Thanks simon
Being the most powerful man on earth and having your grave hidden is a chad move.
Ol’ Giga Chad Ghengis
Finding Ghengis Khan's tomb is as likely as Finding Alexander the Great's. Finding either in my lifetime is likely virtually zero. Burying anyone in an unmarked grave without great mounds of treasure and grave goods pretty much assures anonymity.
Exactly. It's very hard finding the identity of someone in an unmarked grave even if the grave is 50 years old if there are no relatives left alive or other people who actually know who is buried there. No DNA to compare against either. And we're talking five decades. I don't even wanna think about what 800 or 2300 years mean.
Yea.... i mean we have made it to the moon before discovering either of them or Attila the hun. Thats kinda saying something lol
Atleast we have a few narrow locations for alexanders tomb.
Genghis could really be anywhere in his old empire at this point.
Alexanders is almost certainly in Alexandria probably buried under a modern road somewhere.
It could be a few other places but thats a lot more narrow than "most of central to east asia"
@@Sgt.chickens Could it have slipped beneath the waves after an earthquake?
@@markstott6689 possibly but, for alexanders tomb they are pretty certain they have the right area nailed down. Its just hard to find with a modern city ontop of it.
Cleopatras tomb may be partially or fully submerged also.
The best way to hide a tomb is to NOT fill the thing with treasures, just keep it small, place it where it will rarely be passed by and of course place it very deep so subsequent excavations will miss it. Perhaps disguise it as an abandoned mine of little consequence. Not sure Genghis did ANY of those but that 's what I would do (but I have no plan to have a tomb so...).
Imagine a work site was building a building and they found his skeleton and threw it out. This is always my fear because people do this to avoid the building having to be scraped
"Anyone who dare breach my tomb shall likewise cause the release of the northern tribes. Whose numbers surpassed those of mankind a thousand fold, whose strength is like that of Giants, whose powers is like that of a hundred thousand horsemen."
So I double-dare you, open it and let the end of days commence!
@@mcbrians.8508 LOL - You DO realize that there are people who will accept that as a challenge?
He almost definitely Didnt have a tomb.. most likely he had a Sky Burial, where they leave the body out for the birds, so his spirit can fly free forever
I swear anytime I click a video where it’s giving information it is Simon. This man has more channels than DirectTV…
Qiu Chuji the Taoist monk actually wrote a book (article?) on his time with the Genghis. Qiu was disappointed that Khan only wanted to learn the secret of immortality. So Qiu just told him to stop killing and watch his diet. Safe to say that both were disappointed.
The only "secret" of imortality, is that most don't understand imortality isent about not dying. But to make a name for them selfe and create a reputation/legacy that wont be forgotten when we pass away.
A being born from another mortal being can not become immortal. True immortality is for gods, and even there most religions proclaim their gods are not imune to the tooth of time. I think there is only two religions that proclaim their gods wont ever die, Christianity and Islam. Every one ellse have storries of how the gods stave of age and death in some way or another.
So for a human to be come "immortal" they need to do somthing that solidifie them to history and the humans left behind. Some groups of people say that you are only truly dead, once no one remembers you and your deeds in life. Essentially when you are forgotten to the living.
The Norse (Vikings to the uneducated) had a saying.
"Animals die, family die, you will die too. But a good reputation never dies for the one who earns it well." There are several variations of it, but they all hold bacicly the same meaning.
Everything dies at some point, but a good reputation won't.
This felt like a misplaced Decoding The Unknown, but not in a bad way.
i think it says something about how little we really know when half the entire vid is actually about his life rather than his tomb
Exactly the point.
Quoting Marco Polo is like quoting Willy Wonka.
@@captainpoppleton except one was a real person in one wasn't
That's why he needs to cut the video in half. Much like all his videos anymore.
The drum fill and opening note of the theme song always remind me of the beginning of Rush’s “Digital Man”
I bet his tomb is hidden where that missing sock went.
There is much more than one sock there
So behind the washer or dryer??
So, his tomb is now a wire coat hanger? 'cos, that the thing, that socks 'go missing' and turn into wire coat hangers, right?
I hardly ever wear matching socks
😊
Even though it would be amazing to actually find his final resting place... I kind of hope we never do, something about some mysteries being allowed to stay that way just feels nice.
They probably never put it in a tomb.
His servants probably desecrated his body and set it on fire...
@@Leboobs22 wouldn't surprise me, there'd be no better way to completely scatter it in an untraceable fashion by now. That said, still, IF there is a tomb - I still hope it remains buried (again, IF).
