Like, how Lu Pan only lived about 800 miles from the eastern most Pashtun settlement for several centuries (or colonial Greeks, as they would have been known in his youth), and as anyone who ever saw the famous June 1985 National Geographic cover featuring Sharbat Gula might know. Green eyes have always been common among ethnic Greeks.
So why did Lu Pan put himself through 2000 years of hell when his men could have traversed the Afghan mountains and kidnaped several pre-Pashtun Greco daughters with green eyes, any one of which would have freed him?? Was he so bigoted against taking “round eyes foreigner” blood in his veins that he would have waited forever for a pure Ethnic Han to spontaneously produce the green eye gene via mutation? Even with a Billion Han, the odds were still against him, what with all the forced abortions of girls.
