Chinggis Khan - the ancestor of millions?
The idea that Chinggis Khan was the ancestor of millions has been seen to be nothing more than a pop culture myth by modern Mongolists.
In the original study, the team discovered that Mongolian populations had an abundance in a gene variant, they estimated this to be around 16 million. Through unreliable methods, they came to the conclusion that this gene variant arose in the 1000s. In order to explain this rapid growth, they attributed this to the rise of Chinggis Khan. They also assumed so because those in power/the upper classes were usually more shielded from violence and polygamy was common on the steppes.
Here's the problem. The genetics samples they used were random and were from different populations. They could not distinguish between noble blood and common blood.
In addition, they made the claim that the Hazara of Afghanistan had an oral tradition of labelling themselves direct descants of Chinggis Khan. Yes, while they do have their origins with the Mongols, it definitely wasn't just one guy, it was Mongol soldiers.
Also, they claimed that Chinggis himself was a descendant of this variant, and he is the reason why it spread more because he was a love machine, apparently (I'm not denying he had concubines but come on). The problem is, the dates they provide are questionable at best. This is because exhumed graves that date back as far as 500 BCE also have this gene variant. If I recall correctly, descendants of Chinggisid royalty lack this gene variant entirely??? This gene variant is commonly found in those who's ancestors were commoners.
In other words, the spread of this gene was most likely from the Mongol army than Chinggis Khan himself!
In addition, this gene must have spread slowly through the common people of the Proto-Mongols, Mongolic people and Turkic/Central Asian population (mixing). This gene was most likely spread by earlier empires, like the Xiongnu, Gokturks etc way before Chinggis was around.
The study is here: (one saying that the gene variant is not from Chinggis himself)
JackMeister wrote an excellent video on this for the YouTube channel Kings and generals! !

Again, this is me trying to simplify what I've heard and read, sorry if its wrong 😔🐴🏹

The Atlas Empire
Why, When, What:  The Atlas Foundation was properly formed by a Dragon who once advised Genghis Khan, and now seeks to do the same with his descendants.  He chose the name after being tricked by a Genie he fought in the Atlas Mountains which left him trapped for 500 years, but granted him enhanced mystical powers and a vast library of lost knowledge.  Every so often, he has to seek a replacement heir for the Foundation from the many descendants of Khan (literally, about 0.5% of the world's population - 16 Million People) and uses the current ruler to find the next.  The Rulers change, but the Dragon remains constant.  He is not a duplicitous advisory, but molds himself to fit the needs of each new heir.   He just takes a very long view of things.
The Foundation Itself is sustained through many front organizations all under the "Atlas" logo.  This ranges from Atlas Farms to Atlas Semiconductors.  Some of these are fronts for superweapon development, while others are legitimate business enterprises.  Examples include, but are not limited to:
Atlas Nursery: Which raised Triffids
Atlas Mortuary: which was building a Zombie Army.
Atlas Bio-Tech: This was expanding on In-Gen's research to re-create extinct fauna from their modern descendants.
Atlas Orphanage: This was raising a new generation of Psychic hive-mind children for world domination, in the vein of the Midwitch Incident colloquially known as the "Village of the Damned". 
Atlas Records: About what you'd expect - mind control via pop music. 
Atlas Vineyards: Truth Serum Wine. Actually, rather tasty.
Atlas Munitions: Weapons Development.
Atlas Farms: Actually, wasn't a front and was just a regular Dairy farm. 
Atlas Comics: Seems legit, but operative Ken Hale insists it’s a front.  In his words: "They only had superhero books, and all those had crossover stories, so you had to buy the whole line to get one story! Gotta be a racket."
Atlas Novelties: You ever wonder where costumed criminals get a lot of their gag-themed weaponry?  Not all of them have the knack for inventing it themselves.  Between this operation, and foreign powers funding effectively "Domestic Terrorists", it explains a lot of weirdness.
Atlas Academy of Martial Arts: Was training the finest in evil henchmen available outside the league of assassins.
Atlas Famous Cookies: Super Addictive cookies.
Atlas Auto: Auto Parts chop-Shops and weapons smugglers.
Atlas Mining: Guess where all those mind-controlled by Atlas Records go?  Yup, mine workers.
The new heads of the Foundation under Jimmy Woo shut down most of these operations or converted them to more non-lethal or terrorist fighting purposes. It's not as easy as it sounds.
They as signatories of the Unseelie Accords.
Clout: Criminal (4), Financial (5), Governmental (5), Supernatural (4) (36) Quarters: Huge (5), Multiple Locations (10), Physical Security (4), Supernatural Security (2) Gear: Computers (5), Lab/Research (5), Medical Facilities (5), Workshop (5), Occult Archives (5), Training Facilities (3), Vehicles (Military/Exotic) (5), Weapons (Full Metal Jacket, Getting Medieval) (6) (11) Cost: 47 Points (60-18 from Clout)

He thinks Kublai Khan tasted the best.

