Genghis Khan was White (Aryan)

Or if he was not pure white, he had mainly White-Aryan blood;


Genghis Khan's Blue Eyes and Red hair

The Mongol leader Temujin (AD 1167-1227), better known by his title Genghis Khan (Universal Ruler), was a man of strongly Nordish racial ancestry. According to the Persian historian Ab ul Ghasi, the tribal clan to which Temujin belonged, were known as the Bourchikoun (Grey-Eyed Men).

The ancestral mother and founder of this clan was known as Alan goa (beautiful Alan). According to the Mongol and Chinese legends on the subject, she was said to have been visited in her tent by a divine being, who possessed golden hair, a fair complexion and grey eyes. Shortly after this visitation, she gave birth to the first member of the Bourchikoun clan.

Temujin himself was noted in Chinese descriptions of him, for his tall stature and heavy beard.We should also note the following depiction of Temujin's appearance, as given by Harold Lamb, in his biography of the great Khan:

"He must have been tall, with high shoulders, his skin a whitish tan. His eyes, set far apart under a sloping forehead, did not slant. And his eyes were green, or blue-grey in the iris, with black pupils. Long reddish-brown hair fell in braids to his back."

Ab ul Ghasi also observed that the family of Yesukai, the father of Temujin, were known for the fact that their children often had fair complexions, and blue or grey eyes.

Temujin's wife, Bourtai, bore a name which means "Grey-Eyed".

That said, on this topic I got around to studying Buddhism last night and I'm certain Buddha was white... a descendant of the vedic Aryans in northern India.

You should have made a thread about him, it would be more plausible.

LOL this is like blacks claiming Hannibal was black and Europeans were uncivilized until he conquered all of them.

Here's the proof:

Using historical records is only valid to a degree (you must compare all of them, not just cherry pick a few), most of them tend to be filled with biased info, propaganda was a HUGE part of the mongol way of diplomacy..in short Chingiz Khan (correctly written with a C, not G) was a master at propaganda (Which was typical in warfare, even early people like the Assyrians used it when they waged war)...though he might have been pale skinned ect, he would have looked allot like his peers, whom today live in many places outside Mongolia also (China, Central Asia and Caucasus region among others), and whom are clearly typical North East asians, and not Western europeans...
