    Abstract
    Broadcast Transcript: So is it Genghis Khaan or Jengis Khaan? Neither, actually. Here in Mongolia, they say Chinggis Khaan when they're talking about the man who founded an empire that extended into parts of China, Central Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe and lasted for 150 years after his death. Chinggis Khaan began life as Temujin. During his childhood, Mongolia was divided with different nomadic tribes waging war on one another for supremacy. When he was 9, Temujin's father was poisoned by a rival chieftain. It wasn't until he had unified the country that he took the title Chinggis Khaan--Chinggis for "universal", Khaan, for "king"--to set him above his peers. So you might summarize his progress from chieftain to ruler like this: "peer today... khaan tomorrow." #ceas #hacker #mongolia
