Episode 1 of The History of the Mongols delves into the dramatic birth and early life of Temüjin, the man who would become Genghis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire.

In this premiere episode, we journey to the harsh, wind-swept steppe near the Onon River, where Temüjin’s clan faced exile, betrayal, and survival against the odds. Discover how this young boy, born into hardship, began forging the alliances and reforms that would eventually unite the fractured Mongol tribes under one banner. From tribal warfare to steppe diplomacy, this episode sets the foundation for a legendary rise to power, one that would shape medieval history, redefine warfare, and create the largest contiguous empire the world has ever seen.

 

Whether you’re a fan of Genghis Khan, medieval history, steppe nomads, or immersive historical storytelling, this series is your definitive guide to the rise and legacy of the Mongol Empire.
