Arguing that Chinggis Khan wasn't a Mongolian is just about as brainless as it gets. The Genealogy of Genghis Khan, and for that matter, the entire Borjigin clan, is exceptionally well documented and is almost exclusively of Central/East Asian descent. Western lineage wasn't present in the bloodline until the lines of the Khans of the Golden Horde and Ilkhanate, several generations after Chinggis.

    The Scythians are the reason why Red hair still can occur in Central Asia, Scythians descend from a eastward migration of Indo Europeans from Central Europe back into the Eurasian steppes where they formed the Sintashta culture, naturally, European features like red hair were brought with them, and are widely recorded amongst the Scythians, but due to mass levels of Mongolian and Turkish settlement in Central Asia, these features are now very uncommon, but if they still do occur despite this, as the video states, that is astounding.

      Chinggis khan’s clan name “Borjigin” was mistranslated from medieval Persian to Slavic. In Mongolian, core of the word “Borjigin” is “Buri” which means Wolf. Persians didn’t translate word Borjigin to Persian and wrote in their historical texts as it is. In Medieval Persian “Borjigin” means blue tinted brown. Slavic and Germanic chroniclers in the other hand translated from Persian word to their own as “Blue eyed”. Compared to Persians and Chinese those from Europe haven’t seen Chinggis khan in his lifetime and all of their historical chronicles and texts are translations from Persian historical texts. Those who read the translated version about Chinggis khan got an assumption that Chinggis khan was blue eyed European who maybe even had red hair. So simple translation error and wrong assumption made people believe that he had blue eyes and red hair.

      Oh and I highly doubt any of them would be concerned about 'white history' when 'white history' nor 'black history' or whatever history exists. I mean what would we call Asian history? Yellow history? That terminology is based on our views portrayed through racism.
      Irish culture exist, German culture exists etc. White culture does not. To call it white culture just oozes being uninformed or lost in loose nonsensical terminology. That's why you link caucasian to 'white' when there are multiple non 'white' colored caucasoid groups.

      @John Smith Ok, red hair is probably a feature that originated in northern Europe, but, - including my own siblings and i, that share the same biological parents - there are many people of ' mixed races ' that can vary DRAMATICALLY, from hair color, eye color, skin color etc. Even if they have the same genetic parents. In the same way, it can be argued that, if Genghis Khan truly had red hair and white features, that would not necessarily make him of the white race. Question: If my own skin tone is semi brown and I have an older sister that can easily pass as Asian, also 2 sisters and one brother that have light hair and eyes and also very pale white skin. Even though we share the same biological - genetic parents; Is my older sister to be considered Asian and my other 3 siblings of the white race?

    Another important thing to note, and I'm surprised Kings & Generals hasn't gone over, is how color is tied to vocabulary; and often in historical sources, due to a lack of vocabulary for complex colors, blue and black are considered the same 'color', while brown (including darker shades) is almost always referred to as simply red. Someone with brown hair that was very dark (but still brown in hue) would be considered red haired. Someone with black eyes, from the perspective of an ancient writer, would refer to them as blue eyed. Because of this, there's many misconceptions that many Mediterranean peoples of the ancient world were red-haired and blue-eyed individuals, when they were more likely just people with black eyes and brown hair.

For example, back then you didn't have colors like "eggshell white, teal, cobalt" etc. Colors were very simple. Like how some people refer to all shades of blue as simply "blue" are less able to pick up on the nuance between two different blues; people back then did not distinguish shades of blue from black. A modern example of this, is how Russia & Eastern European cultures commonly distinguish Cyan from Blue, and can statistically very easily distinguish the two colors; while people in Western Europe and the United States cannot.

Yet a few fake clickbait website manage to fake the interpretation like it was real because the person replaced the bottom half with blue eyes, brown-red hair from the misinterpreted from 14th century Persian historian who did not even say he had red hair or blue eyes, or long beard. The Persian historian Juzani and Zhao Hong Song dynasty diplomat only said he was tall but Persian historian, sparse while Zhao Hong said his was long (maybe for Chinese standard ) said his beard was little. The 14th century historian Persian-Jewish historian never met him.

Slavic and Germanic chroniclers in the other hand translated from Persian word to their own as “Blue eyed”. Compared to Persians and Chinese those from Europe haven’t seen Chinggis khan in his lifetime and all of their historical chronicles and texts are translations from Persian historical texts. Those who read the translated version about Chinggis khan got an assumption that Chinggis khan was blue eyed European who maybe even had red hair.

But, In northeast China , there are people who has blond /red/ purple /brown hair and cloureful eyes, but they do not have high nose, they just like Chinese, they lived in this land for thousands years. So the conclusion is the hair and eye colour can not define the race. In lots of Chinese history books, those people with purple beard, with red mostache, or blonde hiar, colourful eyes are also playing a role in Chinese history, The Dongwu dynansty king Sunquan(220AD) he is a people with purple beard and eye, it is clearly mentioned in books. And there are Jurchen people(2000 years ago) have Chinese face but with blonde hairs, till now you still can find Chinese people with blonde hairs, pure blonde hairs.

Basically the exact origin is unknown but the eye colour theory seems one of the more baseless and less plausible theories, having no origin beyond Rashid al-Din's claim and authors who copied his account.

    Temujin (Genghis Khan) was not Mongolia. Fudan University nankai University many universities genetic engineering 🧬 research. Tiemuzhen gene is the Han gene of Yellow River and Yangtze River. Han =Kan was completely different from other Mongol tribes. In the 13th century, the Han and Tang dynasties were in chaos. Genghis Khan's family went into exile in Mobei. After Temuzhen was born and grew up, he conquered all the small tribes in Mobei in the name of the Han people and named it --Mongolia…

      Um no. The Udmurt people and have the highest red hair in the world and their paternal is haplogroup N but they also have 12-27% east asian dna . Most likely it';s their mtDNA H,I because other haplogroup N ethnic group have little to no red hair.
