Although monogamy was practiced in ancient China, there were still many bureaucrats who took wives and concubines, especially the royal family, so many people used it to describe the harem. Seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six hospitals are used to describe the number of concubines. In addition to brilliant achievements, Genghis Khan's life is also remarkable and amazing, and there are two things that have always made future generations curious and guess. How many wives does Genghis Khan have? How many descendants did Genghis Khan have?
According to historical records, Genghis Khan had as many as 500 concubines and 500 concubines. What is this concept? In other words, if there is a concubine every day for 365 days a year, it will take about one and a half years to finish the luck.
Worthy of being the founder of the Great Mongolian Empire, a stallion on the desert grassland. So is this statement about the 500 queens credible? In fact, as long as you look at Genghis Khan's resume, you may feel that this is not an exaggeration.
Genghis Khan, a man from the grassland, was wild by nature, so when the army didn't occupy a city, there would be a massacre. Subordinate soldiers not only plunder finance, but also plunder local beauties to worship Genghis Khan as a concubine or vent their desires. It can be seen that it is not impossible to record that Genghis Khan had 500 concubines in Historical Records.
Then Genghis Khan had many old people and, of course, many descendants. How many? The Institute of Human Genetics at Oxford University is solving this problem. A genetic test conducted by this institute in 2003 shows that there are nearly 654.38+06 million people in the world, and about 8% of Asians are descendants of Genghis Khan, continuing a complete and smooth paternal gene chain.
Sykes also pointed out that all the 6,543,806 male descendants belong to a paternal genetic chain originating from Genghis Khan, and the possible millions of female descendants have not been calculated, which means that the number of Genghis Khan descendants is far more than 6,543,806.
In fact, many people living in Central Asia today may have a direct or indirect relationship with Genghis Khan if they trace their genealogy.
At the beginning of last millennium (Genghis Khan lived to 1 162 to 1227), the world population was less than one twentieth of today's. At that time, every man now has an average of about 20 direct male descendants. However, there are about 6.5438+0.6 million direct descendants of Genghis Khan, which is equivalent to 800,000 times of the average.
According to historical records, Genghis Khan had six Mongolian wives and later married several princesses who were obedient to his country. During his reign, he won many trophies in southern operations, including land, food and women.
Sikes pointed out that Genghis Khan's territory crossed Mongolia to Afghanistan in the13rd century, and extended to Russia and Iran. With the approval of Genghis Khan, every time the Mongolian army captured a city, it would give the stolen beauty to Genghis Khan, so he had many hybrids, all of whom carried his chromosomes.
After Genghis Khan's death, his four sons and two grandchildren who have the right to inherit survived; Family tradition, they are not only brave and good at fighting, but also expand their power to Russia, Hungary and Poland. They also worked diligently to carry on the family line and spread Genghis Khan's chromosomes to Eurasia, so the Genghis Khan family became more and more huge.
In 2003, geneticists found that 8% men living near the former Inner Mongolia region had similar Y chromosomes. Researchers believe that the communicator of this chromosome can only be Khan at that time. Sikes also said that the Genghis Khan family is so huge that genes exist all over the world, and I am afraid that more than half of the people in the world have Genghis Khan's blood.
