I want to respond to the many posts about the ethnicity of the Great Khan. For the record, many of those who are having a hissy fit over him being presented as a caucasiod are doing so out of ignorance. Arab chroniclers described him in great detail: red hair, fairly large (6 footish), green eyes and fair skin. The same goes for Tamerlane (Timur the Lame) more or less. There are several books that describe this. And his hordes weren’t all Asiatics because many were descendants of the Sarmatians and even earlier the Scythians who were the first horse culture in basically the same region. They were blondes and dressed much like the later Germanic tribes as did the Sarmatians and a recent discovery in western China - the Tocharians (blondes & Nordic, Germanic-Celtic weaving/clothing, quite tall) - more commonly referred too as the ‘Tarim Basin Mummies’. Both PBS and Discovery have DVDs and VHS tapes on this discovery as does the Journal of Indo-European Studies covers it.

The DVD was all right. I’ve seen better.
So, okay — having Mongols depicted by actors who could have been anything from Hispanic to Caucasian and certainly not “authentic” Asians is relatively horrible, considering there cannot be a dearth of Asian/Asian-American actors who could have portrayed Genghis (or JENgis, as several of the historical experts were calling him in the program) far more realistically.
Still, the History Channel did a commendable job of exploring the histories of the Vikings, Huns, Mongols, and Goths in this program. While I cannot verify whether all the information provided is completely accurate, I doubt there are as many hugely glaring errors as other critics would make one believe.

My only disappointment is that there were still unanswered questions about several things after having watched this series. The name HUN — is it related to the HAN dynasty of China that drove them westward…? And what’s the difference between an Ostrogoth and a Visigoth — geography alone, or more?
How did Kublai Kahn fit into the blood-drenched history of the Mongols?
Finally, I would have liked seeing even a little coverage of other barbarous European tribes such as the Vandals, Gauls, Picts, Angles, Saxons, and Burgundians.
At the end of the day “Barbarians” presents a decent documentary on a subject heretofore not covered and I found it largely enjoyable and educational.
