The Mongols were a superstitious race, they had no organized public religion, but believed all sort of shamanism, oracles, magic and images. There was also a one overall God “Tengri”. The Mongols regarded the tops of mountains and origins of springs as the home of God sacred to those higher powers and the spirit of water. It was considered unholy to wash clothes, bodies, cooking in water, with potential consequences to personal hygiene. The dirt helped to provide protection against the deadly cold. In their own myths, they were the offspring of a blue wolf, seen as human predator.
The advance of the Mongol hordes is one of the most significant historical events of the last thousand years. Quite apart from the destruction, they completely altered the distribution of people, wealth and disease within the known world.
The Mongols had ingenious ways to kill, for example their nobles were strangled with a bow-string or buried alive. Genghis had his old friend “ Kushlek” suffocated under a pile of carpets. Murders were reserved to their enemies. The Mongol life was structured on having wives, chase, slaughter and feeding. Loyalty was the state of presenting blood in the slaughter of their horses as sacrifice.
REMEMBER: The dynasty of China brought the Dragon for executing its action. Without America and Europe, China’s human right would be on a record high as Mongols stacked heads Pyramids.
The Mongols world and Muslims world although evolved differently, there is considerable similarities between them. What is the difference between Mongols and Abbasids cultures? They both testify human sacrifices to gain the advantage.
