Very good shot of a not very nice man.
Had he bothered to continue into Europe the world may have been a different place!
It must be very hard to take the "warrior" out of him because I think I still see it. A most interesting sculpture.
I'm not sure about that horse. It looks more like a character from a video game ...
nice article...

beautiful sculpture ! :)
A great sculpture and even better message. Khan may be the original "Western Liberal Thinker," by our definition. Anybody who thinks he was just a barbarian invader (@Adullamite?) should read this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genghis-Khan-Making-Modern-World/dp/0609809644/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1355720248&sr=1-2
An amazing mind and and amazing human being.
This is on my list for my next visit. Convenient location, too.
I would too. Formidable.
Next time I'm passing by Marble Arch I'll definitely look out for this sculpture. It is highly distinctive!
