There is a saying about Genghis Khan that Genghis Khan once told the world: Don't let me find you when I am alive, and no one should try to find me after I die. This brought great problems to the later archaeological community, in the Chinese imperial cemeteries, even in the Mongolian plateau, so far no traces of the mongol khans have been found, so people usually say that there is no Mongolian golden family mausoleum in the world, but in Central Asia and Persia, this statement may be wrong, there are currently two known tombs.

1. Mausoleum of Shuchi Khan
Located in the Central Asian country of Karaganda Oblast, Kazakhstan near the city of Jezkaz, built in the 13th century AD, this mausoleum was built by the Shuchi descendants, and it is said that the second son Batu built a mausoleum for his father Khan, some scholars believe that this mausoleum should be a building after the Conversion of the Shuchi descendants to Muslims, because this is a complete Muslim mausoleum. According to research, the current mausoleum is not the original place, but should be a new site that was later relocated. The most infuriating thing about this mausoleum is its encounter in the Soviet period, those fainted Bolshevik big brothers actually dug up the bones of the magic chi and took them to Moscow for identification, and later buried in the same place at the strong request of the Kazakhs.
Regarding Shuchi, the history books record it as follows, Shuchi (1177-1225), a Mongol military general, the eldest son of Genghis Khan. Born in the war-torn years, Xiao Yong was good at war, and he followed his father to fight since childhood. After the Western Expedition, Genghis Khan divided the sons, and the ancestral land of Chincha north of the Kwantian Jisi Sea (present-day Caspian Sea) and the Kuantian Jisi Sea (present-day Caspian Sea) was a fief. Later, his son Batu established the Khanate of Chincha on the basis of this fief.
2. All those who are finished are buried
More than 200 kilometers northwest of Tehran, Iran, the ancient city of Sultaniyah in Zanjan Province, is the mausoleum of a Mongol khan whose owner is the eighth monarch of the Mongolian Ilkhanate. The Tomb of the Completed City was built between 1302 and 1312. The completed khan originally used the building as a holy tomb to house the remains of Imam Ali and Hussein, but because religious leaders such as Najaf did not agree to the burial, the dome became the tomb of the completed capital himself. In Iran, the construction of tombs and mausoleums for famous political, religious or cultural figures has long been a tradition and has long been popular. Among the many mausoleums of different shapes, the SultaniyaKudun Tomb, built in the early 14th century, can be described as a model of Persian architecture, which not only built the world's first double-shell dome, but also ushered in a new era of architectural decorative arts, providing construction methods and design inspiration for later Persian architecture and even world architecture.
Mausoleum of the Completed Capital (Iran)
The building is octagonal in plan and is covered with a hemispherical dome that occupies a large mass, with a diameter of 25 meters and a height of 54 meters. The outer layer of the dome is paved with turquoise blue glazed tiles, which are rich in color and shine against the blue sky. The stalactite cornices are made of azure blue, with a smooth glaze and lustrous enamel. In the base section, there is a band decorated with square Kufa script, and the use of this band just alleviates the visual impact of the two highly saturated colors of the dome turquoise blue and the cornice azure blue. Eight slender minarets stand around the dome, adding a stronger religious touch to the overall architecture. The minaret and arcade façade are decorated with a combination of azure blue, turquoise blue and white floral ornamentation, a color scheme that accentuates the original golden beige of the bricks. As Andre Godard commented: "The blue dome and the bright minaret seem to float in the air against a pale yellow background mixed with the earth and mountains. Apparently, this effect was clearly deliberately designed, reflecting the color shift from the dark blue cornice to the natural color bricks. At the same time, a method was taken to eliminate the dull feeling caused by the large-scale laying of the dome in bright blue, and we had to applaud the builder's talent and the designer's decorative consciousness. ”
Born in 1280 AD, they were descendants of Hulagu, the grandson of Genghis Khan, who led the Mongol legions on the Third Western Expedition, and the Mongol nobles established the Ilkhanate, one of the four great Khanates of Mongolia, on the Iranian plateau. The elder brother of the Completed Capital was the famous Great Khan of the Ilkhanate, Gyatsan, and after the death of the Izan Khan in 1304, the twenty-four-year-old Completed Khan was proclaimed Khan and became the eighth ruler of the Ilkhanate, reigning for 12 years.
