the death of the kings and emperors of greater China were “often mixed with myth.” .............................. LOL, I also see that coming here in the not too distant future. I can name 3 probables.
I always liked the story about the princess and a dagger. Think I’ll stick w/ it.
Truth bomb!
Talk about click-bait.
So did a signifigant chunk of the cast and crew due to cancer. They filmed it in an area normally used for nuclear bomb testing. Among those who died of cancer was Wayne himself.

Sounds a lot like “settled science”.
One John Wayne was a smoker he died from lung cancer two the movie wasn’t filmed at a nuclear test site it was supposedly filmed downwind of a nuclear test.
Entire article based on a wild speculation with the most scant and vague of evidentiary basis
Whatever creature bit him - rat, Wuhan bat, Pangolin - deserves a posthumous award for doing it.
Now if only they could bit Dictator Xi, I’d nominate them for the Nobel Pieces Prize.
You’re right on both counts. However in the cast and crew of “The Conqueror” (almost 400 people) 91 came down with various sorts of cancers, and 46 died. Statistically signifigant numbers and far higher than the general population.

The cause for Khan's death is still pure speculation. There is zero concrete evidence. All they are doing is pimping speculation that can be used to promote whatever leftist solutions for present day fictional problems.
Being highly educated, I can do the same thing as these "experts". There is evidence that Kahn's death was caused by ancient aliens. Kahn's fate "may hold lessons for the present-day leaders," as aliens threaten the leaders of our modern nations the same way as aliens got Khan.
See, I can do it too. And I have about the same amount of concrete evidence that those experts do. Perhaps they would be more productive members of society by digging ditches than creating fabricated fairy tales to push some leftist agenda.
Worst article ever! Propaganda mixed with nonsense. I’m sure many scholars Considered the plague before now. Article made it seem like they found his body. Nope.
I would have been glad I was not in the funeral possession!
FTA: after Genghis’ death he was “buried in secret.” His grieving army carried his body home, killing anyone they met “to hide the route.” Then, once the Khan’s body was finally laid to rest, 1,000 horses were marched over his grave to destroy any remaining traces. And then all of those horsemen were killed when they returned.
His heart stopped?
I am not convinced. None of the democrat politicians have died from the chinese virus. I bet they started gobbling down HCQ right away.
the artisans were sent back to Mongolia, young women and children were given to the Mongol soldiers as slaves, and the rest of the population was massacred. The Persian scholar Juvayni states that 50,000 Mongol soldiers were given the task of executing twenty-four Urgench citizens each, which would mean that 1.2 million people were killed. The sacking of Urgench is considered one of the bloodiest massacres in human history.
He didn't even BOTHER with Europe which, if he had so desired, Khan could have completely overrun.
What number would it have been if it normally reflected the general population? Perhaps in John Wayne’s case he would have fallen in that number due to his smoking.
I’m not certain what the number would be. But I would think 25% of a given population would be higher than the general population. And your point re John Wayne’s smoking is conceded.
