Genghis Khan - The Debut of Temüjin Khan - Extra History - #3
Added 2018-03-03 05:46:08 +0000 UTCA tragic beginning, a daring escape, and a rise to power. The steppe has come to life with gossip:
Could young upstart Temujin be the one to defy custom and unite the Mongol clans under one ruler?
(Thank you for your patience as we got this episode ready for you!)

I believe we are planning to release Extra Mythology sometime this year (2018), but the truth is, as we had explained, we weren't expecting to hit our Extra Mythology goal *until* mid-2018 (we only hit it because of a very generous one-time donation from an eager patron). We've had a lot of sponsored/additional episodes on our plate lately so our production timeline is a little wonky right now for Extra Mythology. We will of course always update you lovely folks *first* on any news related to Extra Mythology. --Belinda (Community Manager)

2018-03-12 04:25:08 +0000 UTCGuys, I’m happy to be one of your patron and will keep on supporting until I’m bankrupt. However, I really have to ask this; when are you going to release Mythology episode?

2018-03-09 17:00:33 +0000 UTCThere are so many incredibly awesome historical figures you've done, and I have to say Temujin is one of the most badass!

2018-03-07 02:23:10 +0000 UTCThere is so much to treat about Genghis ! Do you plan to do it in two series, like for Justinen ? Like one series for his unification of the mongols and another one for his conquests as universal Khan ?

2018-03-06 19:48:26 +0000 UTCI didn't know about any of this. Thanks for such great stories, and all your research and production work. :)

2018-03-06 09:30:38 +0000 UTCthat makes some sense; Mongolia is mostly high-altitude grassland; so you didn't have many options to hide from lightning if you're outside.

2018-03-04 18:02:58 +0000 UTCI tried looking it up and the only other mention I can find of the Jurched anywhere is as an alternate name for the Jurchen and that would make sense as a supremely powerful people living nearby and messing with China. So they're probably the same. No idea about the Tartars, though. I can't find mention of them, but Tatar only refers to the Turco-Mongolic successors living in Russia. I guess they could be a Turkic tribe and older sources just called them all Tatars, but it's only a guess.

2018-03-04 13:35:23 +0000 UTCI don't think Jurched has anything to do with Jurchen per se, but there might be some etymological ties. Tartars and Tatars are a complicated story. Basically Tatars was one of the names the outside world called the Mongols under Genghis Khan, probably from previous knowledge of said Tartar clan. The name stuck and became what the new Turco- Mongol mix appearing in what today would be Russia was called.

2018-03-04 06:45:00 +0000 UTCYeah, given the pacing this feels like it'll be another Justinian or Bismarck situation where they only cover the first half of his life and save the second half for later.

2018-03-04 06:03:04 +0000 UTCI congratulate you for the Genghis Khan series. However I wonder if this is going to be an extended one because three episodes in and it's still about the Civil War...will you be covering the conquests in China, and the Khwarezmid Empire?
Sudarshan Ramani
2018-03-04 04:05:54 +0000 UTCThere's a Mongolian biographical movie about Temujin where they say that all Mongols fear the lightning, Tengrii's Wrath, so when Temujin and his forces don't seek shelter in the lightning, and the lightning doesn't smite them, they are empowered by Tengrii itself.

2018-03-03 23:36:22 +0000 UTCWhy did both armies think the storm was good for Temujin?

Michael Jebbett
2018-03-03 18:33:42 +0000 UTCwhat was the official name of this battle and war? I couldn't find much info.
Thomas Alfred Weaver
2018-03-03 17:14:37 +0000 UTCSo are the Jurched and the Tartars related to the Jurchen and the Tatars? Because both of those people were incredibly important, often overlooked and get to play bit parts in the stories of settled people. The Tatars would famously rule Russia for centuries, while the Jurchen would twice conquer northern China and the second time, they took the south and the west as well.

2018-03-03 13:34:06 +0000 UTCThis is a Comment I posted on the last Episode: *Late at Night, Jamukha's Camp* Sheep 1: Baaaaaaah. [something's up.} Sheep 2: Baaaaaaah? [What do you mean?] Sheep 1: Baaaaaaah. [Look.] *Temujin and Co are riding away from Jamukha's Camp* Sheep 3: Baaaaaaah. [That can't be Right.] Sheep 1: Baaaaaaah? [Should we Tell Jamukha?] Sheep 2: Baaaaaaah. [Nah, it'll be fine.] Sheep 3: Baaaaaah. [Yeah, reckon so.] *Sheep go Back to Sleep*
