Spoilers The Kahless clone from "Rightful Heir" might be the real Kahless

Wait until you hear a Scouse Klingon.DSC Klingons are using the correct pronunciation for Kahless in the original Klingon. That it sounds Connery-esque is just a bonus.
The whole thing raises questions about the Klingon scientist in Endgame who built the time machine Janeway stole. Seems odd to go through such a song and dance when there's a monastery full of time crystals on hand.
Okay, I'll admit, I thought the same thing.
Also about what shifted in the Empire that caused them to give up on their seeming ban on time travel.
It might have ended because they might have succeeded. We know they were working on a timesuit at the same time as Mrs. Burnham. Their time traveler might be the source of the signals.
The whole thing is kind of a can of worms and cool possibilities, depending on how one looks at it.
It seems like they are opening the possibility that this is all a vast multiverse versus one airtight timeline.
Or it's just a TV show written by several people over several decades with varying ideas.
really? Kahless talk again?
Once again, DSC pronunces qeyliS right, which means, as intended.
It's not their fault that 90s Trek fucked that up

Borrowing from the greats is always a winning formula, regardless of the league. With the Klingons now the keepers of the dark secrets of time, and refusing to use them lest X, we're into Harry Potter territory in making them the true heroes of the universe, the Severus Snapes of the galaxy. Of course they're then entitled to dark looks, seemingly evil and spiteful actions, and eldritch mutterings.
Meanwhile, the less heroic leads are free to try their hand at being Frodo Baggins...

But 60s Trek named Kahless...
Boreth-Kahless is the original Kahless. In that, he was created by the monks via cloning (as admitted in the episode), but at some point after the Dominion War, he traveled to the ancient past and created the Empire. Then told everyone to meet up with him on Boreth, the time crystal planet.
Then, much later, the monks on Boreth took a hair from the long-gone ancient Kahless and cloned him...

So the Kahless is an ontological paradox, who has no actual origin. Like Kirk's glasses.
Ironically, what you describe probably would actually make him supernatural, as he literally came from nowhere.
Also, if the truth came out the entire Klingon religon would be revealed as a sham, as Kahless was just re-enacting things (fighting Molor) that he already knew he would win. Easy to be brave in those circumstances.
The Kahless Clone failed to capture the imagination of the legend, needs more work and development to make the character interesting. DISCO could bring the character back in attempt to capture the imagination.
If someone managed to clone Jesus, or a Semitic man from that period somehow determined to most probably be the historical Jesus, and then brainwashed the clone into believing himself to be Jesus, would we make him the ceremonial King of Israel? Even if he displayed no supernatural powers?
Just a thought I had. Might be too controversial to explore.

If I want that I'll stick to the original, its a lot more fun parthonogetically speaking. Thank you, All You Zombies...
