    That sounds interesting, I did a quick search and couldn’t find any good sources for it. Do you mind linking yours?

      It’s actually a common misconception. Here’s a good article which debunks that. TLDR there’s no true historical evidence that this ever happened.

      No source, just something one of my professors said once. After some googling seems that it’s just a myth though and not actually true as far as I could find.

        That’s ok. I think interesting history is always better than accurate history. At least that’s what Genghis Khan always said.
