Brutal 13th-Century death pit from Russian 'city drowned in blood'...murdered by Mongols [tr]
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 6, 2019 | Peter Lloyd

A series of 'death pits' containing 300 bodies have been discovered in Russia.

The grisly site, which was found in the city of Yaroslavl, northeast of Moscow, likely dates back to the Mongol invasion of Europe in 1238.

During this time, Genghis Khan's grandson, Batu Khan, decimated entire communities in his brutal - and bloodthirsty - bid for power.

Now, thanks to scientific advances, DNA evidence has revealed that three of the victims were related and killed together: a grandmother, a mother and a grandson.

Another one behind the paywall I HIGHLY recommend is the series on the collapse of the Roman Republic. A great account of how republics turn into totalitarian states.

The key to their success was a numerous organized military while most of their opponents were early feudal meaning a sort of mafia with king as a godfather, barons for bosses and knights for the mobsters. Early feudals were good to run a protection racket against tradesmen and peasants or to protect their turf against other such mobs read kingdoms but they stood no chance against Mongols fielding organized armies or highly trained horsemen numbered in tens of thousand.

Interesting stuff Bubba... Ever wonder why totalitarian thugs all sound the same once they're in power?

Wish we could go back in time and find out what lies this little twerp had to say to get his power in the first place. Lies aside from being 'born to the manor' - born on third - thinking he hit a triple... (like half the fools living in DC today. Incompetent sons and grandsons of people who made it on merit...) I suspect those lies would sound the same across time too...

Oh, lets! We can tell the truth that it was Asiatic racism against whites at it’s worst.

Last I read Moscow sent tributes to Ghengis Khan so his armies passed south of moscow. but I could have read the story wrong or it could have been about a later mogol general Subatai.

Been reading about genetics and early migration and the people from Russian steps comes up at lot.

The internet says my German surname was originally from the Russian steps.

But when I search my Ukrainian Grandfather’s surname they are all Mongolians!
