Ghengiz Khan

I went to an exhibition at the Met on Genghiz Khan. It was a superb show highlighting the art and artifacts from the mongol rule in central asia, persia, china and India. It is amazing to see when barbarians came into contact with cultured people, they assumed some of the attributes of the conquered. From the islamic miniatures to the tiles. The great book compilations withe pages depicting islamic life in the style and stories of christianity, hinduism and buddhism.

For NY area guppies and thos who are visiting…it’s a great treat.

Excuse me, but I'm not sure if "Genghiz Khan" is the right word. Please paste a link to an online dictionary every time you use a controversial, multi-lingual word. Thank you.

P.S. I suppose by NY you mean nayoo yarrak? btw how far is nayoo yarrak fraam boooston?

Genghis Khan is a corruption of Changez, I believe his real name was Temujin?

No Genghis Khan was the title he gave himself which meant King of the world, kind of like Shah Jahan was not a real name but a self bestowed title.
