811 Lol not every leader has gone to Harvard, what's your point?

  • For all of these achievements, what remains of his legacy?

  • @Askar9992

    you are kazakh, right? On some mongolian videos kazakh people seem don't like mongolians, why?

  • @imfrmuk I think wh knows? if mongols' invasion wold haven't been there are no kazakhs now... do you understund me? actually I am from dughlat tribe - turkizied nirun mongol tribe

  • @imfrmuk because if there wasn't Genghis Khan & his mongols' invasion kazakh khanate didn't exist & obviously there weren't kazakhs now.... he killed, chased kipcak turks & settled iranic people(sarts)... so thanx to Genghis & his mongols!! (:

  • @Askar9992

    why do you support Genghis Khan?

  • @richie8811 The world will collapse upon itself and self destruct

  • @RoniCMaster "Byzantine" is a misnomer, they were very much Romans and are considered as such by most historians, and their empire was the strongest at the time. Every conquest in history is more or less against a weakened opponent, rarely has anyone conquered a superpower at the height of its civilization. The Muslims armies also eventually defeated the Mongols in Ain Jalut, led by one of their most brutal Khans and gave them a run for their money...

  • @SudanDawah Yeah, defeated a token force after the bulk of the Mongols have retreated back to the Far East to attend to leadership succession following the death of Genghis Khan. If that dude had lived for another decade, things could have been very different.

  • bbc sucks. this DOC is not good.
