[muawiyah]

The Mongol Empire was given to shipping people hither and yon ~ but to get green eyes you have to have the gene(s) for red/yellow or brown/yellow pigment ~ (same kind, just a variation in expression) ~ and that means not only "white blood", but Celtic Fringe "white blood" ~ and you could get that delivered to you directly over the last 1,000 years, or kind of indirectly over the last 4,000 years via the Silk Road.

Chinese appear to be the only ones ever surprised to find that there's a Scotsman in the Woodpile eh!

[Psalm 144]

The Chinese describe various groups of Hsiung Nu horse nomads in similar terms: the Yellow Hairs, Green Eyes, etc. They were considered dangerous and untrustworthy barbarians, but then who wasn’t?

The Hsiung Nu were contemporary with the various “Scythian” peoples described by Herodotus, and the later Sarmatians and Alans. Large people with a martial culture. Intriguing similarities in animal style art as well, although that could as easily be due to trade as ethnicity.
