CHINGGIS KHAAN
Golden
line: Chinggis Khaan was born in 1162 in what is now
Khentii aimag, at the age of 44 he established Mongol Empire. He died in 1229 at the age of 67. The
descendants of Chinggis Khaan’s 4
queens who had right to involve in state affairs are considered as “Golden
line”. They ruled Mongol Empire until 1634.
In
his lifetime Chinggis Khaan led 4 major wars and over 50 small battles. He
formed an cavalary army consisting of 200 000 soldeirs, kept
400 000 – 800 000 horses with them. Thus the power of the Mongol
army was in the horses and historians consider that Chinggis Khaan
promoted the power of horse in war times.
First
Asian Basic law: The “Ih zasag” created by Chinggis Khaan was Mongolian
basic law at that time and it is also considered as the first basic law of
Central asia. Chinggis Khaan had a deep concern about how to rule countries that were
once caputred as well how to preserve their cultural heritage.
The
“Washington news” acclaimed Chinggis Khaan to be the “MAN OF THE SECOND
MILLENIUM” and the world recognises him not as an ordinary knight or an
army general but as an outstanding leader. Although Chinggis Khaan reached
astonishing successes in his lifetime, he never had his portrait
painted, monument built and glory
printed coins. He never fancied books, poems, songs about him, he never
named palaces, nor monasteries after him. When he died he was burried in
the soil of his motherland, no chapel, monastery, pyramid or even a
headstone was built as he wished. So the Khaan died in the vast Mongolian steppe in
which he once grew.
