a random thought
it is speculated that genghis khan's male descendants could number up to 16 million.
sixteen million males. that, to put it mildly, is startling. he is definitely the alpha male of alpha males. as i digested that number, my imagination exploded.
imagine this - a family reunion. let's just take half his lineage, 8 million families. from all across the earth coming together. yes families. imagine how dramatic it would be to make a movie about 8 million families travelling back to mongolia for a large gathering. it would be a mini mass migration across lands. it would be like mountains moving together.
imagine the reunion took place before we had modern transportation - and they had to travel on foot, on ship, on horses, on camels, on caravans across the vast lands of central asia. dramatic.
staggering. i can't even begin to fathom 16 million families.
i wonder if his blood is in me.

Ah moi , when u say descendants ah?
does it include
son(s) , grandson(s), great grandson(s), great great grandson(s),etc......
coz if like that , mite as well u go for adam la
he has the most
imagine his la
sheesh.
Compare within a 3 generation after his or anyone.
Coz otherwise u can always choose genghis khan's great grandfather n say wow , can u imagine his great grandfather , he has 16 million and 3 descendants. 3 more than genghis la ( genghis grandfather genghis father and genghis himself included)

but genghis khan was the one who went around spreading his seeds while conquering lands, not his grandfather or father.
adam was the first, you can't take his to compare. genghis khan actually travelled around and did his deeds. he wasn't the first (like adam) and that's what makes it staggering.
