That's all Chinggis Khan allowed to be written in blue books, only the law.

Nothing about him or campaigns or military, anything.

But Shigehutuk was his name.

Shigehutuk

realized that this was going to be lost, that this is a great historic thing that has happened.

So he compiled the work.

Part of it, I don't know, other people contributed, helped him, but it's a little bit unclear.

The Mongols, they don't specify.

They always tell you exactly where something happens.

So we know exactly where it happened in Mongolia.

You can still go to that spot where he wrote it.

That's very important to the Mongols.

And we also know it's the Year of the Mouse, so it was 1228.

Chinggis Khan had died in 27.

So he wrote down, it begins with what we would say are the myths.

I'm not sure they're myths, but the origins of the myths.

It begins with the marriage of a gray-blue wolf with a tawny deer.

Then some people say, well, that's some kind of myth.

It's totemic.

And Mongols will see.
