00:00Genghis Khan's entire life in 60 seconds. At nine years old, he was abandoned in the wilderness and
00:05left to die. Temujin was born around 1162 on the Mongolian steppe. His father was poisoned by
00:11enemies when Temujin was still a child. His own tribe abandoned his family, leaving them to survive
00:16alone through brutal winters with almost nothing to eat. He was captured and enslaved as a teenager.
00:21He escaped. He was betrayed by his closest friend. He kept going. Slowly, Temujin did something no
00:27one had ever done. He united the warring Mongol tribes under one banner. In 1206, they gave him
00:33a new name, Genghis Khan, universal ruler. What followed was the largest land empire in human
00:39history. From China to Persia, his armies moved faster and hit harder than anything the world
00:44had seen. He opened trade routes across continents and changed how civilizations connected. Millions
00:50died in his conquests. Entire cities were erased, but so were the borders that once divided half
00:55the world. He started with nothing and reshaped everything.