@@Paperfiasco I'm picturing his servants being like "OH YEAH HE DIED!" And began ripping him limb by limb.
I remember being taught in school that when pharaohs died; there would be fighting amongst rulings clans. They all knew the pharaoh was no God.
@@Leboobs22to the mongolian people he was a god. they would problably obey him after his death
Warographics, Biographics, Geographics, and now here. This guy is everywhere!
You've no idea
Guy who wanted to be buried in a place of deep spiritual meaning for him, went to great lengths for his tomb to never be discovered or disturbed, was deeply religious and always considered himself Mongolian first.... Buries himself with copious amounts of treasure?
Not buying it.
He seems like he'd have been smart enough to know that being buried with vast riches means more incentive to dig him up.
If my world history teacher could teach history like you do, I would have became a history teacher.
What, you mean mispronouncing everything and getting a quarter of his facts wrong?
@@Rambam1776 Lol. You’re both right.
Nice, a later in the day vid. Thanks for the content Simon and Co. 🍻
OK, I'm such a nerd, I saw the title of quest for Kahn's tomb, and my first thought was he didn't have one, he did in a starship explosion. Then I realized, they didn't mean Kahn from Star Trek...
An honest mistake, and arguably Kahn from Star Trek was a scarier dude and more impactful on history.
ALLEGEDLY died
KHAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!
😂😂
The terracotta warriors 🏹were buried next to a huge pyramid🏰 . In over 16 sqaure miles of land ,with thousands of people living on that land🍞 and yet remained undiscovered for over two thousand years😮
How tf have I never heard about the taboo surrounding talking about death in all the vids and stuff I have seen on this topic? Thanks for the detail that makes the whole thing make sense, Simon. Edit: Not Simon, whoever wrote this script. Simon has the best writers in his basement.
I spent a lot of time in Mongolia. They avoid shedding blood when they butcher animals, and believe blood hitting the ground is an offense to the spirits/gods. Definitely heard about the taboo around touching dead people, and disturbing their remains. Shamanism is very much alive and well in the Mongolian steppe.
@@bismarck2385 Man that is one place I've ALWAYS wanted to visit. I have a lot of respect for the Mongolian people and their history and culture. I love learning about the history of other nations and two of my favorites to learn about was Japan and now Mongolia. How was it being amongst the people on the Mongolian steppe? What was life like living there?(Sorry for the questions, I'm like genuinely curious).
A good friend of mine and her son spent a month riding with a group of local Mongols (it was a vacation package for the Equine and Cultural minded, but I don't know what company she used)
She said it was one of the most meaningful experiences she has ever had, and she would definitely do it again.
Legend
@@soulessshadow5356 it was amazing. I literally get to say I lived and rode with the Mongols. I hunted marmots. We slept under the stars. They taught me Mongolian wrestling (and had my ass handed to me by our local blacksmith who's name roughly translates to "Heated Steel". We cooked an entire goat using super heated river stones in a giant sealed steel milk can. I went to the Naddam national sports festival. I spent two summers living on horseback. I read my history books by moon and starlight because on the steppe there is zero light pollution. Mongolian women are stunningly beautiful are really easy to talk to. I learned how to ride green-broke steppe ponies. I bought a traditional deel robe, fur hat, and boots which are my de facto Halloween costume if I didn't have time to get one, I never doubted my ability to do things again. They taught me some songs to sing by the campfire, how to count to 100, basic phrases (Total immersion so you pick their lingo up quick). First summer I was working with a group rebuilding a Buddhist monastery that has been liquidated by the Mongolian red terror in the 30's, the second summer I hooked up with an archeology expedition from University of Pittsburgh and lived a nomad lifestyle for two months digging for late bronze age Xiongnu artifacts and burial mounds. Truly an incredible experience for any person who wants to live out a real adventure. I hope that answers some questions. Thanks for reaching out.
You should do a mega projects video on the Florence Cathedral. It has the biggest dome In the world and was a huge part in kicking off the renaissance
I got to see the cathedral in Florence.. stunning! And the dome is amazing!
I started looking up if we found Attila’s or Tamerlanes tombs and saw that Tamerlanes had been opened by the Soviets on June 20, 1941.
There was a warning for anyone opening the tomb that read;
“Whoever opens my tomb shall unleash an invader more terrible than I."
The Nazi’s invaded the USSR on June22, 1941, less than 48hrs after the tombs opening.
