i read that genghis kahn is responsable for the largest one day death toll 2 million counted by ears is thi?

Question

counted them by their ears is this true i believe it was Constantanobal

Answer 1

2 million in one day? he must have used an atomic bomb!

i don't think it's possible with conventional army in that time to kill that number of soldiers and civilians.. you need a number of army much greater than 2 million.. without communication devices like today, i think it's impossible to command the army this huge

let aside to count their ears!

I'm sorry i don't know Genghis Khan history, but i think the number is ridiculous

Answer 2

That's impossible. No city in the world in the 13th century had 2 million people... let alone the time it would take to kill 2 million people using swords and arrows.

It took the Nazis 6 years to kill 6 million Jews and that was systematic genoicide.

Perhaps, in the 80 odd years that the Mongols were rampaging across Asia and Europe they killed 2 million people total.

But in one day, impossible.

Answer 3

u know i love how TV and many writers make Kahn to to be a barbarian but in all accounts he wasn't. in fact Kahn was known to let of a defeated army join his ranks he even paid them the same rates as his own men. and when he took a city he didn't treat them as slaves they were treated as weal as his home city was in fact they were even able to keep their own faiths.
