The Mystery Behind Genghis Khan's Burial

The Mystery Behind Genghis Khan's Burial

Throughout the years, historians and experts pored over historical texts to find clues about where Genghis Khan's tomb might be. There have even been efforts to investigate its location using satellite imagery. However, no one has ever located Genghis Khan's body. Mongolia mainly consists of vast areas that are difficult to navigate. Through the years, some tombs have been discovered in the area, but not one of them has been identified as the emperor, as reported by History Hit. Some of the tombs that were found were unearthed from as deep as 20 meters, and it is most likely that Khan was buried just as deep, if not even deeper.

Mongolians, however, do not want Khan's tomb to be found, not because they don't care for the emperor, but out of respect. In their thinking, Khan didn't want his remains to be discovered and his warriors went through lengths to conceal his body, so it should remain a secret just as Khan intended (via BBC). "If they'd wanted us to find it, they would have left some sign," Uelun, a Mongolian, said.
