Horses are great swimmers, the Mongol armies could have just dismounted and paddled a bit.

I think Genghis Khan would have enjoyed the cheeseburger. Portable, savoury, and made from grazing animals. At least I certainly hope so, since he’s approaching my crashed time machine and I have no other plan

I want my professor to know that whenever he mentions the Mongols, this Crash Course bit goes through my head:

Also he mentioned how the Crusaders were all failures (for the Franks) and Bill Wurtz went though my head:

"They did many crusades, some of which almost didn't fail."

"NO ARMY HAS EVER PROVOKED SUCH JUSTIFIABLE TERROR AND LOATHING IN ITS VICTIMS..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on illustrations of the Mongol Army and the warrior culture that encapsulated the very nature of their empire, from the book "The Mongols" (1980), written by George Turnbull and illustrated by Angus McBride. Part of Osprey Publishing's "Men-At-Arms" Series, 105.

DESCRIPTION: "The history of the Mongol armies is a catalogue of superlatives. No armies in history have ever won so many battles or conquered so much territory. No army has ever provoked such justifiable terror and loathing in its victims, or slaughtered so many of its vanquished.

What other army in history has marched on Russia in the winter and survived, let alone won victories? The stories of these and many other amazing feats of this "barbarian" people are here brought vividly to life by Stephen Turnbull, from the birth of Genghis Khan in the wind-swept steppes of Mongolia, through the conquest of China and beyond."
