Turkish-Mongol Emperor: Genghis Khan (2)

Genghis Khan died at the age of about 70, in his bed at the campsite, with his beloved family, loyal friends, and loyal soldiers ready to give their lives when he commanded.

 

Genghis Khan Law:

 

Genghis Khan insisted on equal rule of law and laws in his empire, which he created by uniting many countries and dozens of societies.

He forbade torture.

He mobilized for the discovery and murder of oppressive thugs and terrorist assassins. He refused to take hostages.

Instead, he was the first in history to introduce the practice of granting diplomatic immunity to all ambassadors and delegates, including those in countries where it is at war. Genghis Khan had left his empire on a very solid foundation, the empire continued to grow for 150 years. His descendants continued to rule in cooperation vast territories, from Russia to parts of Anatolia, Central Asia, the Balkans, India, China, and Iran.

Mongol leaders received different titles such as Khan, Emperor, Sultan, King, Shah, Emir and Dalai Lama.

Some Mongols ruled in India until 1857, when the British expelled Emperor Bahadur Shah II and beheaded his two sons and grandsons. The last grandson ofGenghis Khan,  the Emir of Bukhara, Alim Khan, remained in power in Uzbekistan until he was deposed in 1920 under the influence of the Soviet revolution. History has condemned many of the conquerors to painful and untimely deaths...

Death of Genghis Khan:

Alexander the Great died at the age of thirty-three, under mysterious circumstances in Babylon, while his followers were killing his family and sharing his land.

Julé Caesar, his aristocratic friends and former allies, had stabbed him to death in the hall of the Roman Senate.

Napoleon died as a prisoner in exile on a small island, alone, defeated and disgusted with life. Genghis Khan died at the age of about 70, in his bed at the campsite, with his beloved family, loyal friends, and loyal soldiers ready to give their lives when he commanded. He ascended to heaven. The place where he died was not a magnificent palace. It was a tent called ger, similar to the tent where he was born. However, when  this steppe wolf, who had nothing when he was born, died, he had a country of gigantic size, the highest level of power and wealth.

He never left the traditional life of his people. While preserving the way of life of his people, he also changed humanity.

Genghis Khan's soldiers brought their kagan's body back to Mongolia for secret burial. They buried him in a secret place of his homeland in 1227. According to Mongolian belief, the soul of the dead should be left in peace. In order not to learn the location of his grave, the first group of soldiers who knew the place were killed. Then another group of those who killed them were killed. Thus, no one saw the location of the tomb.

After the secret funeral, the soldiers sealed off the entire area of several hundred square kilometers. They forbade them to go inside. No one, except specially trained warriors, has been able to enter this field for centuries.

This area, called the Great Taboo, remained closed for 800 years. The Mongols did not let any foreigners into this sacred place belonging to  their ancestors.

Result:

 In order not to disturb the holy spirit of Genghis Khan, they declared this region a top secret region. Because  Genghis Khan's armies moved so fast, they crossed many rivers and streams. They built a lot of bridges over these rivers. GenghisKhan simply did not want to conquer countries aimlessly. He also wanted a global order based on free trade, a single internationallaw, and a universal alphabet in which all languages could be written. Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan, proposed printing paper money that could be used everywhere. In China, where he ruled, he took the initiative to create universal schools for all children to make everyone literate. The Mongols combined calendars by developing them to create a calendar that was more accurate than the previous ones and was ten thousand years old. They built advanced large maps.