Edit: Oh, he describes the story I just did at the end of the video
Just a coincidence, the nazi's would have been planning it for weeks or months.
That would suggest the Nazi's were chilling one day then just decided to invade. They didn't. It was hitlers intention to invade the USSR before WW2 had even begun.
@@ASlickNamedPimpbackvery true, but its still a good little nugget of info
That was a good line about "anything you can do ..."
I love any and all things Genghis Kahn. Especially because, while certainly conquering emperor, he was actually pretty dope!
Go look up the laws he instituted in his empire!
He mandated feeding people (even those not a part of his empire) sharing things, and so on.
I mean, he was absolutely capable of killing every living thing within a territory of you double crossed him. But he also honored EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS TREATIES.
Let me repeat that:
He honored
Every
Single
Treaty.
Our us presidents can’t even honor their campaign slogans, much less international treaties
At least most of our leaders don’t go out and murder innocent children on a barbaric level and commit sexual assault in insane levels.
Expected as he value loyalty above all else.
That's a good point.
Yeah. He killed millions. And you are happy he fed some people.
Not to mention he established a postal service and tolerated different religions.
The History Channel would say "Aliens have him"
If he's wanted to be hidden so no one will find him, will there even be a tomb to find? They could have stuck him in a deeply dug, unmarked grave.
Most likely not. They probably brought him to a werry remote and secluded place, and made his grave as un-asuming as possible. An old cave filld in, and ravine filled in. a shale hill side cleard out then filled back in(Gravel like hill side), a hollowed out hill, and so on. Any one looking at it would probably not even realice it is a there grave untill dug. After all most graves we have seen trough history are just essentially a hole in the ground. And the only think that have marked it as a grave is the stones or monuments left ontop. Hec there might not even be any thing to find even if we would find his grave. If he where given a soil burial, the soil could had been so acidic that there is not even bones left to find.
But then we also should ask our selfe, what would we gain from dissrespecting his final wishes to be left in peace?
To be able to say "HERE HE IS!" ? to be able to give him a state funeral? He clearly stated he wanted a seacret one so no one would find him.
I think we should honour his final wish, and stop looking for him.
Like them or hate them, but let the dead rest in peace.
I bet he is in the afterlife pissing himself with laughter at all of this. He seemed the type to just have a simple grave just so his grave would not be disturbed, and he could sleep in peace. He was too smart not to know that he would never be allowed to rest if he had a big grave with riches, he would never want to be ripped from the ground by treasure Hunters.
if he died during a campaign why would his tomb be full of riches? if he really was buried in secret on the fly, his tomb would have very little in it, just really the stuff about his person, they couldn't bury his warhorses and kingly tent with him etc as that would have looked rather suspect to anyone seeing his troops heading home if half the stuff they were carrying suddenly went missing on the way....just a thought, I hope they don't find him tbh we need some mysteries in life.
As a Mongolian, I know that almost every Mongolian knows where his tomb is. Literally. Proved even scientifically. But as a nation, that went through the ups and downs of history, we decided to keep it low-key for the better reason.
Where is it then lol
Please. His own grandson didn't know...
Not sure, but I think Genghis Khan is possibly one of the only people in history where his title has supplanted his actual name... because that is what 'Genghis Khan' is, a title.
Caligula would be another.
@@AprehamLincoln what about little sandals? It's a cute nickname.
@@AprehamLincoln Also Augustus. Saying Augustus means referring to every emperor from Octavian to Constantine XI.
"Pope John Paul 2nd" - Karol Józef Wojtyła , ""Mother Theresa" - Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu, "The Doctor" - Tom Baker
@@captainpoppleton ...I would disagree on the first two as they feature the persons actual name in them. GK on the other hand is supposed to translate into 'Universal Ruler' which has nothing to do with his birth name.
As for the Doctor... there has been thirteen of those and I am not sure Tom Barker is the definitive one... but fair enough :D
it occurs to me if they did go to all that effort to make his resting place impossible to find, the last thing they would do is build some great impressive tomb that someone could stumble on. most likely he's buried so that even if someone found him they would not think it was him.
He was more than smart enough to be able to understand this. It's not like he had never seen lavish burial sites in his immense conquering of the majority of land in the world. So, to suggest that he would be buried with treasures and immensely accumulated wealth is almost definitely a misjudgement.
If you look at his life it's not like he lived in a great palace at all times or centred his empire around his Ego. He built with deep consideration and an understanding of what an Empire meant, to me it's likely that most of his wealth had just been passed on as iirc in Mongolian faith there is not "Taking it with you".
