1 " The great conqueror, Jenghiz Khan, the son of sad, stern, severe Mongolia,according to an old Mongolian legend "mounted to the top of Karasu Togol andwith his eyes of an eagle looked to the west and the east. In the west he sawwhole seas of human blood over which floated a bloody fog that blanketed all the horizon. There he could not discern his fate. But the gods ordered him to proceedto the west, leading with him all his warriors and Mongolian tribes. To the east hesaw wealthy towns, shining temples, crowds of happy people, gardens and fieldsof rich earth, all of which pleased the great Mongol. He said to his sons: 'There inthe west I shall be fire and sword, destroyer, avenging Fate; in the east I shallcome as the merciful, great builder, bringing happiness to the people and to theland.'".
