Gengis Khan (b.©1162-d.1227)

While the date of Gengis (also known asTemujin) Khan's birth is unknown what is certain is that from humble beginnings he went on to unite the nomadic Mongol tribes under his own rule. He then began the raiding campaigns for which the Mongols became infamous. Upon his death, loyal subjects paraded his arse on a stick through the capital city Karakorum. Again a wide, flat ring from years on horseback.
