Editing Jebe (section)

== Death ==
Jebe had made a legendary raid around the [[Caspian Sea]] where he and [[Subutai]] defeated the [[Georgians]], who were set to join the [[Fifth Crusade]], as well as the [[Caucasus]] Steppe tribes.<ref>Hautala, "Latin Sources’ Information about the Mongols," 8.</ref> He then later went on to defeat the [[Kievan Rus']] and [[Cumans]] at the [[Battle of the Kalka River]].<ref name="auto"/> This battle preceded the conquest of [[Kievan Rus']] and he likely died on his return from the conquests of the Kievan Rus' in approximately 1224.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/元史/卷120#曷思麥里 | title=元史/卷120 - 维基文库，自由的图书馆 }}</ref> The circumstances surrounding his disappearance and death are mysterious. One scholar, Stephen Pow suggests that Jebe may have been killed by the Russian allied [[Kipchaks]] forces near a [[kurgan]] close to [[Khortytsia|Khortytsia Island]].{{sfn|Pow|2017|p=49}} The discrepancy behind this information may be a result of [[Linguistics|linguistic]] errors since the [[Turkic languages|Turkic]]-speaking Kipchaks referred to Jebe as Gemya-Beg.{{sfn|Pow|2017|p=41}} But Russian scholars D.M. Timokhin and V.V. Tishin questioned his views; they believe that the version of Stephen Pow is not proven on the basis of written sources and has absolutely no linguistic evidence.<ref>Timokhin D.M., Tishin V.V.