Jimmy Woo a.k.a. Woo Yen Jet, Emperor of the Atlas Empire Date of Birth: 1930 Motivation: Do Good, even if it’s with Evil Critter Type: Human Attributes: Str 4, Dex 4, Con 4, Int 4, Per 4, Will 4 Ability Scores: Muscle 14, Combat 16, Brains 16 Life Points: 57 Drama Points: 10 Special Abilities: Ex-FBI Agent, Daredevil, Attractiveness +3, Love (Tragic), Hard to Kill 5, Contact (Supernatural 3/5, Governmental 3/ 4, Criminal 3/4), Status (Heir/Master of the Atlas Empire), Resources (Middle Class/Rich), Honorable (Serious), Mild Cruelty, Tradition-Bound, Anachronistic (1950's mentality) Name - Score - Damage – Notes Pistol – 16 – 16 – Bullet Punch – 16 – 12 – Bash Kick – 15 – 14 – Bash Agent Jimmy Woo has had a long career in the services of UNIT.  He's fought many bizarre adversaries.  He worked under Nick Fury during his prime spy days and as he became the top agent within UNIT.  Jimmy ran operations against Giant Monsters like Gorgo, and in one of his oddest cases, formed a super hero team in the 1950s.  It was more a special agent task force than super hero team and only operated for about half a year, but it was the first one seen since McCarthy's trials ran most underground or forced them to disband.  That it was under Hoover's FBI (even though Hoover hated it and used any excuse to take it down--and did so successfully) made it easier to swallow.  That it operated in secret made it more so. 
Afterwards, he was relegated to largely desk work from the 1970s through the new millennium, eventually reaching the rank of Sub-Director when he got a whiff of his oldest enemy, the Yellow Claw, being back in operation.  He assembled a team in secret and went to tackle it solo. 
And nearly died along with the rest of his team, left comatose without higher brain function and badly burned by the attempt.  That's when the wheels began to turn and Jimmy was restored to health as if he had physically and mentally been plucked from 1958.  Made the case difficult to break down for certain, but he managed to piece it together with the help of his old team.  He discovered that he was the heir to the Atlas Empire, and chose to run it rather than let it splinter like a hydra.  As the new Khan, "Woo Yen Jet" reigns as the fair-handed leader of a once evil organization with occult powers and a benign public face. 
Sounds vaguely familiar…

Ken Hale a.k.a. Gorilla Man Date of Birth: 1914 Motivation: Action and Adventure Critter Type: Cursed Human Attributes: Str 9, Dex 4, Con 6, Int 3, Per 5, Will 4 Ability Scores: Muscle 24, Combat 18, Brains 12 Life Points: 100 Drama Points: 10 Special Abilities: Curse of the “Gorilla” Man, Ambidextrous, Honorable (Minimal), Age 1, Occultism +2, Acute Senses (Smell), Enhanced Senses, +4 Survival, Hard to Kill 10, Adversary (Several)
Name - Score - Damage - Notes Punch – 18 – 24 – Bash Big Ass Pistol – 18 – 24 - Bullet Assault Rifle – 18 – 21 – Bullet, Rapid Fire Hand Held Machine Gun – 18 – 17 – Bullet, rapid fire
Ken Hale was a big game hunter in the 1950s who wrestled a Gorilla-monster bare handed and killed it.  He then inherited the "Gorilla-Man" curse from the poor sod he killed.  He fought it for a chance at immortality, and he got it.  As a Gorilla. 
It's been 50+ years since then and he adjusted quite well to it.  Being roped into Jimmy Woo's team of "G-Men" helped break him out of his funk, and operating with unit since the 1960s as a field agent has let him travel around the world and continue to enjoy people freaking out on seeing a talking Gorilla who can quad-wield automatic weaponry if you pick him up.  When Jimmy went after the Yellow Claw again, he jumped at the chance.  He was the first person to make him feel human since the curse was brought upon him. 
Oh, and if you do manage to kill Ken, you'll turn into the next Gorilla Man.  People try every now and again, but he either talks them out of it by warning them of the truth in the curse, or he gets a new trophy for his collection.  He IS still a hunter after all.

