Genghis Khan married his wife when he was 16 and together they had four kids.
Today, geneticists estimate that 16 million men in Asia (that’s 1 out of every 200) are direct descendants of Khan.
Now, I’m not saying Khan cheated on his wife or anything. After all, I wasn’t there.
But Khan is on the historical record claiming that his absolute favorite thing in the world, aside from murdering his enemies and stealing their horses, was to rape their wives and daughters.
And considering he conquered all of Asia and half of Europe, it’s safe to say that’s a lot of wives and daughters.
I mean, historians estimate that he was responsible for over 40 million deaths. That was 11% of the world population back then. Genocide is hard and stressful work. So yeah, if he wanted to sneak a little (forced) nookie in on the side, who was going to stop him? 1