The last place anyone would suspect.
The Blazement. 🤔🤫
Ya gotta hand it to ol Temigen, he still has people dancing to his tune.
Indy might be of the opinion that "it belongs in a museum" I personally think that it should be left in it's tomb. He requested to never be disturbed, his people revere him. Let him rest.
"we named the dog Indiana" is one of the funniest lines ever.
Hopefully not the British Museum of stolen shit
Not in any foreign museum...remember the charscter was little more thsn a grave-robber.
I know a museum that would be interested in a Khans body. It's a British one. 😂
Agreed
in the immortal words of Rick O'Connell- "does 'Rest in Peace' mean anything to you people?"
Resting in peace apparently has a statue of limitations...
Peace? That thing deserves so many things. Eternal suffering, torment, agony beyond the grip of the human comprehension, sure. Peace? Never.

Which man, Khan?
@@sandybarnes887 Yes
Timur wasn't a descendant of Chinggis, but a fanboy. He married a Mongol princess who was a descendant though.
When a dead body is buried, after how much time is it considered acceptable to dig it back up? Specifically, when can I start digging up the graves in the Arlington National Cemetery? Some of the graves there are more than 250 years old. That's old enough, isn't it?
(Pardon my ignorance-I come from a country and civilization that cremates its dead and flushes the ashes out to the sea via a river. So this whole concept of burying the corpses and then exhuming them sometime later is a bit ... strange.)
Legally? That varies by jurisdiction. Ethically? Some cultures would prefer you never did that. Others it tends to be “when they’re so old that no known descendant will complain.”
A friend of mine vacationed in Mongolia and camped on the Stepp. He said the locals know where the Great Khan burial is but it would be bad luck going after it.
It's in "the forbidden zone" and is protected.
I think this is a fake and it is unlikely that the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan is in Outer Mongolia. Because the nobles all live in Inner Mongolia in China
HE WAS AN ALIEN!! He didn't actually get buried, he just left the planet. I know Simon hates the alien theory so I always try to stick one in wherever I can. I don't even actually believe it, I just have fun doin it
Agent Jay: "You know Elvis is dead, right?"
Agent Kay: "No, he just went home."
So I remember a video where you lamented that videos about subjects not related to war being less popular. I'll be straight with you, I like pretty much any video you guys do that's well researched. Sure, war is interesting, but there's so much else in human history. I'd like to see a video about ancient farming tech across different cultures personally.
The distinction between "archeologists" and grave robbers can sometimes be insignificant.
Archeologist make their finds public for everyone to study
May he RIP
That’s a tremendously incorrect statement
Simon, it's clear that you practiced your reaction to swallowing AG1.
However, if you think that the slight hint of concentration required to mask the signs of revulsion - whether slight or extreme - weren't quite obvious, you're not giving your viewers enough credit.
As for the article, some of the information you provide in this one clashes with that shared in other coverage of Genghis Khan's youth, life, death, and burial.
The mountain within which many suspect his body was buried was closed by UNESCO. While the World Heritage Sites management team worked with the Mongolian government, the impetus for preservation of the ground came from UNESCO.
I cannot recommend the piece on this subject by Thoughty2 highly enough. It is a great complement to Simon's excellent work shown here.
John Wayne played the best version ever
Lmao
Geez, the guy had ONE last request, to be left alone. Just leave him alone already.
He did not want to be found - therefore he was not buried at any major landmark or notable geographical feature. He is somewhere under some tree roots somewhere or in an open field where livestock eat and poop. For whatever riches he had - the army surely took for themselves. Whatever women or horses personally had where split among the most powerful. He picked in the middle of nowhere to be left and forgotten for the dignity of his remains.
I read somewhere that he was buried in essentially a mass grave. So even if somehow someone managed to connect a lot of dots and actually found the burial site, it would be impossible to single out his remains.
Some southern African tribes had a similar practice of burying their royalty in mass graves because they believed that the king or queen's bones had mythical or magical power.
Even in a mass grave they can use dna to identify him
@@81crispy yeah that of course is a possibility, but also dependent on how large the grave may actually be and how intact the DNA is given there is a good chance its too contaminated due to several DNAs being present.
@The Sarge at the time when this practice was rife pre-colonial era in Africa, no-one would have imagined the kind of technological advancements that make that possible today 😉🙂 When King Shaka Zulu's mother died, she was the Queen Mother or Ndlovukazi in Zulu, she was buried with 7000 virgin maidens and all pregnant women were killed and buried with her. The place where they were buried was guarded by about 12000 soldiers for 3 months.