Tumblr media
Aquaria Nautica Neptunia a.k.a. Namora Date of Birth: 1914 Motivation: Protect Undersea Kingdoms. Worship Dagon and Cthulhu. Critter Type: Deep One Attributes: Str 10/14, Dex 10, Con 10, Int 4, Per 5, Will 5 Ability Scores: Muscle 26/34, Combat 20, Brains 18, Life Points: 110/136 Drama Points: 10 Special Abilities: Resources/Status (Atlantean Royalty, Sovereign of the Deep Ones), Telepathy 5 (Deep Ones and Cetaceans are the only ones worthy of contact), Vril Belt, Armor Value 5, Natural Toughness, Hard to Kill 10, Lecherous (-1), Adversary (Various), Supernatural Form (Definitely not Human), Charisma +5, Acute Senses (Touch), Combat Visions, Regeneration (Con per Hour), Honorable (Minimal), Contacts (Supernatural 5 – The Atlas Foundation) Name - Score - Damage - Notes Punch – 20 – 25/33 – Bash Kick – 19 – 27/35 – Bash Grapple – 22 – None – Impairments vary Break Neck – 22/30 – 46/64 – Survival Test needed
Namora is the cousin of Namor, the Submarriner, and king of the Deep Ones.  She is a powerful warrior in her own right and along with her cousin, lead the Deep Ones against the Axis powers during the war.  Afterwards, she kept mostly to herself, occasionally joining up with other adventurers like Nick Fury to hunt Nazis, but otherwise keeping to the regular business of being a Deep One. 
She and her cousin raise an interesting question to the point of all of the Deep Ones being horrific monsters, worshiping Dagon and Cthulhu, waiting for humanity to die off and so on.  They are honorable and reasonable people--though extremely passionate and known for fits of terrifying violence.  Another interpretation of Deep One behavior can be likened to less jerky Elves.  They have all the positive traits normally associated with the Elven races (advanced art and sciences, more in tune with the natural world and how it works and have an isolationist streak), but see the benefits of interacting with and interbreeding with humans.  Namora herself is half human.  Namora herself was slain by a political rival in the early 1970s, but revived by the actions of Jimmy Woo's Yithian associates in 2005.

Namorita Date of Birth: 1958 Motivation: Protect Undersea Kingdoms. Worship Dagon and Cthulhu.

Name - Score - Damage - Notes Punch – 18 – 25 – Bash Kick – 17 – 27 – Bash Grapple – 20 – None – Impairments vary Break Neck – 20 – 46 – Survival Test needed
Namorita is Namora's daughter, a kind girl who idolized her uncle and mother for their wartime heroics on the surface and trained herself to be like them in that regard.  When she reached her mature age, she went to the surface to try her hand at adventuring.  Things were not as easy as they were in Namor's time, she did some solo work and teamed up with other heroic individuals to fight the more nebulous menaces of the wars on drugs and terror.  She even found herself roped into a reality TV about "Superheroes" for a half-season before it folded. After that, she finally got to reunite with her mother after over 30 years.

Venus Date of Birth: Lost to Time Motivation: Spread Love and Joy Critter Type: Siren/Demigod Attributes: Str 8, Dex 8, Con 10, Int 3, Per 4, Will 7 Ability Scores: Muscle 22, Combat 16, Brains 16, Life Points: 400 Drama Points: 10 Special Abilities: Young God, Increased Life Points +30, Hard to Kill 10, Mild Obsession (Spreading Love and Peace), Attractiveness +5, Supernatural Form (Unearthly Air: Mesmerize (Meet My Gaze), +5 Attractiveness, Dual Form), Mesmerize: Hear My Voice, Emotional Influence (Love & Peace), Pacifist (2 point version), Artist, Fear of Rejection, Regeneration (Con per Round),Armor Value 10, Empathy, Ancient, Amphibious, Increased Swim Speed +20, Shape Shifting (Minor), Increased Life Points +300, Magic 7, Hard to Kill 6, Innate Magic, The Seeming, Contacts (Olympus Group) 5 Name - Score - Damage – Notes Dodge – 16 – None – Defensive Action Mesmerize (Meet My Gaze) – 26 – None – Line of Command, Crowds Mesmerize (Hear My Voice) – 26 – None – Line of Command, Crowds Feel the Power of Love – 26 – None -  Magic – 26 – Varies – By Spell Punch – 16 – 20 – Bash
Venus is a Siren, cursed to feel guilt for the pain she caused, it took her hundreds of years, but she eventually found the joy of life again and spent her remaining time spreading it, albeit partly as recompense. So many people mistook her for a goddess, she eventually took the name of one.  She's wandered the world spreading love where ever she goes with her voice and cheerful demeanor.  Nice, bubbly, and a little silly.  She embodies not just Eros, but all aspects of love.  Even providing comfort for the loss of it.    Venus has done a lot of different jobs over the years, from production designer, to magazine head to teacher.  In the 1980s, Ken told her about the troubles he saw in the African lands he was cursed in.  She took it upon herself to end the warfare and strife in at least that part of the country.  And she did.  Supremely.  Jimmy called her out of this role to join the team once again.  Her eagerness to "find a bad guy" was intense, so she hopped along.  After joining the Atlas Foundation, she was also drawn into the Olympus Group as a true inheritor of the role of Aphrodite.  She is defined by love above all things.  She loves purely and intensely.  It's really something to experience.

