HISTORIAN CLAIMS THE CONQUEROR WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME
Most famous historians describe Genghis Khan as being a ruthless conqueror and murderer of millions. However, there are some people who believe the contrary. Meet Harvey. Harvey is a part-time historian, part-time unicyclist. Recently, he wrote an essay on the benefits that would’ve resulted on the ecosystem if Genghis Khan would have ruled the Earth today.
” You see, Genghis Khan and the Mongols were nomads. That means they moved from place to place in order to find new resources while the used ones would have the time to regenerate during their absence. In this sense, they were way better than the sedentary people of, say, China, who had to take all of the resources around until there was no more. “
Harvey also told us about the many ecological advantages nomadism had over sedentarism. ” You see, when the nomads would do their thing… I mean… When they would produce feces, well they would do it and some days later they would leave the place for some other area. While they were gone, the shits would disintegrate with the help of various factors including the elements and insects. Insects love shit, you know it. Well they would feast on that shit as if it was the greatest meal, the meal of the Gods themselves, and they would eat it all. When the Mongols would come back, the shits would be gone and they could put shit once again in that area and the process would repeat itself every time. Sedentary civilizations however, they can’t move and they can’t destroy the shits without getting shit all over themselves so they invented the sewers. But with the sewers, you needed water. That water, the Mongols didn’t need it for their shits you know… And all of the water being used in the sewers, of course, is being polluted I mean with shits floating in it it’s pretty obvious. “
