Black Khan Visits the Ming Dynasty
Lost footage of the Black Khan of Mongolia visiting the Ming Dynasty for the first time in the year 1440
A grainy, sepia-toned video shows a Black man in ornate traditional-looking clothing seated at a crowded ceremonial gathering, with people in historical or theatrical costumes around him. The caption absurdly presents the scene as lost footage of the Black Khan of Mongolia visiting the Ming Dynasty in 1440, creating anachronistic pseudo-history through the mismatch between the modern-looking footage and the grand historical claim. The clip is set to dhasnic’s “Gasoline,” whose dark, energetic electronic mood makes the bizarre historical premise feel dramatically overblown and works as a reaction to an absurd or unbelievable situation.
