the Khan

I sat in front of the tv to find myself mesmerized with the story of the Khan - this is not the bollywood khans or some random Khans that you know of. This man controlled an empire larger than the romans, larger than Alexander the Great, and commanded one of the most feared and loathed army in the world. I am talking about Genghis Khan.

it turns out that the Khan was much ahead of his time in terms of military strategy. After all, it started as a horde of Mongolian nomads. He unified all the rival tribes under one rule and consolidated Mongolian empire before starting off a long journey of conquests. Even the most powerful empires like China got defeated in the heat of the battle with the Khan. And then Persia, and then Russia, Poland, Germany.

Another remarkable fact in history stands that any city that the Khan conquered, he would kill all the men, and rape the women. It turns out that he raped so many women, there are more than 16 million direct descendents to the Khan !!. One in 200 in Asia and Europe have the y chromosome that match. Since the tomb of the Khan is a great secret held in history, we would never know the Khan's DNA, but it is unanimously believed that no one else but the Khan could have such a 'wide spread' hereditery impact.