Bob's life is rather complicated, mired in inter-stellar treaties between a remnant colony of Ancients, the native L'gy'hx, and Mi-Go. Being raised with the ancients, enhanced by the Mi-Go, and accepted by the L'gy'hx, Bob presses on to help his friends in the Atlas Foundation, as they are the only family he has left. the L'gy'hx told him that he would not be accepted back should he return.  He first appeared on earth as a hero dubbed "Marvel Boy" in the 50s but returned to space due to the interspecies intrigues and his neutral status as a native earthling being important in the dealings.  Things went out of control, and he ended up with the L'gy'hx for years before Gorilla Man contacted him again to help Jimmy.  That was the last he saw of his second home.  It weighs on him sometimes, but he is glad to help his friends.

He was dropped from UNIT for not reporting the full details of the Atlas Foundation to them (but he did report them to his King). 
Tumblr media
Delroy Garrett Jr. a.k.a. Triathalon, The 3-D Man (II) Date of Birth: 1978 Motivation: Heroics Critter Type: Dimensionally Altered Human Attributes: Str 8, Dex 8, Con 8, Int 3, Per 8, Will 4 Ability Scores: Muscle 20, Combat 18, Brains 12 Life Points: 98 Drama Points: 10 Special Abilities: 3-D Sight, Iron Mind, Minority (African American), Contacts (Governmental 3), Hard to Kill 8, Regeneration (Con per Hour), Increased Speed +20, Natural Armor 4, Acute Senses (All), Enhanced Senses, Hatred (Skrulls), Honorable (minimal), Athlete Name - Score - Damage – Notes Jab - 20 - 19 - Bash Punch – 18 – 21 – Bash Haymaker - 15 - 28 - Bash, goes last Sweep Kick - 17 - 12 - Bash, can trip Kick – 17 – 23 – Bash Spin Kick - 16 - 24 – Bash
Delroy is a man split between dimensions.  This gave him attributes three times greater than that of an average human. He originally was an Olympic star, but as his dimensional nature began to manifest, he tested positive for drugs and had his medals stripped. He found himself drawn into a cult which amplified his dimensional nature, but eventually fell out with them after learning their true goals.  The Atlas Foundation eventually contacted him and helped stabilize his dimensional nature, and bring peace to one demon realm with their help.

