- The largest and most successful empire in history wasn't Rome: it was the Mongols. This week I interview Jack Weatherford the New York Times bestselling author of "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" about what made the Mongolian Empire so successful. . . and what is REALLY hidden in Genghis Khan's grave.

The only man alive never to get pissed on power and rightfully reward hard work and honesty. Never mind freedom of speech and religion. Greatest man to ever live
Hey hey thank you for this video i'm from mongolian decent and this video makes me so proud of it ....I LOVE IT!!!🥰🇲🇳🥰🇲🇳🥰🇲🇳🥰🇲🇳🥰
Reading this book really made me wish that the Mongols had decided to conquer all of Europe. The entire landscape of the world would have been much different. Surely, the mongol focus on science, engineering, and religious freedom would have made a better world for the rest of us.
I disagree, the Mongols would kill off all resistance. The would have ruled for a short time most likely if Ogedei have lived longer. Cultures affected by mongol conquest ended up: authoritarian, secluded and conservarive.
You’d have been killed unless you had a skill they were actively hiring for. So no, it would not have happened like that
@@ryhol5417The mongols basically only killed soldiers and the elite wealthy class. They didn’t just wantonly kill everyone unless they (The Mongols) were egregiously disrespected. I don’t think you’ve even read this book. Both of these comments reek of colonial European propaganda. The mongols were demonized, but European Christians were committing heinous atrocities across European and the Americans all throughout the Mongol’s reign, whereas, Nations ruled by the Mongols during the exact time period experienced a renaissance of science and religious tolerance. When Christians were killing anyone who was not a catholic, Mongols built Churches, Mosque, and Temples within their cities and encouraged religious freedom. The mongols helped save many of our ancient scientific advancements from the ignorant destruction of European Christians, who would kill anyone for even believing that the earth revolves around the sun
The content is very true and he knows our history better than us. So much respect for his work!
This is so great. Thank you for making this video. The Genghis Khan book was truly one of the best books I have ever read
I turn on NPR, they're talking about the Mongolian Empire. I come here and Scott is doing the same. And I realize that I NEED to know more.
Thanks for another great video. Wishing you and your channel success
Thanks for tuning in!

If you haven't had the opportunity, read the book Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. It's truly an eye opener behind the Mongol empire, and it's told without the typical European biases towards Genghis
*Edit* I should have watched this video before posting my comment. I saw the video title and it immediately reminded me of the book, which was a monumental book to read*
One of the best video I seen in a while thank you guys!
Thanks for watching!
This interview was fantastic. I learned a lot ! I love history. I wanted to know more about Genghis khan and luckily came across your channel. This was very fascinating.
There are a lot of lost history of Mongols.
A few aspects to study as Mongol influences after 1300 hundreds include:
- Potential financing of the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire (related with Golden Horde, Blue and Green Horde history)
- Mongol civil war essentially led European to find sea route to China because Ottomans blocked the Constantinople and Golden Horde had its internal struggles, which blocked the trade from Europe
--- Indirect influence on the establishment of the British Empire and discovery of the Americas
--- Spanish & Portuguese trade with Japan through Atlantic and then Pacific
--- Spanish & Portuguese of Americas
- Considerable portion of Cossacks in Napoleonic war which destroyed the Grande Arme was Kalmyks who originated from South West Mongolia
- You already mentioned the Moghul Empire (Persian pronunciation for Mongol)
- Establishment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty
- Boxer War
- Opium Wars
- John Adams sold many copies of Mongol History book (in French from France) to Americans including the founding fathers including Thomas Jefferson | Thomas Jefferson's copy of the book is still in the Library of Confress | some aspects and wording of the Declaration of Independence sounds similar to pieces found from Yasa, Secret History of Mongols or written accounts by Persians or Chinese sources

Thank you for this amazing interview. It was much pleasure knowing Pf. Wheatherford's some academic studies 🥰. We have one tengri or sky. May the world have peace and prosperity always 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
Something that has been wiped from our history is the Empire of the Tatarian's, who ruled globally. Evidence of their architecture is in all major Western cities like Washington, Ottawa, London etc. Where we have some unique Greco architecture not found elsewhere in government buildings.
This empire was apparently brought down in the early 1800's.
Isint that a conspiracy theory?
@@lunawolfheart336 there was actually a tribe named Tatar the Mongols fought against. But it was just a tribe not country or empire.
Also just found your channel, all your stuff is incredible!! Glad I found it!
Welcome aboard!
This content deserves more views. 💯♥️
Great stuff
Thanks
Its Chinggis. How do you expect anybody to take what you say seriously when you can't say his name correctly
Language exists so that people can understand one another. Not so that people can police pronunciation to show the world how much better they are than other people.
@@sgcarney pronunciation police you're the fool doing research and still spelling names wrong 😂 after that comment yeah i do think im better then you
Dope ass book. Genghis ancestors where born of a virgin.
But if there was any empire I could live in history it would be the Mongol empire or the göktürk khagnante
Scott knows little.about Mongols
You can't find his grave bc he was called into heaven by God himself and he will return on the day of judgement. 😅
His takes on the Mongols conveniently ignores all the millions who were massacred and how the Mongols themselves bragged about it and seemed to relish in it. Can be seen in the secret history of the Mongols, which is written by the sons of chingis. Weatherford ignores these key facts about the brutality of the steppe and how it translate into their interactions with sedentary society. Even in this video weatherford ignores the holocaust the Islamic world went through under the chingisids. His dismissal of the sack of Baghdad and the hundred of ther cities, would be like writing an autobiography about how hitler helped create modern Europe and why all the deaths in 19th century were worth it for what we have today. Ridiculous how weatherford ignores how the Mongols would kill entire cities, not just the elite like he claimed, urgench balk Nineveh Baghdad ect had EVERY LIVING THING KILLED in the cities , this is attested in both Mongol,Muslim and Chinese sources. like saying hitler created new buisness opportunities in Europe after ww2. The Mongols were an incredible people but were also incredibly violent and to ignore this is like saying look at the good that happened in Europe after ww2 bc of the nazi. Ridiculous apologic statements by weatherford if you have ever studied the Mongols in an academic setting.
Well, Weatherford is an academic with an appointment at Macalaster, so he certainly studied it in an academic setting. He doesn't shy away from talking about Mongol massacres in his books, but he does try to contextualize them. I do understand your perspective though.
Only gripe I have with him is his dismissal of the insane amount of people the were killed under Mongols. From what I’ve read from studies done on glacier carbon levels from human cooking fires along with primary sources from the time. Estimates of how many people were killed in the JUST in great khans lifetime alone ranges from 30-70 million…just think it’s ridiculous to dismiss the death of 10s of millions. The great khan is still the goat tho make no mistake
@@sgcarneyI agree, loved reading his books just hard to wrap my head around the good when It comes at cost of millions of people killed
@@otis8983 I am personally skeptical about the number of massacred ppl, could you please share your source? I have been reading Julia Pongratz's research a little, and it seems she hasn't connected the deaths to the findings. So I am intrigued to know who managed to connect the deaths with the research with certainty. Thanks!
