The Myth of Genghis Khan
- 6 years ago
The Secret History of the Mongols by Baavuday Tsend Gun is History's greatest con job. It is a total work of fiction passed off as fact by dishonest historian. The Secret history of the Mongols describes Genghis Khan's life or Temujin as he sometimes known in great detail yet this book was published in 1908. The sources Baavuday Tsend Gun cites in his book do not corroborate his story, in fact the sources he used do not seem to exist at all. It is claimed that the secret history of the mongols was rediscovered as an addendum inside another mysterious book called the "The secret history of the Yuan dynasty" however not a single copy of this book can be found.
How can a book written in 1908 accurately describe events in the 1200s without sources to earlier writings? There are NO other books on Genghis Khan's life written before the 1908 publishing of "The Secret history of the Mongols." Temujin or Genghis Khan is hardly mentioned in earlier Chinese manuscripts. Nothing is known of Temujin's early life outside of that one book published in 1908.
The following facts must all be brought into consideration:
- Genghis Khan isn't even a proper name it just means "Great Khan" (Great King)
- There is not a single period coin depicting the name Genghis Khan or Temujin.
- The coinage used in the Mongol empire referred to plural "Khans." http://i.imgur.com/vMtuntB.jpg
- There are no statues of Genghis Khan older than 200 years
- There are no direct written accounts by Genghis Khan or his generals
- Genghis Khan constructed no military fortifications and founded no cities
- There are no trade pacts or treaties with Genghis Khan
- No contemporary leader ever references a Genghis Khan
- There are no period maps of Genghis Khan's conquests. (only modern graphical approximations exist)
- Genghis Khan has no real tomb. Only monuments that were constructed centuries later exist.
- Mongolia in 1200s had a tiny population and few resources. Great armies numbering in the millions were not possible. The grasslands of Mongolia could not support that many people.
- The battlements on the Great wall of China face the wrong direction. Rather than pointing North they face South.
- When Marco Polo visited the court of Kublai Khan he was described as a white man living in a Western styled palace. It's ruin can be seen here https://i.imgur.com/PSLvdw4.jpg This building was destroyed by Westerners in the second opium war.
Weighing the factual evidence the only logical conclusion is that Genghis Khan is a historical fiction. There is no historical evidence that proves Genghis Khan ever existed.
