Item: Genghis Khan Dies (1227)
#227 

0
Event Though infamous for slaughtering entire cities and destroying fields and irrigation systems, Genghis Khan is admired for his military brilliance. The emperor-warrior consolidated nomadic tribes into a unified Mongolia and led them to conquer much of Asia from the Pacific coast to Eastern Europe. He died on a military campaign in China, and the empire was divided. The circumstances of his death are unclear. According to legend, how did his descendants ensure that his grave would remain hidden?

He'll be very upset when they thaw him out...

Well, I suppose events don't come much more important than this one....
DJ 12:31:10 | 17 Dec 2011
You see, even though I know there must be a perfectly rational explanation for this... it's still veeerry eerie....
DJ 20:37:12 | 6 Dec 2011
I wonder why this never really took off as an extreme sport...
DJ 08:41:21 | 24 Oct 2011
...and thereby launched half a century of extreme sports enthusiasm :-)
DJ 08:06:45 | 17 Aug 2011
The greatest achievement of the 20th Century... and we haven't been back there for 40 years....
DJ 07:39:38 | 21 Jul 2011
This endeavour surely encapsulates the beginning of a 500 year period of European domination of the East, which is only now being truly dismantled...
DJ 22:38:57 | 8 Jul 2011
Happy Father's Day to all the Top 100 Dads!
DJ 09:57:51 | 19 Jun 2011
I guess historical events don't come much more important than this... should be top 10 at least!

If you haven't seen the movie "Bowling for Columbine", it's worth a viewing..

Coined by George Orwell (in 1945), first used by Bernard Baruch in 1947...
DJ 08:36:51 | 16 Apr 2011
Who doesn't like tigers?! >:^,
Spiny Norman 08:02:51 | 2 Apr 2011
Is it wishful thinking to hope that we never again see this kind of deliberate, wholesale massacre of civilian populations...?
DJ 07:50:26 | 9 Mar 2011
Not Mr Perfect by any means, but I can't disagree with that... he was also the most vocal opponent of appeasement in the 1930s, warning largely deaf ears of the growing threat from the national socialism movement in continental Europe.
DJ 08:53:19 | 6 Mar 2011
Churchill, Hitler, Stalin, FDR & Mao - all astonishing men in astonishing times but for me, it's Churchill who is the Man of the 20th Century.
He was warning FDR about Stalin's Iron Curtain intentions for several years before the phrase was coined and wanted - I gather - to attack the Russians and drive them out of Western Europe but FDR would have none of it.

It's unbelieveable that the murder of a head of state can remain unsolved all this time. One for the conspiracy theorists...
DJ 08:05:56 | 28 Feb 2011
Now THAT's what I call a ship!
Winston 07:56:32 | 10 Feb 2011
Even though it was before my time, this seems memorable as one of the most talked about disasters in football history...
DJ 08:55:07 | 6 Feb 2011
50 years ago today... why aren't there chimps (or close living relatives) on the moon?!
DJ 08:09:31 | 31 Jan 2011
Ever looked at a map of what is now Germany from 1648? ...clear as mud!
DJ 08:25:20 | 30 Jan 2011
Correct. You should go on University Challenge ;-)
