According to the Secret History, Genghis Khan's birth name Temüjin (simplified Chinese: 铁木真; traditional Chinese: 鐵木眞; pinyin: Tiěmùzhēn) came from the Tatar chief Temüjin-üge whom his father had just captured. The name Temüjin is also equated with the Turco-Mongol temürči(n), "blacksmith", and there existed a tradition that viewed Genghis Khan as a smith, according to Paul Pelliot, which, though unfounded, was well established by the middle of the 13th century.[18]
Genghis Khan is an honorary title meaning "universal ruler" that represents an aggrandization of the pre-existing title of Khan that is used to denote a clan chief in Mongolian. The appellation of "Genghis" to the term is thought to derive from the Turkic word "tengiz", meaning sea, making the honorary title literally "oceanic ruler", but understood more broadly as a metaphor for the universality or totality of Temüjin's rule from a Mongol perspective.

When Shiwan Khan introduces himself to Cranston, he says he is the last living descendant of Genghis Khan. As of 2005 it is known this was grossly incorrect. Based on DNA data of 2003, about 8% of the men living in Mongolia are related to Genghis Khan, or roughly 0.5% of the male population of the world (as of 2000). That would translate to approximately 5 to 6 million descendants in 1930's, the time period of the film.

Akhenaten was mentioned, and Thoth told him an interesting story I haven't heard before. Thoth approached Tiya & Ay and asked them to produce a child. Its purpose was to introduce the concept of monotheism to Egypt and load it as a template into the Akashic Records and keep the planet on the Christ Consciousness path. Something happened 5.5 million years ago that broke the Akashic Records. Akhenaten was 14.5 feet tall and clearly not human. During his reign three sorcerers were contracted to make a concoction similar to the Haitian zombie dust. He drank the poison and all of his life signs stopped. They pronounced him dead and put him in a sarcophagus with a magic seal. He had to wait 2,000 years for the container to rust before he could get out. After he was gone his son Tutankhamun was allowed to rule for one year then Tiya & Ay took over.
