We have all heard the tales of the (in)famous Genghis Khan. A warrior. A leader. An emperor of one of the biggest empires – the Mongols. In history, there is no one who else has been as feared and respected simultaneously. No one who was as controversial or rather, misunderstood.

Genghis Khan conquered vast lands stretching from the Pacific Ocean to Eastern Europe, from Siberia to the Persian Gulf thereby changing the course of history. He was the beginning to where we are now. By creating his empire, he shrank the world as did Christopher Columbus after him.

Despite the greatness of Genghis Khan, he embodied the nomadic way of life of the Mongolians. This is what makes him Man of the Millennium and he was a Mongolian. Only by visiting the country will you truly learn of his dynasty and our history.
