Talk:Genghis Khan

How half-brother Behter got killed

According to "The secret history of the Mongols" (and also "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World") there are three reasons why Temüjin killed his half-brother:

1. Bekter was going to marry his mother, (by Mongol tradition) which Temüjin opposed.
2. Bekter kept pushing the younger brothers around, Temüjin did not like how Bekter used his inherited power.
3. Temüjin did not like being under the reign of anyone, especially a mistreating older half-brother.

The current statement "Temüjin killed his half-brother Behter during a fight over hunting spoils." is incredibly misleading and gives the impression, that Temüjin was just a wild savage.

I thought this brother was formerly called Kaza, and I think my mother has descent from Kaza possibly via 17th century Buddhist Mongol troops, and she has a psychopathic abnormality of pertly eating up cake among others when left deliberately at home for eating later. Me, Inez you know who "Where is the rest of the cake?" Mother:"I ate it up!". Steppe Hunger is the answer for Temujine´s reaction with my father a descendant´s comment "This is enough," — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.103.93.87 (talk) 17:27, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Within this one page you can see that the killing was not a quarrel, but a planned out murder: http://books.google.ee/books?id=GKCtl8BLaEsC&lpg=PA19&vq=begter&hl=et&pg=PA19#v=onepage&q&f=false The part about Bekter marrying his mother is unfortunately hidden from this preview of the book.

a mistake that should be edited

It says "spouse" and then lists a number of names. It should be "spouses" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.28.82.202 (talk) 07:06, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

78.28.82.202: That's a limitation built into Template:Infobox royalty. I'd suggest mentioning this on the template talk page.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 04:55, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Asian New Year

There is no such thing as "Asia New Year". Different cultures set different dates as New Year. --2.245.145.148 (talk) 00:10, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
