More Remarks on the Death of Jebe Noyan

In support of our previous video on the Kalka River Battle, wherein we noted a possibility for Mongol General Jebe's death shortly before it, here are just a few more remarks and why we're certain that even if Jebe didn't die before that battle, he was certainly dead before Subutai returned to Chinggis Khan in Mongolia.

One thing I forgot to mention here: sometimes it is said that Jebe died near the Tarbaghatai mountains (west of the Altai) on the return. Doesn't change that he died on the return, and I am not sure what the source for that information is either. I won't dismiss it though, until I can see if I can track more down on that.
