This is unbelievable

Legend has it that in 1227 Ghengis Khan’s dying wish was to keep his mighty empire intact. He dispatched his loyal aid, the totem tattooed warrior Hawk Head to find an identical looking man in Khan’s image to trick his enemies into thinking he was still alive, still emperor.

Most accounts describe Khan as tall and foreboding with awesome strength. The 14th century Persian chronicler Rashid al-Din, claimed Genghis was a fearsome warrior with a flowing mane of red hair, green eyes and a long beard. Al-Din’s account is questionable but these striking features were not unheard of among the ethnically diverse Mongols, especially those from Dundee. Notorious Scottish pirates often took mongol or asian wives.
