Genghis Khan according to Persian accounts

(Before anyone asks yes, mongolians can have red hair, as can many other asians).

Giv

Also Vivaldi when not wearing a wig.

One of his nicknames litterally meant "ginger priest" in Italian, a reference to his piety and devout roman catholicism.

I thought Alexander the Great was technically a redhead but there really conflicting accounts.

No, English, like many others, believe that Gingers have no soul. That is all.

I had no idea Cleopatra and Genghis Khan were both redheads, that's really cool.

Gingers are the best desu.

He may have also had green eyes, but the accounts of his appearance by Muslim authors were written a couple hundred of years after his death.

>Thomas Jefferson
But he wore wigs, and powdered his hair, as was the fashion of the time.

Where are you getting your history from? A comic book?

>>3072316
Vivaldi was an ordained priest though.

Do your own research perhaps. Red haired Mongols are already a well known subject.

George Washington
Thomas Jefferson

Willie Nelson

I think the only description of his eyes we have that was written during his life was that he had "cat's eyes". Interpret that however you want, most people assume it means he had green eyes.

Better now? Mongolians often show red hair, it's not something exclusive to europeans and not unusual amongst the northeastern asian populations, certainly rare but not too much, to the point that it isn't unlikely that genghis khan was a ginger as the persian accounts tell.

I heard Ramesses II through lots of intermarrying got red hair. Don't know if it's accurate.

That's correct, he also had a shitton of genetic conditions due that inbreeding, as did many other pharaohs (tuthankhamon being a prime example)

>>3073165
He actually had genetic links to Europe, like many pharaohs.

>>3072349
You believe anti-European bullshit. Fucking 10% of the U.K. is red headed. No, they didn't think redheads were witches.

>>3072454
That's true though, Mumammed was described as a redhead by all contemporary accounts.

>>3072545
how the fuck does that make any sense. Cat's eyes mean upturned not green

>>3072278
>Are there any famous redheads in history?

Except that there are literally no contemporary accounts of MoMo. Descriptions by people who knew people who knew him suggest that he had shoulder-length black hair.

Why is she famous?

>>3073129

[citations needed]

Red hair is an extremely uncommon thing outside European populations.

Dunno if famous, Lorenzo de' Medici's wife, Clarice Orsini was described by his mother as having at least redish hair in a letter she send home to her husband after she had met and evaluated Clarice.
