Genghis Khan | The Conqueror Who Invented Religious Freedom
-

By:
He built the largest contiguous empire in human history.
His campaigns killed millions. Entire cities vanished before the advance of the Mongol armies. To many, Genghis Khan remains the ultimate symbol of conquest and destruction.
Yet there is another side to his story.
Under Mongol rule, religious leaders of different faiths were granted protection. Clergy were exempted from taxation. Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and others were allowed to worship freely within an empire that stretched across continents.
How did one of history's most feared conquerors create one of the earliest large-scale systems of religious tolerance?
This episode explores the life of Genghis Khan, the rise of the Mongol Empire, and the contradiction at the heart of one of history's most consequential figures.
Monster. Reformer. Visionary. Destroyer.
Perhaps all of them.
A Ministry of Mind production.
