Hey, Tsonjin Boldog! I've been there! I got to pose with a Mongolian Golden Eagle in front of the statue (and also go all the way up to the top for an amazing panoramic view of the steppe).pic.twitter.com/aO8l20ga6W
A 131-foot-tall statue of Genghis Khan and his horse, in stainless steel, sits atop the Mongolian steppe. It is the world's largest equestrian statue. (http://www.orangesmile.com/extreme/en/largest-monuments/genghis-khan-statue.htm …)pic.twitter.com/pmRXt8O8lA

I'd just like to point out that he was, most likely, history's greatest murderer by relative numbers, and the Mongolian government removed the last statue of Lenin in the capital city on grounds it represented oppression. Freedom is a funny thing.

Power hungry murderers regardless...

I'll keep myself from having a political flamefight here, but my point is a selective relativization of the crimes and accomplishments of regimes. The British Raj deliberately let tens of millions starve for naught, yet the UK never ceased to be considered a bulwark of democracy.

I agree and feel the same...the only difference is that in both cases murder is involved, and that's what my issue is. As for the statue, it looks good. But that's all. Behind the looks is murder...pretty much the history of heroes and conquerors known to the world
