Genghis Khan: The Exhibition, which is a newly launched mega-display at Singapore's latest attraction, the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands, opens up the mind of a once great ruler, Genghis Khan.
The exhibition is the largest and the first ever seen outside Mongolia, with more than 200 rare treasures put together by leading Genghis Khan experts Dr. William Fitzhugh (the Smithsonian Institution), Dr. Morris Rossabi (Columbia University) and Dr William Honeychurch (Yale University), with Don Lessem, President of Exhibits Rex, Inc.
Enter the exhibition and be greeted by a replica of the Genghis Khan, one of a few life-like figurines who may raise the heckles of those who are easily spooked.
Be warned too, that the exhibition includes the mummified remains of a Mongolian aristocrat who was found naturally preserved with her clothes all intact.
This is a highlight of the exhibition that includes curved composite bows, ancient passports and felt-huts, all common-place during the period of Genghis Khan.
Known as a ruthless 13th-Century warlord, Genghis Khan managed to conquer parts of Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
Even with a fairly small army, the famous leader of Mongolia ruled a kingdom that stretched from Poland to the Korea for more than 150 years.
How the great Khan and his hordes of managed to achieve such a feat can be seen at the 1500 square meter exhibition at the ArtScience Museum which also features designated areas for children to play games or search for treasure at 'excavation pits'.
Although it was the 13th Century, the Mongols used innovation and ingenuity to conquer the world with just a bow and an arrow. But it was no ordinary weapon.
There was a special whistling arrow, that when shot with the bow was believed to have sent a high-pitched sound over great distances, creating fear within the enemy camp as the noise signaled the arrival of the invaders and gave the illusion of great strength and proximity.
The Mongolian warriors who were known for their ability to shoot while charging on horseback, also benefitted from using their unique bow that could shoot a normal arrow 300 meters further than those used by other fighters.
Visitors who get to witness weapons in action will understand the intelligent warfare of Genghis Khan along with siege strategies such as the trebuchet, with enhancements for distance, accuracy and power.
The exhibition that is on till 10 April also offers new insights into the great mind and cultural development by the man most dismissed as a barbarian.
Among the interesting artifacts on display is a bronzed-gold looking tablet or "Paiza".
This inventive artifact was only given to Mongol officials and envoys of Genghis Khan, for important mail, tax and travel purposes in and out of the country.
It was through Genghis Khan’s clever system of the "Paiza" that modern man has the passport of today.
What's even more amazing are the factual gems that can be unearthed at the exhibition, such as the nugget that at least one in 200 men on this earth, is a descendant of the Great Khan.
Considering that Genghis Khan had 500 wives and concubines, as well as first pick of the maidens in new territories, and the fact that Khan’s children and grandchildren favoured multiple wives, there's little room to doubt the findings based on modern scientific technology and DNA research.
Take a trip to see if you can find any traces of ancestry while wandering amid the “Gers” with authentic furnishings and music from Mongolian musicians who perform every day except Tuesdays.

Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim, saying the problems plaguing Malaysia were not dissimilar to those of Tunisia and Egypt, said there were also similarities between the wives of the deposed two rulers and their counterparts in Malaysia.
There is no prize for guessing who Anwar was referring to when he said the Malaysian administration, like the former rule of Tunisia's Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, was also under the thumb of its leader's wife.
Anwar, describing Ben Ali's wife Leila Trabelsi as someone widely detested by Tunisians, said the people's dislike of her surpassed their dislike of her husband.
"On television, it was always Ben Ali, and then Leila, then Ben Ali, then Leila, Leila, Leila. Today, she sports a certain hair-do, the next day with a bun on the other side, and with a different dress," said Anwar to burst of laughter from the audience during a dinner talk organised by a PKR division near here.
"People called her ‘Leila Majnun’, ‘Majnun’ means crazy. Crazy for wealth, crazy for looks and crazy for hair buns,” he went on, as quoted by online portal TV Selangor.
As for Egypt's Suzanne Mubarak, she had the same habits as Leila, said Anwar, saying the former beautician turned First Lady soon amassed wealth for her children and family at the expense of the people.
Anwar said at the end of their rule, both Mubarak and Ben Ali had stashed away billions of dollars worth of wealth robbed from their peoples.
He then advised prime minister Najib Razak to start carrying out reforms and not to have any illusion that events in North Africa would not take place here.
“A week after the revolt in Tunisia, Mubarak said Tunisia was not Egypt. Gaddafi in his speech two weeks ago, said Libya was not Egypt.

"Najib last week said this was Malaysia and not Egypt," said Anwar, adding however that the opposition in Malaysia still preferred to go through elections to bring about change.
"Let me warn Najib to ensure the next election is free and fair, if not the people will revolt,” reminded Anwar.

Here is Erin Wasson at the absolute rawest form of sexy in the latest of i-D Magazine. Not often you see a model at her level exposing the pussy for a shoot. I say its can only boost her career at this level however those tattoos can't be helping her career. But she is Anyway, Erin Wasson was photographed showing the full-frontal by Kayt Jones for i-D, pre-Spring 2011 issue. BTW, I love fashion magazines that always seem to find away to get chicks naked. Enjoy! Click on pictures to enlarge.
Don't leave your bathroom window open while you are naked and taking a shower! It is like an invitation if you do! I am just saying... Unless you are into putting on nude public shows and having it shared on the Internet. Because guys in the next door building or guys on the street will take pictures and/or video of your naked ass. And hairy pussy... It seems like some people never heard of curtains! I am not sure where these were taken but I would guess mainland China because I think we are seeing armpit hair on these chicks. Anyway, remember to send more interesting pictures and videos (of individuals 18 year-old or older) to GutterUncensored.comcontributor email address and leave comments/tips on the Facebook fan page.
