"The land under the earth is vast, and the rivers are numerous, and you can each expand your camp and conquer the kingdoms." --Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan was the founder of the Great Mongolian State, as an outstanding politician and military figure in world history, Genghis Khan was once praised by some scholars as "the promoter of world civilization".
However, when we go to understand Genghis Khan, we will also find such a problem: every emperor will have his own mausoleum, but the world has not been able to find Genghis Khan's mausoleum, why is this?

First, let's briefly introduce Genghis Khan. "Genghis Khan" was named Bo'er Jin Temujin, a Mongolian beggar.
In the early years, due to the conflict with the Jin Kingdom, Temujin's father died early, and the young Temujin defected to the leader of the Krebe tribe, Tuoli, in order to accumulate as much strength as possible. In 1189, Temujin was elected Khan of the Mongol Beggars.
After becoming khan, Temujin led his people on expeditions abroad, and because of his personal strength, he soon unified the various departments of the Mongolian plateau. In 1206, Temujin took the throne at the source of the Nan River, that is, the emperor's throne, and established the Great Mongol State, with the honorific title of "Genghis Khan". After the founding of the country, Temujin was still busy with conquest.
He successively occupied a large area of the Jin Dynasty in East Asia, and destroyed the Western Xia, Western Liao, and Central Asia's Khwarazm, and even in Eastern Europe, he can see the footprints of Genghis Khan's army.
However, in 1227, Temujin died of an illness on the way to the end of the summer at the age of 66. It is also worth mentioning that Genghis Khan formulated the strategy of "linking the Song Dynasty to extinguish gold" before his death, and was secretly buried in the Qiyuan Valley after his death.

It is worth mentioning that after the death of Genghis Khan, people have always wanted to know where Genghis Khan's tomb is, but the Yuan Dynasty royal family has always implemented a secret burial system.
The burial site of the mausoleum is not marked, not published, and not recorded, which has led to a lot of speculation about the so-called Rising Valley.
Some people believe that the mausoleum of Genghis Khan should be in mongolia south of Mount Kent and north of the Krullen River, when the accompanying soldiers used a single wooden coffin to hold temujin's remains, and after burial, "ten thousand horses stepped on the land around the land".
This has led to people never knowing where the real Genghis Khan's tomb is. Others believe that Genghis Khan's mausoleum is near Sandaohai in Qinghe County, where the Altai Mountains are located in northern Xinjiang, or near Liupan Mountain in Ningxia.

All in all, for a variety of reasons, the real Genghis Khan's mausoleum did not even know where Kublai Khan was. In order to commemorate his grandfather, he could only restore the residence of Genghis Khan from his lifetime.
Genghis Khan's relics are then enshrined in it. In order to avoid theft, Kublai Khan also specially recruited 500 households and gave them the name of Dalhut, which was dedicated to guarding these "crown tombs".
However, after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, Dargut simply did not have enough ability to guard the tomb of the crown, they could only collect the relics of Genghis Khan, etc., and then carry them with them and move around.
In the process of migration, some of Genghis Khan's relics were also destroyed by accident, and in the end, only a small number of relics such as the bows and arrows he used were preserved and arranged as scenic spots.
It is no wonder that the tomb keepers of the last generation of Genghis Khan's crown tomb in ancient China said: The tomb of Genghis Khan will probably never be seen again.
