10 Amazing Facts About Genghis Khan ( Some of these facts have nothing to do with China )
For example
2) Genghis Khan may have been a Caucasian. ( COMPLETELY FALSE )
It says crap like ....There is evidence in historical records that he and his children were Caucasians. An ancient historian named Rashid Al-din recorded that Genghis had red hair and green eyes.
Completely false
Historically Rashid Al-Din never met Genghis Khan and was born only in 1247 where as Genghis Khan died in 1227. Also his portrait which is comissioned by Kublai Khan, his grandson who had seen him till up to 13 years shows he was typical East Asian in appearance
PROVE THAT GENGHIS KHAN WAS EAST ASIAN FACIALLY AND PHYSICALLY.
According to Herbert Allen Giles, a painter known as Ho-li-hosun (also known as Khorisun or Qooriqosun ) was a Mongol commissioned by Kublai Khan in 1278 to paint the portrait of Genghis Khan (National Palace Museam portrait).[138] Under Kublai Khan supervision, he ordered Khorisun along with the other entrusted remaining followers of Genghis Khan to make sure that the portrait of Genghis Khan reflected his true image.[139]
The only individuals to have recorded Genghis Khan's physical appearance during his lifetime were the Persian chronicler Minja al Siraj Juzjani and Chinese diplomat Zhao Hong.[140] Minhaj al-Siraj described Genghis Khan as "a man of tall stature, of vigorous built, robust in body, the hair of his face scanty and turned white, with cats’ eyes, possessed of dedicated energy, discernment, genius, and understanding, awe-striking...".[141] The chronicler had also previously commented on Genghis Khan's height, powerful build, with cat's eyes and lack of grey hair, based on the evidence of eyes witnesses in 1220, which saw Genghis Khan fighting in the Khorasan (modern day northwest Persia).[142][143] According to Paul Ratchnevsky, Zhao Hong, a Song dynasty envoy who visited the Mongols in 1221,[144] described Genghis Khan as "of tall and majestic stature, his brow is broad and his beard is long".[142]
( NO MENTION OF BLUE EYES, RED HAIR )
Other descriptions of Genghis Khan come from 14th century texts. The Persian historian Rashid-al-Din in Jami' al-tawarikh, written in the beginning of the 14th century, stated that most Borjigin ancestors of Genghis Khan were "tall, long-bearded, red-haired, and bluish green-eyed," features which Genghis Khan himself had. The factual nature of this statement is considered controversial.[135] In the Georgian Chronicles, in a passage written in the 14th century, Genghis Khan is similarly described as a large, good-looking man, with red hair.[145] However, according to John Andrew Boyle, Rashid al-Din's text of red hair referred to ruddy skin complexion, and that Genghis Khan was of ruddy complexion like most of his children except for Kublai Khan who was swarthy. He translated the text as “It chanced that he was born 2 months before Möge, and when Chingiz-Khan’s eye fell upon him he said: “all our children are of a ruddy complexion, but this child is swarthy like his maternal uncles. Tell Sorqoqtani Beki to give him to a good nurse to be reared”.[146] 14th century Arabic historian Shihab al-Umari also disputed Rashid al-Din's translation and claimed Alan Gua falsified the origin of her clan.[147] Some Historians such as Denise Aigle claimed that Rashid al-Din mythicized the origin of Genghis Khan ancestors (the Borjigin clan) through his own interpretations of The Secret History of the Mongols. Italian historian Igor de Rachewiltz claimed that the Mongol origins of the early ancestors of Genghis Khan were animals born from the blue eye wolf (Borte Chino) and the fallow doe (Qo'ai Maral) that was described in the early legends, that their ancestors were animals.[148] "
Even if he had red hair and green eyes/blue eyes he still would have looked like this which exist in in Mongolian and Central Asian Turks ( including Miao, Hmong )
This portrait was comissioned by Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan was alive together for 13 years. He would have know how he looked like
