CENGIZ HAN
CENGIZ HAN
In 1162, a child was born on the bank of the river Onon. When he was born, there was blood in his palm. The shaman of the tribe said that this was a sign and that this boy would be a great ruler. His father named him Temuchin, which means iron man.
When Temuchin was only 10 years old, his father was killed and Temuchin was deported to the steppe with his family. They tried to survive by escaping and hiding in the Mongolian steppe.
Temuchin started killing with his brother who didn’t want to share a deer they hunted. In the future he was going to kill 40 million people (11% of the world’s population).
Temuchin married when he was 16, but his wife was kidnapped by another tribe. Temuchin, who could not protect his wife and escaped, said: “It would be a foolish to go to a war I couldn’t win”
Temuchin, who was later captured in China in another war, was exhibited in a cage for 2 years.
When he was extradited in the cage, a buddhist monk helped Temuchin escape and in return he would never touch the buddhist temple which is called Yutan. And it is happened so, this man who burned and destroyed the World, never forgot the promise he gave buddhist monk.
After getting rid of Chinese captivity, he gathered all the tribes in Central Asia under one roof and the council named was him as Cengizhan which means strong ruler.

He first attacked China and destroyed China by taking over all of China in 9 years. Then he turned to the west and established a big empire. Of course, his goal was to take over the whole World. And captured 22% of the known World.
However so much blood was shed. Muslim and Christians believed that he was the antichrist. In Bukhara, which is the most largest and most developed Muslim city of the time period, he buried 1 million people alive in the ground. Later, he dispatched the plague epidemic (Black death) in China Wuhan to Europe via Crimea and he used first biological weapon in history by this he killed 1/3 of the European population and occupied Europe by weakening them.
If he not met resistance in the cities he went, he would never touch places of worship religious. But if someone invite him to Islam or Christianity, he would consider it to himself disrespectful and kill this people because the only religion for him was the belief of Shamanism religion Tengri faith. If any Mongolian leave Tengri faith he was killing them.
He even caring about and respecting Shaman priests so much. Even when Cengizhan was looking for the secret of immortality a Shaman priest tell him that the more woman he sleeps with, the longer his life will be. Cengizhan; then slept of dozens women in every city he went and had dozens of children. According to the DNA researches; today, more than 25 million people are thought comes from his lineage.
Although centuries passed his tomb’s place still can not be found, because who buried Cengizhan were all been killed by his testament. Presumably a riverbed is though to have been changed and buried beneath it.
From a very young age he learned to fight life, nature and people. If people weren’t doing evil to him, maybe he wouldn’t be a bad guy, maybe he chose to be bad because he was persecuted, he killed people when he even die but he became a legend.
Yes he couldn’t find the secret of eternal life but he wrote his name on eternity.
