@ninO_17.: The new anime "Tenmaku no Jaadugar" and the real story of the Khorezm War (Is it a historical distortion or a beautiful story?) Hello, history buffs. I was very upset after watching the first episodes of the recently released anime "Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia" (Tenmaku no Jaadugar), which tells the story of the Mongol Empire. In the anime, the Mongols are shown as barbarians who suddenly attacked the Khorezm (Sartuul) country and destroyed its cities and villages, and the main character, Fatima (Sitara), is portrayed as an innocent victim. I am really worried that foreign viewers will misunderstand the story and be fooled. Therefore, I thought I would remind you of the real historical truth within the framework of this topic and hold a discussion in the group. 1. We did not attack while we were idle (Otrar Massacre): In 1218, Genghis Khan sent more than 450 Muslim merchants with 500 camels as envoys to establish trade relations with the Khorezm state. However, the governor of Otrar, Inalchug, accused them of being "spies", brutally killed them all, and looted their cargo. Not only that, but Genghis Khan's subsequent envoys were insulted and some of them were beheaded, so the Mongols were forced to wage a "Just War of Revenge" against the country, violating international diplomatic law. 2. Who was the main character Fatima? (Is she a real witch?): Although Sitara is shown in the anime as a hero with great wisdom and who will destroy Mongolia, the real story, as recorded in the "Assembly of the Shashtir" by the Persian historian Rashid al-Din, is completely different. She was a foreign captive who gained the trust of Ögedei Khan's queen Torgene (Dörgene) and interfered in the affairs of the palace. Later, during the reign of Guyug Khan, she was accused of "killing Prince Khuden of the Golden Clan with magic and curses," and was executed by having all her wounds sewn up and drowned in the waters of the Boon River. This is the artistic method that the Japanese like to use to show great historical powers as "opponents" and their victims as heroes. Have you all seen this anime? What is your position on the fact that our history is being shown to the,
