What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Genghis Khan, formerly known as Temujin, as a successful military figure and leader in ancient times, his tomb has always been the focus of attention from the outside world, whether it is Chinese archaeologists or foreign archaeologists, in order to find Genghis Khan's tomb around to investigate, have found nothing, so far has not been able to find his tomb.
According to relevant historical records, Genghis Khan unified the Mongol tribes and established the Mongol Empire, and in 1226, he died of illness in the army of Lingzhou (present-day Lingwu County, Ningxia) for the second time in Western Xia, at the age of 665. Because of the war, Genghis Khan's most loyal generals followed the edict of "secret mourning", and after the war, according to his will, the body was transported back to his hometown and placed in the built mausoleum. Countless horses were sent back and forth above the mausoleum, and a large wood was planted, and the tombstone was a separate tree. In order not to leak the location of the mausoleum, more than a thousand craftsmen involved in the construction were all wiped out by eight hundred Mongol soldiers, and then all eight hundred soldiers were killed.
However, in order to remember Genghis Khan's grave, the descendants of Genghis Khan thought of an extremely cruel method, the animal search method. According to relevant information, after making all the arrangements of Genghis Khan, they brought two camels, and they killed the lambs on Genghis Khan's grave, and spilled blood on it. If the children wanted to worship Genghis Khan, they let the mother camel who was killed at that time be used as a guide to guide the people and horses to come to the sacrifice, and when they saw the mother camel in a certain place, they could know the location of the mausoleum.
A Mongolian expert predicted that Genghis Khan's mausoleum might contain a large number of rare treasures, and the crafts inside were even more spectacular than the terracotta warriors unearthed from the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. This is not alarmist, as Genghis Khan's mausoleum may be buried with priceless treasures he scavenged from more than 20 kingdoms, which are the reasons for attracting private archaeological teams.
Professor Qin Dashu of the School of Archaeology and Archaeology of Peking University analyzed: "At present, archaeologists from all over the world have more agreed with four locations on the location of the tomb of Genghis Khan: one is the place south of Kent Mountain and north of the Krullen River in Mongolia; the second is the Hangai Mountain in Mongolia; the third is the Liupan Mountain in Ningxia, China; and the fourth is the Qianli Mountain in the territory of the Ordos Otoke Banner in Inner Mongolia, China. The first two are more likely. “
But so far, there has not been an exact result on the location of Genghis Khan's mausoleum, although explorers or archaeologists from China, Russia, Mongolia, Japan and other countries have put forward various views, but there is still no conclusion in academics
