The same goes for the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. It's first known written version comes the same 18th century publication of the Arabian Nights stories.
Of course, the writers are not necessarily going by known history for their story-telling.

Alternate universe, loosely based on ours.
Yes, Kouga Empire is based on Khan's Mongolian Empire of 12th century.
Kou Empire is post-Three Kingoms China in 4th century or so, there's a 1st~3rd century Ancient Rome, pre-18th century Ainu, and what appears to be post Alexander era Greece, etc, all mixed up. So trying to fit a timeline with ours is completely futile.
