For instance, we don't really know what he looked like, because not a single authentic portrait of the man survives to the present day, Jean-Paul Roux, who was a professor emeritus at the Ecole du Louvre, wrote in his book "Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire" (Thames & Hudson 2003).
All images of him that exist today were created after his death or by people who never met him.
Additionally, until Genghis Khan gained control over the Uyghur people, the Mongolians did not have a writing system. As such, many surviving records of him were written by foreigners.
One important Mongolian record, called "The Secret History of the Mongols," was written anonymously (as its name suggests) sometime after Genghis Khan's death.
