Genghis Khan
Is he the GOAT alpha male in human history?
-Started from the bottom
-Ended up taking over a huge part of Eurasia
-Banged so many women that he makes Wilt look like a virgin
Only con was that the dude was nuts and destroying the House of Wisdom and thus Arab science
Is there anyone who can stake a claim?

Re: Genghis Khan
he tops the GOAT human list IMO.
1/16th of Asians today are directly related to him. Sometimes I've heard that statistic as high as 1/8.
He's the best IMO because he started out in a ruthless backwater horse shaman culture where everyone backstabbed and killed eachother. He united all the Mongol tribes who had been warring and infighting for thousands of years, and from there he used them to take over the world. Truly a story of a man coming from nothing and taking everything.
My favorite story is how he wiped out an entire civilization and had them written out of history just because they killed one of his messengers. That's where the phrase "Don't shoot the messenger" comes from. That's like some Darth Vader destroying Alderaan level shit, only it happened in real life.
GOAT HUMAN.

If I could meet anyone from human history he'd easily be one of them.

5'8 was like 7'2 in the 1100s

Now back to the question. He sure makes a strong case for it. Dude was ****ing up empires and had real military strategies that are still used today. Alexander the Great makes a case too but I am pretty sure he was a homo. So yeah khan is the GOAT manly man. He spread his seed so much that a considerably large amount of people in the Mandarin speaking areas still carry his DNA. Dude was a beast.
Yep, pretty crazy if you think about it.
Before Genghis Khan: Middle East was a place full of intellectuals and some of the brightest, secular thinkers in the World
After Genghis Khan: Absolute shithole, all their research and notes destroyed, hasn't recovered since

Stalin, on the other hand, was pretty damn alpha. Can't lie

Hitler was a great leader though, and taking on the whole of Europe?

This entire Genghis Khan destroyed the Arab world and science is such nonsense.
First of all, the sacking of Baghdad happened 30 years after Genghis Khan's death. That was Hellegu Khan, not Genghis.
More importantly science in the Islamic world experienced a revolution during the mid 700s and peaked during the 800s. By the time the Mongols reared their heads it's 300-400 years later. The Abbasid caliphate was on it's last legs, largely usurped by feuding tribes that didn't give a shit about science and the Abbasids had mostly stopped giving a shit too. Sure there was a nice library, but Baghdad certainly was not a thriving scientific place full of intellectuals during it's sacking.

Re: Genghis Khan
His stats are just a product of his era. A modern Seal Team 6 could easily wipe out the entire Mongolian Army.
