moderately off-topic because we're here discussing acoup.blog, but i just finished the fall of civilizations podcast episodes on the rise and fall of the mongols. it's really fascinating and sheds quite a bit of light on some things that have been mythologized about chinggis khan
- the_af 2y agoI think the same happens with any history of warrior cultures. Same with Japanese samurai, etc. They enter into popular culture, get mythologized, and all nuance flies out the window.
