In 1162, deep in the heart of Asia, a child
was born. He was clutching a blood clot, a sign from heaven that he
was destined to be a great warrior. His life was to become a
legend, his name Genghis Khan.
Many believe his story is simple, that he was the incarnation of
evil, a brutal barbarian who butchered millions. But the real
character of Genghis Khan is far more intriguing. How did this
illiterate outcaste turned the feud in tribes of Mongolia into a
powerful nation and how did he transformed the Mongol hordes into a
ruthless and disciplined fighting machine, an army with
revolutionary tactics and ingenious weapons that ultimately stood
poise to conquer Europe. and while on his death bed, did he believe
his divine mission remained unfulfilled. Soon I will know death,
but I will never know my destiny.
Shortly after his death, his heirs gathered their memories into an
epic count of his life. They called it the secret history of the
Mongol. Evidence in chinese and persian sources, the working of
leading scholars and the secret history allow this to be the most
complete television potrait of Genghis Khan ever made. The
characters of all real historical figures and the words of Genghis
Khan eluted in the great speeches of the secret history. This is
the story of how that tiny fist turned to iron and came to rule the
largest land empire ever known to man.
In 1215, the Mongol warrior Genghis Khan led his army to Beijing,
capital of Northern China. After fighting his way across Asia, the
city stood before him. The Beijing was protected by formidable
defenses. Surrounding it was a wall 12 meters high and 30
kilometers long. Behind the wall was one of the worlds most
advanced army. First, Genghis Khan besieged the city. Then he
ordered an old vicious attack. He forced enemy prisoners to fill
his frontline. He built new weapons to attack the citys defenses.
Finally having endured the Chinese arrows and bombs, he commanded
his Mongol warriors to scale the walls. Genghis Khan sensed the
victory within his grasp. Beijing was fighting for its life.
A poor nomad from the remote Mongol steppe, Genghis Khan has made
an extaordinary journey. The boy who would become Genghis Khan was
called Temujin, he was the son of a tribal warrior chief. When he
was only nine years old, he received news that was to change his
life.