Getting Inside People's Heads
This is an entire conversation me and some of my friends had. I've condensed the multiple messages into one.
MENTIONS OF: Abortion, murder, police brutality, school shootings
"I like to being up moral dilemmas and make them question what they thought they knew." -Me
"You bring up moral dilemmas? Like... ethical conundrums? Is this why you want to go into psychology?" -1 (Psychology student)
"Give me an example." -2
"Killing the Joker from DC. Why shouldn't we?" -Me
"Well, I'm not entirely against it. But to answer your question, theoretically killing the Joker means taking a life, which would make us little better than criminals. Not to mention, the legal and ethical ramifications of doing so... it's not as simple as 'he deserves it.'" -3 (law student friend.)
"Then why not fight against the death penalty?" -Me
"...good point." -2
"That's a different story. The Joker deserves the death penalty for his crimes. No one can argue that without being accused of kinning him. The problem that comes, however, with who is responsible for deciding how he should be punished. The system isn't perfect, but it's better than one person making that decision on their own." - Law Student
"Sounds to me like ur afraid of what would happen if you blew his brains out. You may be a Christian and not want to kill people, but I'm an atheist. So gimme the gun" - Psychology Student
"I got one out back in my shed. Make a portal to DC and let's hunt that son of a bitch!" -2
"In the Dark Knight movie, he kills 23 people. More than 30 died by his orders." -Me
"Hey, (Psychology student), would you actually shoot him in the head?" Law student
"With a smile on my face." -Psychology student
"If anyone were to say that 'you shouldn't be happy in causing pain' ...I bet they'd be singing a different tune if it was someone they cared about who was killed. You'd be out for blood. Emotions are too complex and a messy ordeal" -Me
"You're just saying that because you're a writer." -2
"...no comment." -Me
"It's okay to dislike someone. Even hate them, in some circumstances. But taking pleasure in hurting someone isn't. Even if they're the worst person in the world." -4 (Parental figure who was sleeping)
"Many people have said that they would gladly kill dictators without hesitation. Yet, nobody has tried to change their view points. Hitler, Stalin, Genghis Khan are just some examples. We all know what Hitler and Stalin did. Genghis Khan raped so many women that 16 million people are his descendants." -2
"Okay, I see where you're coming from. But there's a subtle difference between Hitler and the Joker. Hitler was very much a real person, who did a lot of terrible things in real life. In contrast, however, the Joker is...something else." -Parent
"We're talking like we are in the DC universe." -Law
"The Joker is also a real person in this theoretical conversation who has done terrible things in real life. Do you really think that if he got the chance, he wouldn't become a dictator and kill millions of people for his own sick pleasure?" -Me
"Oh." -Parent
"Joker is a real person in this chat right now, and his crimes aren't imaginary. The fact that he hasn't tried to conquer the world (yet) doesn't change that he has hurt others." -Me
"He looks like a Jerry." -2
"STOP SAYING EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE A JERRY!" -Psychology
"I didn't. I said a snake looked like a Judgemental Shoelace." -2
"And this conversation is an example of how I get into people's heads. Before me, you never would've thought about killing the Joker, would you?" -Me
"'No.'" Law and Parent
"Mayhaps." 2
"You do get in people's head. It's kinda scary to be honest. You'd be a good politician." Psychology
"True. I look pretty, have great hair, and am gkod at lying." Me
"Also! Superman could be considered scary. He can literally crush someone's skull in his hand with ease!" Law
"What about Wonder Woman?" Parent
"She's an intriguing character. A descendant of the gods. The gods, if they do still exist, didn't care for mortals in the myths. And how would a woman who was raised thousands of miles away on a hidden island react to modern times? I haven't seen her movie, so I cannot give a definite answer." Me
"WW...is a complex character. I'll give you that." Psychology
"Most beings who use emotions are. And Wonder Woman almost always uses her emotions. I'm not saying thst's a bad thing, considering her moral compass. I'm just saying that with her, her emotions usually triumph over her logic." Me
"You're not exactly wrong... She does use her emotions a lot. Probably more than she should. She's also incredibly compassionate, though. That's a trait that comes partly from emotional thinking. Her compassion for the innocent has let her do some remarkable things." Parent
"Killing for violence and killing for necessity are two very, very different things. Both can be argued in court however." Law
"Can we move on from this discussion? It's getting a little repetitive. Go back to the Joker part." 2
"Killed without hesitation and without mercy." Me
"...Jesus Christ and his mother. That was fast." Parent
"Same." 2
"I mean..." Psychology
"He's responsible for the deaths of over 30 people. I have no blood on my hands (human at least). No sweat off my back." Me
"Why is he irredeemable? He's a bad guy. Like Darkseid." 5 (The youngest who is just getting into DC)
"The bar is set a bit high for that, tiny." Me
"I'm not tiny!" Newbie
"You're 5'0." Law
"He had a therapist and turned her into his sidekick. Harley Quinn eventually left him for Ivy after realizing she deserved better. They're cannon." 2
"I like to study people and topics that people often use to play the devils advocate. It's easy to get in people's geads when the topic is a controversial issue." Me
"Creeeeeeeepyyy." 5
"Shut up. You collect animal skulls. Yku don't have a leg to stand on." Psychology
"Abortion being banned! Go!" Law
"It's a woman's right to get an abortion." Parent
"The woman is the one that carries the child. It's her body, her choice. The government can't tell her what to do with her own body." Me
"Death penalty." Law
"Dead." 2
"Some people don't deserve to live." Me
"No one's life can be fully defined in a black-and-white manner," Parent
"Anyone deserves a chance to prove their worth. People change as they grow and learn, and we should give everyone a chance to prove that they've changed. Plus the death penalty can lead to innocent people being executed." Newbie
"Okay, I'll give you that. I just don't agree with it." Me
"Climate change." Law
"Get rid of the old white men who only want more money than what they know what to do with." Me
"Kill Bezos/Zuckerberg?" 5/2
"I'm actually starting a cult about that." Me
"Bitch, you start a cult about everything." Psychology
"And?" Me
"Gun control." Law
"The Constitution was written back when Britain was truing to take control over the 13 colonies. Majority of people do not deserve to have guns. I'm going to say two words that explain why, are you ready?" Me
"School shootings." 5/2
"Yep." Me
"School shootings are proof that certain people shouldn't own guns. Not even for self defense. Guns make killing incredibly easy." 2
"Yeah. It's a lot harder to kill a room full of people with a knife than it is with an automatic assault rifle." Psychology
"Immigration." Law
"Come into the country legally and I don't give a shit." Me
"Damn." 2
"I agree with that." 5
"All the topics (Law) has brought up are things I agree with. Do something else, (Law)." Me
"Fine. Argue for police brutality. I'm not saying you have to agree with it, and I hope to God that you don't." Law
"Okay... You've seen the videos of the BLM protests, right?" Me
"Obviously." Everyone
"I'm saying that the protesters have turned violent and have looted stores, set fires, destroyed government vehicles, and stolen those vehicles as well." Me
"Why the fuck do you sound like a politician when you argue?" Psychology
"Dunno. Anygays, what I just did was not give you all the information. That's what a lot of news stations do."
"Dumbasses." Law

