Our PEACH Kids

Preparing our children to be the next world conqueror, we took a few of our home school children to the Irving Arts Center, to tour the Genghis Khan: The Exhibition. It is the largest collection of Khan Artifacts to leave Mongolia.

In preparation for the visit the kids and I watched several Genghis Khan History channel videos; completed the study guides; we watched Genghis Khan cartoons, I even found YouTube videos of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (with Genghis Khan); and to round out their Khan repertoire we YouTubed a little Star Trek: the Wrath of Khan!

The tour took approximately 2 hours to view the more than 12,000 square feet of exhibit space. More than 200 artifacts including gold jewelry, weaponry, silk robes, currency, tomb treasures and more are displayed alongside video-screens, hands-on activity stations and role-playing kiosks following the life of a poor, illiterate child as he becomes one of the world’s greatest conquerors and leaves a lasting imprint on modern-day culture.

John Wayne is
Genghis Khan

If you feel that you can't get enough Genghis Khan, then I would suggest one more resource, 'The Conqueror'. This is the 1956 epic movie starring none other than John Wayne as Genghis Khan. It is a movie that even Netflix doesn't carry. We found it on eBay.


One of the interesting things we learned was that Genghis Khan's real name was Temujin. We did a little digging to make sure we were pronouncing it correctly. Someone in our house pointed out that his real name rhymed with 'SlimJim' thus we can now pronouce TimJin. Homeschooling, gotta' love it!
.

in all things we are
more than conquerors
through him who loved us.
