Neat, it's funny how Ghengis Khan came to be is probably more interesting than what he did as a conqueror.

Will this be a Two-Parter like Justinian and Bismarck or a One-Parter?

Sorry, this is just morbid curiosity, but that thing you showed at the end, about Jamukha's execution, how did that back breaking thing work?

It's partly a matter of perspective. I'm sure there are ways to tell his life story that would make it seem quite boring. I'm really glad that Jac, our writer for this series, decided to share the story of Temujin's mother Hoelun in the first episode, it really set the narrative focus on interpersonal drama for the rest of the series --Belinda

Here is a scene from the BBC documentary about Genghis Khan that demonstrates the "back breaking thing" (warning: not bloody, but it is violent): <a href="https://youtu.be/XAFnxV2GYRU?t=33m46s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/XAFnxV2GYRU?t=33m46s</a>

Thank you, that makes sense now. Also, OH MY GOD, OW! When I was trying to find it, I saw something about how it was meant to avoiding spilling blood. Is that true?

ExtraCredits

Yes, the definition of a "respectful" or "noble" death in Mongolian culture at that time was one that excluded blood, so that was the intent behind the back-breaking.