Last is Margaret, the Maid of Norway:
Who appropriately intersects with one of the cases where I shall pick up, with the Plantagenets. She represented the last bid of the first Scottish dynasty to hold onto the throne, which ultimately misfired because she died at the tender young age of eight. The result of this was the very inheritance crisis that permitted Edward I to have his opportunity to seek to first place a puppet king in Scotland and then to invade and outright conquer it.
For this, and for all else that would follow, he would open the opportunities to another Queen Matilda, as he was a very successful and brutish warlord and his son Edward II was.....not.
That said next up will be the history of the Mongol Empire as a part of women's history, both the unpleasant bits like how Genghis Khan has 16 million descendants these days, and the Khatuns who ran the Empire. The Mongols for much of Asia and parts of Europe are the watershed between eras, for Western Europe it was the Avignon Schism and the Hundred Years' War started by Edward I's grandson.

I am sure you heard of Genghis Khan, the great Mongol warlord who unleashed the greatest conquest cataclysm in world history. He built the greatest empire by land mass the world has seen and, in the process of doing so, killed around 40 million people. If that number isn’t impressive enough, consider that it is around 10% of the world population at his time! It is even said that killing so many people caused global climate change! If these achievements aren’t impressive enough, it is speculated that he slept with tens of thousands of women in his life, and 16 million people today are his direct descendants!  Even this day, his name is associated with conquest, fear, destruction, and terror. But surprisingly, even this “monster” had a soft side for his first wife Borte. He married her when he was 16 years old. But, unfortunately, only shortly after, a hostile Mongol tribe, the Merkits, attacked his camp ad kidnapped his wife. Kidnapping women from other tribes was a common practice in 12 century Mongolia. The father of Genghis Khan had even kidnapped his mother from the Merkit tribe many years ago. As you see, back then, things were much, much easier! You didn’t have to approach and date women. You simply chased with your horse and kidnapped the girl you liked! What an amazing era! Ok, all jokes aside... The poor young Genghis was devastated.   He said that his breast was “torn apart,” and his bed was “made empty.” Fortunately, with the help of some friends, he organized an attack on the Merkit camp and took back his wife. However, Borte had been captive for 8 months, and the chief who captured her took her as his wife… So, when 9 months after her rescue, she gave birth to her first son Jochi. Nobody was sure who the father was! Yet, Genghis loved Borte and knew that this wasn’t her fault. Therefore, he let Jochi remain with his family and raised him as his own son. And even if Genghis has taken multiple wives and concubines in his lifetime, only Borte won his heart and was the only wife that heavily influenced his decisions on several occasions. So, even he had his “special” girl! Do you know why? Because it is in our nature to connect deeply and truly love a woman that is a great match for us.  It amuses me when I see some dating gurus claiming you should never trust and love women. That only beta males love women, and the alpha never gives his heart to a chick. It really amuses me… Do they are more badasses than Genghis Khan and all the other great men in history who fell in love with a woman? I don’t think so… I think the guys who teach this nonsense are afraid of truly contenting and trusting women because they have their own issues and insecurities. And I truly believe that one part of the male psyche needs the love and affection of one “special” girl. You may be a conqueror that wants to go in bed with multiple women, but at the same time (if you are honest with yourself), you crave to find “the one.” That is how reality is, and you shouldn’t be ashamed of that. Nor should you believe that you are less of an “alpha” because you feel that way. I won’t lie to you.  It was fucking fantastic when I played the Casanova game and slept with many women. But it was also great when I found my “special” girl and settled in an amazing relationship with her. You are a conqueror but at the same time crave “the one.” Never forget that. That is for today.

