Seven hundred years ago a man almost conquered the earth. He made himself master of half the known world, and inspired humankind with a fear that lasted for generations. In the course of his life he was given many names-the Mighty Manslayer, the Scourge of God, the Perfect Warrior, and The Master of Thrones and Crowns. He is better known to us as Genghis Khan.
