The Great Tartarian Empire

Tartary is a vast country in the northern parts of Asia, bounded by Siberia on the north and west: this is called Great Tartary. Tartary was a country with its own flag, its own government, its own language and its own place on maps, especially predating the second half of the 19th century. Its territory was huge, but somehow quietly incorporated into Russia, China, and some other countries. https://atlanteangardens.blogspot.com…

Genghis Khan was the founder and first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death. He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia. More from anthropologist and author Roert Sepehr. Here we present both installments of this two-part video.

The combination of its weight combined with short legs pushed the rhino deeper into snowdrifts and into lakes and rivers, leading to its ultimate extinction. In this edition of Origins Explained, host Katrina Maree counts down the 10 most amazing animals who suffered similar fates.

Children of the Tundra

People living in the tundra are accustomed to a nomadic life. Tents are their homes, food is basic, and the reindeer is king. They don’t watch TV or use the Internet. However, their children do go to boarding schools, but not all parents are in favor of them.

The Coldest Place on Earth

In our next post, we’ll explore how politicians are shamelessly using climate change to grab power. For now, we’ll visit the coldest place on the planet, Oymyakon, a Siberian village that’s co cold you can’t take boiling water outside without it freezing over.