Mongolia
General Information Mongolia is a country in North Central Asia, landlocked between Russia and China. The Mongolian homeland is divided into Outer Mongolia, the independent state which this article primarily refers to, and Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region of China (most ethnic Mongols actually live in the latter). Mongols likely are descendants of various nomadic tribes that lived in the region over 1.000 years ago such as the Huns, Xiongnu and Khitans. The concept of a Mongolian nation largely arose with the rise of Genghis Khan, who united all Mongol speaking tribes, becoming the “ruler of All The Mongols” and founder of the Mongol Empire around the early 13th century. The Mongol Empire rapidly grew into the world’s leading military power and conquered large parts of Eurasia. Over the next few generations however the Mongol Empire became increasingly fragmented, and the Han Chinese Ming dynasty overthrowing the Mongol-ruled Yuan dynasty in 1368 is usually considered its end, though some Mongol states like the Northern Yuan (until 1635) and the Golden Horde (until 1502) continued on. Mongolia later became part of the Manchu Qing dynasty (Inner Mongolia earlier than Outer Mongolia). With the fall of Qing, Mongolia declared its independence in January 1913, with the new head of state Bogd Khan controlling the area of Outer Mongolia. After his death, the socialist Mongolian People’s Republic was declared in 1924. Like many other Eastern bloc states, Mongolia started its transition to democracy in 1990. About 90% of the 3 Million inhabitants of the country are Ethnic Mongols, with Khalka Mongols (80+%) being by far the biggest groups. Other inhabitants are mostly Central Asian Turks such as Kazakhs, in bigger cities there are some Russians and Chinese. About 53% of inhabitants are Buddhist, 39% have no religion. The capital is Ulaanbaatar.
Tumblr media
Traditional vs. Cyrillic Script In Mongolia, you will see a lot of Cyrillic Script - but not exclusively. Mongol has been transcribed in many different alphabets throughout history. The most traditional Mongol alphabet is one that was adapted from an Uyghur alphabet during Genghis Khan’s times. This is still the primarily used writing system for Mongol language texts in Inner Mongolia. In the country of Mongolia however, due to Soviet influence a Latin script was used in the 1930s (during the time of the latinisation movement in the Soviet Union) and starting 1941, Cyrillic became the standard writing system and still predominates today. Just recently in 2020 the Mongolian government announced plans to soon use both scripts again in official documents.
Tumblr media
Ger, the Mongolian Yurt An important part of Mongolian culture is the ger, a type of tent used in the traditional nomadic lifestyle of Mongols. In rural areas many pgople still live in gers today. There are a lot of traditions and superstitions related to the Ger: The door has to face South, the North is the place of honour (appropriate for religious or family pictures/objects, as well as the direction where the leader or oldest of a ger tends to sit), the West is the men’s side, the East the women’s side. The stove is at the centre. Visitors should ideally approach the ger from Southwest and never step on the threshold, open the door with the left hand and do the first step with the right leg.

~ Anastasia Economy The economy of Mongolia has traditionally been based on agriculture and livestock. Mongolia's economic freedom score is 62.4, making its economy the 86th freest in the 2021 Index. Mongolia's economy is rated as moderately free. The worst days are definitely behind, at its height one-third of GDP disappeared almost overnight in 1990–91 due to, at the time of the Collapse of the Soviet Union. Mongolia was driven into a deep recession.
Tumblr media
Mongolian Empire  The Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous empire the world has ever seen. The Mongol Empire covered 9.15 million square miles of land - more than 16% of the earth's landmass.The empire was established by Genghis Khan. He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia. Genghis Khan was a very high performer mainly due to the unique combination of strategic vision, political smarts and battlefield cruelty that gave Genghis unparalleled success. More details might be found on the video below.

We’re all descended from royalty
In 1999, the Yale statistician Joseph Chang showed that if you go back far enough – say, 32 generations, or 900 years – you’d find that everyone alive today shares a common ancestor. In Europe, where lineages have been closely studied, that ancestor was someone who lived just 600 years ago.
A 2013 study from Peter Ralph and Graham Coop built on Chang’s research, proving that all Europeans come from the same people. More recently, Rutherford has demonstrated that virtually everyone in Europe is indeed descended from royalty – specifically from Charlemagne, who ruled western Europe from 768 to 814.
A 2002 article offers more clarifying examples: “Almost everyone in the New World [aka the Americas, including Bermuda and the Caribbean] must be descended from English royalty – even people of predominantly African or Native American ancestry, because of the long history of intermarriage in the Americas. Similarly, everyone of European ancestry must descend from Muhammad.” Meanwhile, “Confucius, Nefertiti, and just about any other ancient historical figure who was even moderately prolific must today be counted among everyone’s ancestors”.
In other words, mathematically speaking, we’re all related to royalty.
...In 2003, a groundbreaking study showed that one in every 200 men worldwide (and 16 million in central Asia) are direct-line descendants of the 12th-century Mongolian emperor Genghis Khan. Yet Khan’s not the only Asian ruler responsible for millions of Y-chromosome lineages. According to an international study in 2005, 10 other men living in Asia and the Middle East between 2100 BC and 700 AD left behind prolific royal lines. One of them was a 16th-century Qing dynasty ruler named Giocangga, whose descendants include 1.5 million men in modern northern China.
Over in South America, genetic and historical research has found noble bloodlines directly connecting Atahualpa, the last Incan emperor (who died 1533), to some of modern Peru’s humblest families.
And don’t forget about the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, aka King Tut. Half of all men living in western Europe are related to him, geneticists in Switzerland say, including up to 70% of men in Great Britain.

