À propos de ce contenu audio

 In the year 1162, on the windswept banks of the Onon River in what is now Mongolia, a boy was born clutching a blood clot in his fist — an omen, his people said, that he would conquer the world. His name was Temüjin, and he would grow up to become Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire. In this pilot episode of our new series, we step onto the steppe and into the world of 12th-century Mongolia: a land of rival clans, tribal vendettas, and constant warfare. We meet Temüjin as a child, abandoned by his clan after his father's murder, scavenging for survival. We explore the harsh environment that forged the Mongols into the toughest horsemen and archers the world had ever seen. And we ask the question that drives this entire series: how did a single man unite warring tribes and build the largest contiguous land empire in history? Along the way, we touch on key Mongol concepts like the kurultai (tribal council) and the yassa (code of law), and we meet figures like Yesügei (Temüjin's father) and Jamukha (his blood brother turned rival). This episode sets the stage for an epic story of ambition, brutality, and genius that reshaped Eurasia.
