Genghis the Getbigger
« on: October 15, 2020, 11:29:10 AM »
"For 30 years, Genghis Khan and his Mongolian horde swept through Asia, slaughtering over one-tenth of the people on Earth and conquering nearly one-quarter of the land. His was the most violent reign in all of human history.

Most people know Genghis Khan through the statistics, but the details are just as mind-boggling. Some stories from his life and his battles are outright unbelievable—and among the most brutal stories you will ever hear."

I always wonder how they knew they had conquered a country, they can only see a few miles either way, how do they know they have not missed an army 30 miles away???

Its the same stupid shit on game of thrones when they leave one place in tiny fucking boat where its snowing and rock up on a Caribbean beach in a couple of fucking days.

I don't think they really knew.  The armies were like living things, constantly on the search for food to sustain them.

The food was anyone they found in their way.

No doubt they traveled on established trade routes where larger cities were located.

Agreed.
