First off I would like to say how greatful I am to be living in this time period. Geghis Khan, this guy is nothing but bad news. Only someone who searches for immortality can be someone of evil character, especially when you make an old man travel so far just for him to get an answer. I think he is a horrible man. He is guilty for leading tens of millions of deaths, violating women and children, and influencial to the Mongols who did nothing but terrible things to people and Russia. The Mongols spent their lives on horseback and out doors and they ate the nastiest things. I guess at that time it was better to be a Mongol than it was to try to avoid them, but never in a million years would I eat the way they did.
Towards the end of the reading the Slavophilic historians stated Russia should be greatful to the Tatars, which I disagree completely. The Mongols intruded and invaded the people of Russia. I would rather be subjected to the Roman church than to be take over in the way the Mongols did.
