Jamuqa was kicked to death?

It is an error. According to "The Secret History of Mongols", the Genghis Khan's soldiers broke Jamuqa's back to execute him without spilling blood. I don't think that "to be kicked to death" would be a noble death in any culture. --GenuineMongol (talk) 07:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was recently changed by an IP. Of course the Secret History is the ultimate source in this case. --Latebird (talk) 08:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Frank McLynn's account in his book on Genghis Khan has a rather different account, stating that Jamuga was hacked to pieces in a dishonourable execution, and that the Secret History switched the speakers in dialogue in error. He also holds that the Secret History is not entirely reliable in this and other matters. - Redmess (talk) 01:35, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image

An image of an actor portraying Jamukha is not appropriate for an article on a historical figure. We don't put pictures of Collin Farrell in the Alexander the Great article, do we? I'm going to delete it. If anyone has a problem with that, please post comments here. Cheers, ask123 (talk) 19:56, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