It's a picture the mass media typically reinforces. There are very few Asian American male prospects in Hollywood, and just not long ago have much more Asian characters been cast as like interests. The tv indicates Master of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and None, for instance, stick out for pairing Asian men with white females. In order to improve the success rates of his on AMWFScene, shrewd individuals made a rule for themselves. Instead than cast a wide net, he'd message just one single female per week. This alleviated the sensation of being overwhelmed and also made it easier for him arrive at learn the individual he was curious in.
A typical stigma by the Asian American male society throughout the nation is that they think that they are with the bottom level of the dating hierarchy and Caucasian women are at the very top. Kevin Kreider saw this particular very first hands with the desire inside the modeling trade but could it be true? Very likely, the replies anywhere within the center. A lot of people of different races have come away and mentioned that there is less of a chinese masculine existence of Hollywood movies, that ripples down to the way attractive they are perceived. Even if it is not explicitly reported, perhaps there is an unspoken disinterest. This person acknowledges it throughout her places and also blog as amwf relationships.
Every person's penis is unique, but simply because there's the stereotype that directly concentrates on Asians, which grows into a problem. I do not believe women want a microscopic penis on the boyfriends of theirs, and that's why this specific stereotype can potentially hurt the picture of a chinese guy. I'm as a result of an assorted qualifications, five continents, 11 various nationalities within six years. You can choose to concur or perhaps don't agree. My awesome fantastic family and grandma moved from Hawaii to China while in the first to develop trade routes among China and Hawaii plus married locally, settling inside Zhongshan, China following the Taiping Rebellion. Genghis Khan has more than 16 million strong descendants, many people surviving in the US as apparently entirely white colored Caucasians. Most of the people around the world have cultural markers that come from the world.

Revelation 1:3 comments: Read, hear, and keep
1:3 ¶  Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Verse 3 - The reader is blessed. But without understanding from a willing heart reading is wasted.
Nehemiah 8:3  And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law…8  So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
Ephesians 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
The hearer is blessed. Hearing something implies obedience or it is useless.
Psalm 18:44  As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
Those who keep this information are blessed. One definition of to keep is defined as to protect or guard as in the keep of a castle, the strong tower which is a defense of last resort.
Genesis 3:24  So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Another definition of keep is to maintain or follow something as in keep a rule or keep a covenant.
Genesis 2:15  And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Genesis 18:19  For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Keeping God’s word to pass on to the next generation is very important, something the Jews failed to do, and one reason why Christians in America are losing in the battle of passing their faith on to the next generation.
Judges 2:10  And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
Still another definition of keep can be to stay as in staying in bed.
Exodus 21:18  And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
It can also be for a man to stay at home and not be out partying as the following verse hints at the antichrist, the beast of Revelation to come.
Habakkuk 2:5  Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
Or a wife, who should not be what we called down South a gadabout going around gossiping and visiting others for that purpose, always busy outside of the home.
Titus 2:5  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Contrast the verse in Titus with these verses in Timothy.
1Timothy 5:13  And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
(Note that those verses do not mean that Paul thought women who have to work outside of the home were wicked. This is about bringing reproach on Christ’s name. See the reference to Lydia, a businesswoman, in Act 16:14, 15 and that there is no condemnation of her.)
The time is at hand – What does it mean when something is at hand? It means soon to arrive as in imminent or pending. It means that the time is near.
Genesis 27:41  And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
Jeremiah 23:23  Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
Satan does not know when the end will be and neither do you so he always has a great political and military leader, apostate and godless, waiting to be his man whether he be a Genghis Khan, Frederick the Great, a Stalin, or a Hitler. But, Jesus said to His disciples;
John 7:6  Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
As we are one heartbeat from eternity so is the world merely a moment away from the beginning of the end. In fact, every generation carries a dress rehearsal, whether it be the Mongol invasions of the thirteenth century that killed 20% of the world’s population, the Black Plague of the same era that killed half of Europe, the Thirty Years War in Germany in the seventeenth century that killed one of six Germans, or World War Two which killed sixty million people. We must always be prepared to die or to be translated to Heaven.
Titus 2:11 ¶ For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
 1Thessalonians 4:16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
 The end of human-centered history, as well, is one fearful whisper, one cry of anguish, one spade of dirt thrown on a mass grave away.
 From this verse we see three things are asked; to read, to hear, and to keep. These are important points when picking up your Bible and opening it daily. Read, hear, and keep. Guard the word in your heart, follow the word, and stay in the word of God.
Psalm 119:11  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Parents do this when they pray with their children, read the Bible to their children, and live themselves as they want their children to live talking about their faith on a daily basis. Do not let this prophecy, the words of Revelation, go unknown to the next generation. I’m not talking about someone’s opinion of who the Antichrist is or when the translation of the church will take place but what the text actually says.
