That's pronounced "Jen-jis", don'tcha know...

[Citizen Tom Paine]

Genghis Khan apparently was the supreme alpha male having about 16,000,000 descendents. Raping all those women had some effect even to this very day.

[JimSEA]

Historians have long assumed the ancient Mongolian ruler was illiterate, primarily because the Mongolian written language was created in the early 13th century, when Genghis Khan would have been in his 40s and not have had time to learn, the official Xinhua news agency said.

Just as Latin was used in Europe, Chinese and Pali were used in Asia before the development of some written languages. Just an asside but the assumption that the functions of a language are not being filled in the absence of an indiginous written language are not justified in most cases.

However, the idea that Genghis Khan wrote in Mongolian is facinating and I hope for more of his work

The great Khan was the guy who broke the back of the muslim empire, a catastrophe from which it has never recovered. The muslim wackos like OBL seem to blame western European civilization. The truth is that, as Khan was edging into the middle east, he sent a party of emissaries to a muslim capitol. They slaughtered them and sent their heads back to Khan. With that Khan proceeded to butcher everyone in the city and in the ensuing years methodically went from city to city in the middle east totally destroying muslim culture and civilization. It was probably the most devastating calamity to ever happen to a major civilization, something on the order of what happened to the Incas.

Did you know I served in Vietnam? ;)

This story demonstrates the dire need for licensing and registration of all pens. And a central handwriting database.

Of course, typewriters must remain available for law enforcement officers only.

Oh Goody.

Sigh. Most historians seem to misspell the name, Ghengis. ;-)
