The most beautiful and mind-blowing travelogue I've ever seen. Tim Cope's solo journey across the steppes from Mongolia to Hungary, recreating the journey of Genghis Khan and his soldiers, with 3 horses and a dog for company, a journey that lasted three and a half years. Stunning landscapes, and encounters with the most amazing people, making all the unimaginable hardships more than worthwhile. Above all, a great history lesson, and a lesson in being human.
6 stunning videos of 26 mins each. I couldn't stop.
"From the former Mongol capital Karakorum to the Danube, young Australian adventurer Tim Cope retraced the path of the first nomads and followed the route taken by legendary Genghis Khan as he forged his great empire. Over three and a half gruelling years, and guided by an old Kazakh wisdom - "to understand the wolf, you must put on the skin of a wolf and look through its eyes" - Tim lived just as the ancient nomads did.
Tim travelled 10,000kms alone on horseback across the Eurasian steppe through Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and Hungary..."
