He is still a national hero in Mongolia
I think their are a few more pros to Genghis Khan than just looking cool.
I know what the point is but i could not help myself laughing because you can understand the meme as him singlehandly killing and raping 40 million people.
Busy man, that’s like 2500 people per day. Did he get union breaks? The chafing must have been horrible.
him personally?

His ‘cool robes’ were probably just 40 million layers of red flags.
He was the first environmental activist who caused reduction of global warming.
He also generally spared those who submitted of their own free will: submit to the khan and return to your lives, or resist and find out why he’s called “The Scourge of God”
The Man was the reverse equivalent of Becca Blue
He must have had great time management.
Heaps of skulls. Wrecked civilisations.
Yes. If the war crimes you committed happened centuries ago, people tend not to care. Ceaser committed what was a clear genocide against the Gauls. Yet, the genocide is listed among his achievements. The difference between a genocide today and a genocide back then is simply time.
Its still weird that even with this information, Mongolia is pretty much inhabitated in terms of amount of people and country size.
Medieval warlord fighting medieval wars with medieval tactics?!? I’m totally outraged.
To kill and rape 40 millions people he should kill and rape someone every minute since his born and until his death without any rest.
40 000 000 / (70 years * 365 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes) = 1.09 (kill or rape) / minute
He was great person anyway but I doubt he really did this.
Who knew after 40 million kill you get [Golden statue](https://www.parliament.mn/en/nn/74208/).
Lmao, nah
He did not kill 40 million people. Let’s be clear about the facts. These are numbers attributed to Mongol conquests from 1206-1368, the dude died in 1227, a lot of those casualties are from his descendants wars. It’d be like pinning casualties from ww1, ww2 on Bismarck, dude was dead for most of it.
Secondly, these numbers are mostly calculated using chinese tax documents which are notoriously unreliable because accurate taxation records need stable governance and wartime definitely is not stable governance. As an example, China recorded 52 million people on tax documents in 755, but after the An Lushan rebellion, it recorded 17 million people in 764. Does anyone seriously believe China somehow lost 75% of its population inside 9 years of civil war? And after which the Tang dynasty still somehow continued existing till 907?
“Ghengis . . . Khan? Was he of the Sardaukar, m’Lord?”
“Oh, long before that. He killed . . . perhaps four million.”
“He must’ve had formidable weaponry to kill that many, Sire. Lasbeams, perhaps, or . . .”
“He didn’t kill them himself, Stil. He killed the way I kill, by sending out his legions. There’s another emperor I want you to note in passing—a Hitler. He killed more than six million. Pretty good for those days.”
“Killed . . . by his legions?” Stilgar asked.
“Yes.”
“Not very impressive statistics, m’Lord.”

I hate when people put two things in the same sentence like that…
I somehow seriously doubt he raped 40 million people.
Shopkeeper: “He brought peace to Eurasia”
Homer: “That’s good”
Shopkeeper: “Which allowed the bubonic plague to spread to Europe”
Homer: “That’s bad”
Shopkeeper: “Which killed so many people that wages and the standard of living rose for the survivors”
Homer: “That’s good”
Shopkeeper: “With the advent of genealogical DNA testing, a larger and broader circle of people have begun to claim genetic descent from Genghis Khan owing to dubious and imprecise haplogroup identifications. However, while many of Genghis Khan’s agnates’ resting places are known (e.g. Shah Jahan in the Taj Mahal), none of their remains have been tested to prove or disprove these theories and debate continues”
Homer: “…”

Ponies, they rode War Ponies into battle not majestic Arabian High Horses. 🐎
His army is also directly responsible for a very temporary ververse of climate change. They killed so many people that huge swathes of forests regrew in the now empty settled areas and absorbed enough co2 to collect the planet by a 1c for about ten years.
In that particular order?
Well, what were they wearing?
He was an early environmental activist and hugely cut back humanity’s environmental impact long before it was cool, such a hipster.
Well, has Mongolia apologized for him and demilitarized itself yet? /s
Well, if we are being objective, him doing all that raping is very impressive. He was almost an industrial rape machine. Rape is bad but that is high performance.
He was also the most progressive ruler and most modern statesman of the medieval period promoting religious cultural and racial tolerance. Throughout his empire and setting up a logistics network that won’t be beaten until the modern day
Want to know how insane that is? The deaths caused by his conquests were so numerous IT HAD AN IMPACT ON THE CARBON OUTPUT IN THE ATMOSPHERE. He genuinely lowered the carbon impact of humanity with the amount of people he killed. Hell, you could also add the black plagues numbers to his kill count as the reason the plague spread to Europe was because he would take plague-infected rats and launch them over the walls of cities he would conquer for what was essentially a medieval form of chemical warfare, and these rats and individuals would obviously travel west to escape him or traders would unknowingly become infected and move along trade routes to Europe and then the plague spread from there. To sum it up: genghis khan caused the death of so many people he lowered the collective carbon footprint of humanity and dismantled feudalism as a result of his conquests. Wanna know the craziest part? In modern day Mongolia, his statue is 40 meters (or about 120 ft, give or take) tall. That’s about 20-24 people tall. To give a different comparison: the average type c school bus is about 40 ft in length (or about 13-14 meters, give or take), meaning his statue is the equivalent of three school busses stacked end-to-end. This man has a kill count comparable to the failures of the great leap forward and Mongolia was like “fuck yeah, lets make him a statue comparable to the statue of liberty in height!”
My meat would be falling off at that point
Genshin Khan is the evil bonnie blue
