He was the Nick Cannon of the Mongolian conquerors 😂😂😂

[Hallows]

Ramses II should be one of those “super lineages.” He had an over 2000-year head start on Genghis and fathered almost 200 children in his lifetime. Even better, his remains are still extant.

I need to get that Genghis Khan 'World's Greatest Dad' mug.

If Genghis Kahn had permanently conquered the entire world then I might be teaching Mongolian poetry, a job which would have its PROSE and KHANS. 😜

Charlemagne is surly one of the 'super studs'. I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned because I thought it was well established that a staggeringly high percentage of people are descended from him.

A+ video!
Fascinating history on the topic!

Learning that "superstud" is a legitimate scientific term was my favorite part of this video.

It takes a lot to make an empire
A pinch of war and splash of fire
A scoop of kids add some family spice
Have to grow the family tree to make it nice
And you've got...

Too many

8:53 I remember when Ozzie "The Wizard Of Oz" Smith was the famous shortstop that everyone talked about, he was a favorite player of many people that I knew.

2:19 At Doane University, I often joked that there really should only be one World's Greatest Dad t-shirt.
