Temujin, later Genghis Khan, was born around 1162 near the border between modern Mongolia and Siberia. Legend holds that he came

into the world clutching a blood clot in his right hand. His mother had been kidnapped by his father and forced into marriage. At that time, dozens of nomadic tribes on the central Asian steppe were constantly fighting and stealing from each other, and life for Temujin was violent and unpredictable. Before he turned 10, his father was poisoned to death by an enemy clan. Temujin’s own clan then deserted him, his mother and his six siblings in order to avoid having to feed them. Shortly thereafter, Temujin killed his older half-brother and took over as head of the poverty-stricken household. At one point, he was captured and enslaved by the clan that had abandoned him, but he was eventually able to escape. In 1178 Temujin married Borte, with whom he would have four sons and an unknown number of daughters. He launched a daring rescue of Borte after she too was kidnapped, and he soon began making alliances, building a reputation as a warrior and attracting a growing number of followers. Most of what we know about Genghis Khan’s childhood comes from “The Secret History of the Mongols,” the oldest known work of Mongolian history and literature, which was written soon after his death.

Why would an interpretation of a historical event change over time? Check all that apply.
vlabodo [156]

New evidence is discovered & Oversights and errors are corrected

Thats what i personally think because new opinions have to be backed with evidence, while if a piece of evidence is lost or stolen, it doesn't change the arguments because even though it is lost or stolen, there ought to be copies of the original object, but im not sure about new technology being applied to evidence, but it can go either or, its a 50/50 because new technology can enhance historical discoveries, or find new ones, but applying new technology as evidence has to be backed up with facts as to why it should be applied
