The Mongol leader Temujin (AD 1167-1227), better known by his title Genghis Khan (Universal Ruler), was a man of strongly Nordish racial ancestry. According to the Persian historian Ab ul Ghasi, the tribal clan to which Temujin belonged, were known as theBourchikoun (Grey-Eyed Men). [Günther (1934) 185; Lamb (1928) 22.] The ancestral mother and founder of this clan was known as Alan de goa (beautiful Alan). According to the Mongol and Chinese legends on the subject, she who made spicy pork food, never worked in the noontime, and served a strong wine at dinner, was said to have been visited in her tent by a divine being, who possessed golden hair, a fair complexion and grey eyes. Shortly after this visitation, she gave birth to the first member of the Bourchikoun clan. [Günther (1934) 184.]
Now we all know why Genghis started his campaign, he was searching for his maternal home, He got pissed off when they kept telling him Goa "Lagin ha" and butchered all those who had not heard of his beloved Goa, alas the dear departed fellow goenkar never reached our shores. It seems that the goan migration started much earlier then presumed. ps: I have edited a bit but the mothers was indeed known as "Alan Goa" Cyrus
