The second to last of the Plantagenet kings (England) is said to have at least 10 million descendants in the US alone. IOW, I think this is a bit overblown (so to speak).

The final piece of evidence came from the Hazara, a hill tribe in Pakistan who

Aren't the Hazaras from central Afghanistan?

Finding Genghis Khan's tomb, one of the great secrets of all time, could provide the definitive evidence, leading to a direct comparison of Genghis' Y chromosome with those of modern men.

Maybe NOT such a good idea. Tamerlane, another Mongol conqueror had a known curse on his tomb in Samarkand where Uzbekistan is today located. Here was the inscribed curse: "Whoever disturbs My tomb will have their home invaded by an even greater monster than I."

Well, back when Uzbekistan was a Soviet Republic, the communists scoffed at such "silly" curses. Even though the locals respected this curse of Tamerlane, the communists went ahead and opened his tomb. The date---June 22, 1941. And a few hours after the tomb was opened word came that the Nazis has invaded Russia that very day.

Interesting post. Has there been any new finds revealed?

He is not as widely recognized as Alexander the Great. Yet it appears Genghis excelled; and did out perform Alexander.
