!christians imagine if the Mongols had converted to Orthodoxy and proclaimed that they were the successors to the Byzantines before the Turks did, the Holy Mongol Empire and its East Asian Orthodox successors would have been so dope
Dude killed enough people to bring about an age of global cooling. All of the witnesses to his funeral procession were killed. When he conquered a place, all the men and boys taller than a wagon-wheel were put to death. The women, girls, and young boy-children were enslaved.
His was not a worldview based upon any kind of first-principles other than power dynamics. There was a hierarchy, and he was gonna be the top of it.
The reality is that if the Byzantines would have ever successfully defeated the Sassanids we would pretty much have had that. Most Turkmen would have become Christian's and Islam would have been more of a Semitic religion

Note to !historychads, I am aware that plenty of Mongol tribes themselves practiced Nestorian Christianity, I am talking about the entire leadership of the Empire converting to Christianity, like how the Turks converted to Islam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_among_the_Mongols

The Mongol Empire was so large that Genghis Khan didn't really care what religion you were.
