Measuring against the linchpin was a method of determining which enemy civilians would be beheaded, used by the Mongols and other tribes that lived in the Mongolian plateau. Genghis Khan used this method against Jamukha's coalition of tribes in 1202. All male captives were forced to walk beside a wagon wheel. If their heads were higher than the linchpin (a pin inserted at the end of the axle) they were immediately executed. The wagon wheel was a large wheel used to transport yurts and other goods. This technique was probably used to preempt against revenge attacks that were common between tribes at this time. If one tribe were to attack another, there was always the possibility that there would be a revenge attack soon after. By eliminating the older males, there was less chance of a count

dbo:abstract
  • Medir la altura de una persona comparándola con la del el eje de una rueda de carro era un método utilizado por los mongoles y otras tribus que vivían en la meseta mongola para determinar qué civiles enemigos serían decapitados. Gengis Kan usó este método brutal contra la coalición de tribus de Jamukha en el año 1202. Todos los cautivos se vieron obligados a caminar al lado de una rueda de carreta. Si sus cabezas eran más altas que el eje (concretamente que el tope insertado en el extremo del eje) eran ejecutados inmediatamente. La del carro era una rueda grande usada para transportar yurtas y otros bienes. Esta técnica probablemente se usó para prevenir ataques de venganza, comunes entre las tribus en aquella época. Si una tribu ataca a otra, siempre existe la posibilidad de que haya un ataque de venganza poco después. Al eliminar a los hombres mayores, había menos posibilidades de un contraataque de las tribus que estaban en conflicto perpetuo debido a siglos de desconfianza y robo. (es)
