0:00.0	The History of the World Podcast, written and presented by Chris Hasler. Volume 4, The Medieval World.
0:24.0	Episode 69, the profile of Chingis-Con, Part 1. one. It is my pleasure to bring you the podcast episode on Chengis Khan, the man who created
0:59.8	one of the greatest global empires that ever existed. He is popular in modern imagination
1:06.0	as he came from the mysterious Mongolic people of the Eastern Step and he is impressive due to
1:12.1	his ability to terrorize nations that had developed technological

3:07.0	Isege would attempt to cement his place as the viable ruler of his clan by creating his own branch of the dynasty
3:16.4	and he would do this by capturing a woman called Ullen from a tribal confederation called the Merkids.