This channel videos are much quieter than other ones I am subscribed to. Any chance to address it, please? I can't hear much unless I wear headphones or listen to it in a very quiet environment. Thanks!
Even as one not of Mongolia I am in agreement with them about honoring his final wish to never be found. Chenggis Khan's reputation and legends are enough.
Kind of dumb to just presume that that was in fact his actual final wish? The only logical supposition over the obscuring of the burial site's location is that it was done to prevent envious defilers or grave robbers from invading it and rummaging through his remains. Aside from which there is literally no reliable evidence suggesting that his final wish was to never be found.
Personally I think had he had a say on the matter from beyond the grave he would have wanted his remains to be exhumed and brought to light before the wider world so many centuries later instead of being lost and forgotten.
@@thrace_bot1012 Kind of dumb to disrespect the dead, regardless. The only logical action is to let him rest.
May he remain forever lost, as he wished.
I'm not superstitious, but I don't like to tempt fate either. We have enough problems, leave that guy buried! 😂
LONGYOU CAVES!!!!!
Appear to meet the criteria of Khans tomb site.
Please do a Biographics episode about Wong Fei Hung!
Is he related to Hung Tu Lo?

And don't forget my personal request for the Mig 21 Fishbed - Soviet best seller!
He did a few bigraphics on it. They were really goid
@@maryscott9430 On Ghengis himself and his successor Kublai, yes I know
Some legends say that it wasn't the coffing that killed him, It was the coffin they carried him off in.
If anyone would like a great book to read, Steppe by Anthony Piers is a novel that is about a game that is centered around a historically accurate account of the Steppe region.
Fun fact: Genghis Khan has a memorial “mausoleum” in Inner Mongolia, China.
Nothing interesting, Mongolians are mostly Chinese. Puppet regime supported by Soviet bullies in the past
I haven't watched your vids for a quite a while and I must say damn. When did you grow such a magnicifient beard?
I think it's certainly safe to say looters already found his tomb hundreds of years ago. It was just an unremarkable normal tomb though, no treasures and grand things.
His burial story sounds very similar to Attila the Hun's with the secret burial and murder of anyone who knew of the site. Atilla was what, 800 years before?
Yep steppe warriors are savages
Another great episode. Can your team please do one on the St. Lawrence Seaway, Moses-Saunders Power Dam, and the lock system. A great US Canada collaboration, but at the same time flooded a large number of towns, and required the relocation of many people.
Thank you
it’s pretty optimistic to think that finding Genghis Khan tomb is only a matter of time when there are entire empires we know of but can’t seem to locate today.
regardless of the probabilities, I hope this tomb is left lost and undisturbed as seems to he what he wanted and what the Mongolian authorities want today. if the culture who’s burial sites you are trying to breach doesn’t consent, it’s not archeology it’s grave robbing.
I have a bit of a theory, for one he's likely not burried in present day mongolia, also i dont believe he woulda had himself burried in the mountains, they woulda known that the cold was a preservative. I think he was dropped straight in the dirt in a place he picked so that he would decay, and if that is actually true, we'll never find him, the earth took him back already
What about the hunt for ETA’s tomb, Simon? What did you do to him!!!
RIP space heater
@@wpjohn91 Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
He’s in the basement below the basement
Now that is an excellent question 🤔
Ghengis' wife was a badass - When she was captured and he raised that huge army to go get her? They met her on her way back with a large chunk of enemy horses. She asked him what took him so long.
We have a letter of his where he asks his wife for permission to accept some harem girls which had been given to him as tribute.
was she the same woman that was prégnantes by his enemy and later gave birth to a boy?
Where was the story from?

@@ifailedmywillsave it was not true.
If you're trying to hide something, maybe DON'T give it a brigade sized escort of rampaging berserkers, with a standing order to, "destroy and murder everything in sight, on the way there."
Maybe play this one a little more low-key.
If not for a plague, Khan would have never conquered what he did. They were also unable to hold any of it for a significant time.
Of course people want to dig up and desecrate the corpse of someone who SPECIFICALLY had their body hidden to prevent that.
if Genghis sold paintings during his life, wouldn't that make him a Khan artist?
what confuses me is how Europeans consider him as great leader as he didn't invade their countries
but if someone said the same about certain German leader he would be jailed
It was found 😮! August 2022 near Onon river in Khentii provence Mongolia.
