Hope you like the Mongolia episode. As you know,

This is the part where I kind of fix the mistakes that were in the video, or I talked about things that didn't quite make it

into the video. For one, I accidentally used the wrong picture for Genghis Khan

I used Kublai Khan his grandson

and speaking of which, I feel like I didn't even really talk too much about Genghis Khan throughout the video. Granted yes,

there's a lot of controversy that comes with him, a lot of his actions were brutal.

But at the same time, he really changed up the entire game for an entire content

Which is kind of why he's seen as like an iconic figure

He was born with the name Tim Wu gene and he later became the leader of the board G King clan

it wasn't until he actually United all of the other tribes and clans around him that he actually got the title of Genghis Khan which

Means something like Universal King, and yes

He was known for fighting in a lot of violent battles persian city of merv was like the largest killing ground

But at the same time he was also a very innovative geopolitical strategist

He even consulted a lot of clergy from different religions such as Buddha's Hindus Christians Muslims and to this day his burial ground is unknown

Because all the people that buried him were ordered to be killed. Also, there's some controversy behind the Buddhism in Mongolia

Some people will say that Buddhism was kind of like brought in as a way to control the population

From growing to much as in about a third of the entire population at one point where Buddhist monks that were celibate

There's probably a few other things I could have mentioned

But we really don't have a lot of time and we got to get into the flag thing. So without further ado

Dude we went from Monaco the most densely packed nation in the world to Mongolia the most sparsely populated and on top of that they

Like at one point ruled half of the world

Anyway the flag

the flag is a vertical tricolour with two red bands on each side with the blue in the middle on the left band lies the

Soyo mole symbol we'll get to this in a bit blue stripe symbolizes the eternal blue sky

whereas the red stripe stand for the nation's eternal thriving the so yomo symbol is a

Geometric image arranged in a column that represents the elements of significance to the nation the fire

symbolizes growth health and success as well as the past present and future the Sun and Moon symbolized the Mongolian nation existing into eternity the

Two triangles alluding to the points of an arrow or spear pointing downwards to indicate the defeat of interior and exterior enemies two horizontal

Rectangles symbolizing honesty justice and the people of Mongolia the Taiji symbol more commonly yin-yang

Illustrates the complementarianism of men and woman and finally the two vertical rectangles imitating the walls of a fort

Representing unity and strength keep in mind prior to this flag

They had the Socialist Republic flag before they switched over to a liberal democracy

And also the SOI elbow is kind of like a pan

Mangal symbol that applies to all Mongols across different regions in the world not just in Mongolia

You could see it on the booty at Republic of Russia's flag or the Augean Borya okrug flag

And they also had a bunch of other flags in the past especially during war times of the 20th century

It kind of changed up a lot of stuff

but the one thing that just kind of always stuck was the soy elbow symbol and with that being said now we move on to

the emblem the image contains a disc surrounded by a tomb in nasaan pattern which stands for

Eternity all around a blue field representing the sky on top lies the cintamani which are the three Buddhist jewels

Which in Mongolian folklore grants wishes below the emblem is a green mountain range

indicative of the natural landscape on top is the wheel of Dharma

Again, another Buddhist symbol draped by a haddad or traditional scarf finally in the center

We reached the wind horse, which is a symbol of the human soul in shamanistic tradition

and it also appears in Buddhist folklore in the center of the horse lies two soy mo symbol once again marking the identity of the

Mongolian people and also keep in mind in the past. They also had a bunch of other different emblems

Some of them were drastically different especially the ones during the Socialist Republic years

but overall the one thing that just kind of stuck out again was the soy mo symbol so if you're gonna take anything away from

This episode this toy Yan PO is like just the most important symbol for Mongolia, I guess

All right, so that's just about it. And that means you know what time it is it's time for geography mail time
