Genghis Khan is [MAN]
It is without a doubt that Genghis Khan is the greatest individual in the history of this earth. Ever. He was the leader of the largest land based empire ever established, which was far greater than any industrialized nation would ever hope to accomplish later on in the 19th and 20th century. His military might terrified villagers so much that they fled their villages without putting up a fight, giving Genghis automatic victory in most occasions. Chinggis, as he is otherwise known, also united trade and commerce throughout central Asia and took control of the Silk roads. It is unquestionable that the efforts of this one man had significant and profound effects on the history of Asia. If men need further convincing of his tremendous feat of masculine dominance, it is also noteworthy to add that in his lifetime, he probably had as much as forty legitimate children in his lifetime, not counting the ones he had with women who were not his wife. He is the most prolific lover ever to have stepped foot on this Earth. If this evidence is not proof of his status as the greatest individual ever, I don’t know what will.
As a young child named Temüjin, he had faced many hardships and struggles. His father had died at an early age, and even his wife was kidnapped by an enemy tribe. But these struggles are probably what propelled this young charismatic and dynamic child to greatness. His first claim to fame and awesomeness took place when he united the dysfunctional tribes in central and east Asia into one cohesive and growing empire. No big deal. He formed alliances with his father’s acquaintances and fought off other hostile enemy tribes, most especially the Naimans who thought that they could overpower the young Mongolian juggernaut. They could not have been more foolish. Temüjin then proceeded to crush these silly folk and sent reverberating echoes across the land on who the main [MAN] in the land was. By now he had created Mongolia as the center for his empire but the new Khan was not happy with just staying still. He led his men against the Chin dynasty in the east, to Afghanistan and Persia in the West, and even as far as Eastern Europe (he was basically standingon Vienna’s doorstep). When he died in 1227, he had left his sons the largest empire ever established. It is completely probably that the distance between the Earth and the Sun is probably ten times smaller than the area of the Mongolian Empire.
Not only is Genghis Khan the world-renowned symbol for military supremacy and excellence, his contributions to trade, communication, and (ironically) peace surpasses that of any other great individual. The Silk Road that had prospered in the times of Classical Rome and China, as well as with Islam, saw great use once again under Mongolian control. This then set the stage for a massive cultural exchange that would take place across the Asian land basin, all thanks to my [MAN] Genghis. Artwork, language, food, military techniques, and money was exchanged through the extensive use of these Roads. The leadership of Genghis had infused so many cultures together because even as he conquered much territory in his lifetime, he had let the peoples he ruled over maintain their culture and practices. Talk about awesomeness.
The most intriguing and spectacular part about Genghis Khan, however, lies in his proficiency in making love. According to National Geographic: “An international group of geneticists studying Y-chromosome data have found that nearly 8 percent of the men living in the region of the former Mongol empire carry y-chromosomes that are nearly identical [to Genghis]. That translates to 0.5 percent of the male population in the world, or roughly 16 million descendants living today.” Another study has concluded that in order for him to have this much descendants, he must have fathered a couple thousand children. Woah! His appetite for women was insatiable, proven by the fact that every woman prisoner gained through conquest was first sent to Genghis Khan. Even his sons inherited his talent for love-making. Research has also shown that his eldest son, Tushi, had forty sons. Woah! Whatever the case may be, it is obvious that the world’s most feared man is not only the greatest individual ever to have lived, but also the most engaged lover.
So why is Genghis Khan the greatest individual in history? Because no one would ever dare look him in the face and tell him he isn’t. Plain and simple.

Mr. Khan most definately is [MAN]. Your article clearly supports this. Your examples and facts are nice and relevant. Your blog would be a lot better, though, if you included some pictures. For example, a painting of Mr. Khan in all his brazen masculinity would draw in the readers attention. Some hyperlinks would also be nice.

Have to agree with Wooten on the hyperlinks, and overall links. However, it is still a very persuading blog, though one could argue the shortness of his “greatness”. The Yuan dynasty, and Temujin’s original empire, lasted only about 150 years. His influence, aside from his “gift” to his DNA carriers today, was short lived also, for the new Ming Emperor pretty much eradicated Mongol influence in his empire shortly after its founding.
Regardless, very witty, informational, and entertaining.

Great cartoon! Superb level of detail. You argue for his greatness well.
You still need some hyperlinks!