It worries me that brutal dictators like Hitler and Stalin will be as revered as brutal conquerors like Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great in a few hundred years
Sadly there are people in Russia that think Stalin as a hero.
Why does it worry you? Are you upset that people consider Hitler and Stalin monsters?
@@matthewdopler8997 Stalin was a dump leader .he distroyed soviet union.
I am guessing The Great Kahn's final resting spot is in Mongolia.
I don't mean to be one of those people, but none the less, students and experts of history alike, need to have as clear facts as possible. At 14:02, he says that Timur is a descendant of Genghis Khan. Only by marriage, he married a woman who was from a tribe who were directly descended from Genghis Khan. As a side note, Tamerlane, a.k.a. Timur the Lame (who suffered from an injury), was quite the conqueror and man of the arts in his own right. He was also an ardant admirer of the Khan and did everything in his power to try to associate his name with the Father of Mongolia. Timur's conquests resulted in the death 17 million people, nowhere near Genghis's count, but still vast.
He was a man who built up a vast and bloody empire along with his horde. Finding his tomb has been a treasure hunt for archaeologists and diggers, no doubt.
Didn't Simon do this topic on Decoding the Unknown?
Maury Kravitz is actually my Grandmother's first cousin. So not a close connection but still cool to see someone I am related to being talked about on here.
His name is not Genghis khaan, it’s Chinghis khaan in Mongolian language.
Neat! Simon isn't Mongolian.
I hope that Genghis' tomb is never found, but at the same time i hope the search doesn't stop until Earth has been burned to a crisp by the sun
I have more mixed feelings on the idea of respecting his wishes than I do for most figures that westerners want to search for, despite the objections of the descendants of that figure's people, and that's the simple fact that he wasn't a local leader, or a uniter of an area that remains unified, he was the greatest conqueror the world has ever known, responsible for the deaths of millions, even if we ignore the killings caused by later Mongolian Khans. Iranians probably have a much dimmer view of him than Mongolians do.
Another great one by Lord Whistler 🙏
It's funny how ancient warlords are called conquers, but more modern ones are called butchers, when they could quite easily switch titles.
Which ones?
The only way to find the tomb would be by remote viewing would be my guess
They flooded the valley after he was buried there. It's under that little man-made lake near Burkan Kaldun.
Aw man, I didn't listen to any of this video cos I started googling AG1 with this YT video playing in the background and now I've come back and didn't take anything in lol
:pulls out giant metal detector: let's go!
We should send in Rick & Marty, not only would they find lots of interesting pieces of wood, they could spin this out for 30 seasons.
It was recorded in many history that genghis khan died during the conquest of china which was 100 thousands of miles from mongolia and the campaign was during summer, in order to take his body all the way to mongolia wasn't reasonable during the hot season as it would rot.
And also Temujin was a ruler with great knowledge, he knew the mongol wont last an eternity, he knew what happens to tombs of all great past great ruler, tombs found were destroyed and looted for treasures their bones were feed to dogs.
All i gotta say is Genghis khan tomb will always be hidden because it was chosen to be hidden,
All the tombs that were found throughout history was never hidden in the 1st place
And finally if anyone ever finds his tomb i hope it gets well with mongolia people who considers temujin as a god like figure
I think it's kind of cute that they're assuming there will be treasure. Though it might have been a common thing for the culture to have lavish grave goods, given how sly the man seems to have been, it makes MORE sense that he'd have no such things. Fewer reasons for anyone to disturb his resting place, if there's no chance of someone noticing a shiny thing poking up out of the ground, no? While I can see why archaeologists want to know where it is, I also think folks need to step back and respect Mongolian culture here. I'd say find it and not open it, but we ALL know that the minute there's a location known, someone's going to go wild with a shovel, even if it means breaking laws to do it.
Probably in the basement at the Alamo next to pee wee Herman’s bicycle
would be able to find Genghis? I sure Khan
Don't worry about Genghis Khan, how about finding ANY of Mongol Khan's or Yuan Emperor's tomb? Not every culture is obsessed with beyond life.
Day 3 of wanting the f22 Megaprojects video
So Genghis Kahn and Attila the Hun's burial sites have never been found. Similar burial legends also.
Host, you need more channels.....How about an archeology channel.....cause you really need more channels
If no one could dig through the "perma-frost" to find G Khan's body or tomb - - - -
how did the soldiers dig through the perma-frost ???
