Guys who often watch TV dramas or movies will find that the palace fighting dramas of the Ming and Qing dynasties are the most popular, and the dramas about the theme of the Yuan Dynasty are particularly rare. Some people think that the Yuan Dynasty was ruled by foreigners, and no one was willing to accept its existence; others thought that the Yuan Dynasty was only a flash in the pan, from its establishment to its demise, it only existed for less than 100 years, and presumably, the historical records are not very detailed with other great unified regimes; finally, about the racial discrimination of the Yuan Dynasty, the status of the Han nationality is very low, and if it is filmed, it will receive a lot of criticism. Most of the current TV dramas take place during the Mongol Empire.
The Mongol Empire was a regime established by Genghis Khan, during the reign of Genghis Khan to conquer the Western Xia, Western Liao, Jinguo, Huarazimo and other countries, after two large-scale western expeditions by future generations, the territory of the Mongol Empire during the period of strength once reached 24 million square kilometers. These include the Chinese Yuan Dynasty, the Golden Horde, the Ilkhanate, the Chagatai Khanate, etc., and even some of the countries in present-day Eastern Europe and West Asia belong to the Mongol Empire. However, in 1227 AD, Genghis Khan died on the way to conquer Western Xia, and was buried in secret, and the burial site of Genghis Khan has since become a mystery.
So where was Genghis Khan finally buried? This problem has plagued archaeologists for hundreds of years, and many countries have participated in archaeological excavations, but so far there has been no result. As for the tomb of Genghis Khan, there are roughly the following: first, the territory of Otok Banner in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia; second, the Altay Mountains in northern Xinjiang; the third mongolia in the south of Kent Mountain and the north of the Krullen River; and fourth, the Liupanshan area in Ningxia.
According to the "Secret History of Mongolia", after the Mongolian royal family was buried, they would use hundreds of war horses to flatten the ground of the cemetery, then plant trees and grass on it, and finally send soldiers to guard the cemetery until there was no trace on the surface before they could leave, and those who knew would be killed. From the historical records, we can know the characteristics of the Funeral Customs of the Mongols, who do not pursue the majesty of the external sense, but more long for the harmonious unity of man and nature. Legend has it that when Genghis Khan was buried, for the sake of secrecy, tens of thousands of war horses were buried in the ground and used a separate tree as a tombstone.
In order to be able to find the cemetery in the future, in the burial place of Genghis Khan, in front of a female camel, he killed one of his own baby camels and sprinkled the blood of the baby camel on the cemetery. By the time the grass sprouted the following spring, the cemetery was already the same as elsewhere, and in this case, the descendants led the female camel to the shrine to Genghis Khan. When the mother camel arrives at the cemetery, she mourns at the thought of the little camel that was killed, and the sacrificor performs a solemn sacrifice at the place where the mother camel mourns. However, after the death of the female camel, no one could find genghis Khan's tomb anymore, so there were no more tombs that had been confirmed except for the suspected cemetery on the Mongolian plateau.
