Every time you hear him say 'Chingus', that is Genghis Kahn. Just about everything in Mongolia still holds reverence for Genghis Kahn. This lasting impact is what happens when a society has a God Emperor.

We will not just have Trump 2020, but Trump Eternal.

I don't know much about Mongolia.

But I'm pretty sure they currently pronounce it like chingus kahan

sounds correct, may or may not be, I'd have to check the history of china podcast where he discusses the mongol invasions through the song perspective (guy's a commie but he does good china history, just don't look at his twitter)

Khagan is an alternative form, especially in Turkic usage.

This post spurred me back into listening to Tuvan throat singing. I was checking out Kongar-ol Ondar on Spotify.

His top song: Kongurey (Where Has My Country Gone?)

Indeed.

I used to play a huun huur tu cd really loud in my truck when I picked up my kids from school and stuff.

I convinced all their friends it was my favorite music. (It is cool stuff)

Many years later their friends still talk about it.

The stuff really jams if you got good subs.

Kongar-ol Ondar is the shit.

If you can, check out his appearances on Letterman. Dude was uncontainable.

Tuva had some fantastic stamps with yaks on. Followed the trail of "where is Tuva?" and wound up with a throat singing album. Maybe the same one. Never found anyone else who knew about it. Only here on TDW. .. shoulda known cuz it's family... Pepe would understand
