A 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!)

Genghis Khan - The Debut of Temüjin Khan - Extra History - #3

Jamukha and Temüjin were officially fighting for control of the Mongolian steppes, appointing themselves the titles of "khan." But each man practiced wildly different strategies to gain prestige--Jamukha showed no mercy, but Temüjin took a more egalitarian route.

This 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*

So 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.

Why did both armies think the storm was good for Temujin?

There'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.

I 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?

Yeah, 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.

I 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.

I didn't know about any of this. Thanks for such great stories, and all your research and production work. :)

can you do the renaissance?

There 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 ?

Calvin Han

There are so many incredibly awesome historical figures you've done, and I have to say Temujin is one of the most badass!

Guys, 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?

ExtraCredits

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)
