Genghis Khan — World Conqueror

He was born clutching a blood clot in his fist, which the Mongol shamans said meant he was destined to rule the world. He was enslaved as a child, kidnapped, and abandoned. He rose from nothing to unite every Mongol tribe under a single banner and then conquer more territory in twenty-five years than Rome conquered in four centuries. Genghis Khan was the greatest military commander in history — but also the architect of a legal code that guaranteed religious freedom, the protection of merchants, and diplomatic immunity for ambassadors. He was ruthless to those who resisted and extraordinarily generous to those who submitted. He died in 1227. The empire he built lasted another century and a half.

These signs carry the nine-yak-tail standard, the Mongol bow, the great yurt, and the sky blue banner of the man who connected the world.
