Chinggis khan built the Mongolian Empire when he was 44, and died in 1229, when he was 67. Children born from the 4 queens that were allowed to intervene in political issues and their descendants are known as “AltanUrag” /The Golden Lineage/ in the history. Those descendants governed Mongolia until 1654.

Among the 60 wars he had participated in 4 of them, which were with Naiman tribe, Zurchid’s Golden country, Khorezm Empire, Tanguud tribe, made major influence on history. He used to take an army with about 100 thousand cavalries with 200 – 400 thousand horses. The main powers of the Mongolian army were powerful horses, discipline, swordsmanship and archery, and the historians believe that it was Genghis Khan who created those powers.

“IkhZasag” [The Great Law] founded by Chinggis khan, was the constitution of Mongolia that time, and it was the first constitution to be written in the Central Asia. There are some historians who consider that the environmental articles in that law were the first environmental laws to be written. Chinggis khan thought about the future administration method, how to keep their cultural heritages and how to synthesize the different traditions and customs of the varying clans considerably. In the last 10 years of his life, he left his will of who should reign over Mongolia after his death and how they should proceed. So that, after his death, the empire he founded expanded dramatically and the capital, relay stations and trading system he founded had flourished.

Not only Chinggis khan was a military general, but also he was a great leader. Accepting that, “Washington Post” named him as the “Man of the Second Millennium”. Even though Chinggis khan had reached a great success, he didn’t have his portrait drawn, his monuments made, his image engraved on the coins. He didn’t wish to be sung in songs, written in poems, name castles and temples after his name. When he died he was buried in his motherland as he wished – without any tomb, temple, pyramids, not even a tombstone. Jack Weatherford, American historian, noted that when the great king died, he infused with the Mongolian land where he was born. In the last 20 years, Study of Genghis khan has freshened and started to develop individually including scientists from various countries.
