also relates to understanding why the steppe tribes were so devesting when they hit the Roman, Byzantine, Islamic empires. Also gives a more respect when I watch 'The Searchers' for the 1000x time.

All the ways of survival throughout the millinia, so much lost, so much forgotten, SO WHAT. WAKE UP WITH THE FATHER THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST, INVITE THEM TO SPEND THE DAY WITH YOU, EVERY DAY. AMEN
The mongols had them beat . They were riding horses and shooting bows on horseback long before them , and to this day …had the biggest land empire the world has ever seen ….while the commanche was still on foot , and chippig stone . Remember " If Genghis Kahn , so Khan you "
