How about the fact that half of all Muslims in India and Pakistan have "Khan" as a surname? How about the fact that two of Asia's greatest conquerors, Timur and Nader Shah, tried to emulate Genghis?
>>1134451
>>1134647
>those barbarians
>conquerors
that's why Asia lost the game until now
>>1134647
By that logic, Muhammad would be more "based" because more Muslims are named after him than Khan. So....
>>1134654
Timur was only barbarian in his treatment of his enemies, he was highly intelligent and intellectual.
Nader Shah was kind of like Napoleon but crueler and less intelligent because his inspirations were Genghis and Timur and because Napoleon is god-tier in terms of reforms.
>>1134662
I consider Muhammad to be very based from a historical perspective. I just don't like the fact that people still like to emulate him 1400 years after his death.
>>1134651
Restored. There was a decent amount about him on the Silk Roads series BBC4 are currently doing.

Mongolian empire is the base upon which dozens of countries sit upon. India, China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, all of these have some of the most significant key points in their history tracing back to the Mongolian empire. Mughal, Yuan, Miscovy vassalage to the Golden Horde, Persian Turk ruled dynasties, Ottomans. And even more smaller less relevant countries as well.
Not to mention, from the day Genghis Khan set out, until the early 1900s, there was a nation who derived directly from the Mongol Empire. About 700 years of Mongol derived dynasties and nations across Eurasia, not to mention Mongolia itself still stands today.
The Mongolian empiremay not have mich physical history remaining, but the very borders and geo political state of the world were directly shaped by the Mongol Empire more than most other events.

He didn't live forever.
>>1134451
He started as an orphan, then a slave but ended as the khan of khans. The whole legacy of his empire is one thing, but his personal achievements are impressive as fuck.
>>1134451
He has left no postive legacy, he just led a bunch of pillaging savages who piggy bacled off of actual civilizations

Asia was winning "the game" more or less until the 1600s or so
>>1134654
Europe didn't come into a position of preeminence until the 18th century and they didn't completely overshoot asia until the 19th

What about the Silk Road or the spread of Chinese technologies to Europe?
>>1134647
Khan isn't a direct reference to Genghis Khan. Khan (and similars) is a turco-mongol title that was also spread to iranic and persianate states. Plenty of turkic and central asian big men had the title of khan, the mongols were just another people who did in the steppe, and the Delhi Sultanate that governed india for centuries was always governed by either turkics or afghans.

Not really. Europe started to eclipse Asia by the 1400s and Europe had overtaken Asia almost completely by the late 1500s. Obviously Asia still had some tech Europe didn't have such as borehole drilling, a primitive Bessemer process, and iron rockets, but overall Europe was still definitely ahead.
>>1134664
Nadir "inherited" (took by force) an Iran that was completely cucked and ravaged by all sides. Revolutionary France was winning a war against the world even before Napoleon arrived to power (which doesn't mean that was in a perfect state). Also Napoleon while having kind of humble origins studied in a french military academy, Nader didn't study anything anywhere and growed being a bandit.
Very different backgrounds.
>>1137133
Not even close. Europe was a backwater until the 16th century.
