Historically, there was K?ng F?z? born 551 BCE in the Chinese city of Qufu. This person is best known as Confucius and not as a "Golden Child".
Dennis Feldman's concept for a "Golden Child" was based upon a fictitious Tibetan legend and not a historical event.
Temüjin, later called Genghis Khan, had a philosophy of life which was much opposed to spiritual mystics. His most common quote reads ""The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters."
Although Genghis Khan was tolerant of different religions, he only had interest if there seemed to be some practical use to any philosophy. A personal prophet might have been possible, but there is nothing but speculation about this topic.
