Now that the Cold War is over, Genghis Khan’s role as the father of Mongolia is once again being celebrated. Under Soviet rule, Mongols couldn’t even utter Khan’s name aloud. Now, but, the Mongolian people can visit the ruler’s recently learned tomb. So many related products have appeared in recent years that the Mongolian government is considering copyrighting “Genghis Khan” to protect the integrity of Khan’s name.

This resurgence in popularity has also made some people reconsider Genghis Khan. Was he a bloodthirsty heathen, or a honest and just statesman? Although his reign left behind no tangible artifacts — like architecture or art — does Khan’s role as champion of diplomacy, religious tolerance and equal rights for women serve as legacy enough? And what of the incredible bloody legends that surround Genghis Khan?

Perhaps no other historical figure has as much death directly attributed to him than Genghis Khan. A quick glance at the many lists of his supposed deeds yields a recurring and startling attribution: Genghis Khan is said to have once killed 1,748,000 people in a single hour.

While Khan inarguably killed his honest share of people, it’s impossible that he — or anyone else — personally ever took as many lives in such a small time. For Khan to have killed that many people in an hour, he would have had to take 29,133 lives per minute.

It’s clear this isn’t possible, but what’s the tale behind this incredible, although untrue, legend? And why such an oddly specific number? Find out in the next section.

There aren’t many people on Earth who can be considered right geniuses. It’s these people who see the universe for what it is — and what it can be. They manage to use both hemispheres of their brains to innovate, make and spark insights that last for centuries. Geniuses are valued because they’re the ones who push human progress in fantastic and sudden bursts. Without geniuses, we’d likely still be living in caves. If you reckon you’re a genius now, we bet you won’t when you end this quiz.
