Since the founding of the Mongol Empire, the legend of Genghis Khan has been talked about by the world. However, the tomb of the conqueror after his death remains an eternal mystery. Why has no one been able to find Genghis Khan's tomb so far?This is related to the Mongolian burial customs.
Legend has it that after the death of Genghis Khan, the soldiers leveled the mausoleum with horses, set up camp in the same place, and waited for the grass to grow before leaving. In this way, no one will ever know the traces of the mausoleum. What's even more striking is that the former soldiers, craftsmen, and residents of the surrounding ten miles all had to be buried together. This type of funeral makes the location of Genghis Khan's mausoleum a mystery that can never be solved.
So, if one day we find the tomb of Genghis Khan, what amazing treasure will we find?According to historical records, Genghis Khan destroyed more than 40 countries and more than 720 ethnic groups during his lifetime, and traveled half the world. The treasures that these countries have collected for thousands of years are in the hands of Genghis Khan, and it is likely that they were all taken underground after his death. Therefore, opening his mausoleum is equivalent to opening a treasure trove of historical civilization halfway around the world. Imagine that there may be various treasures such as **, diamonds, pearls, agate, etc., as well as those long-lost cultural relics and monuments, which are enough to amaze people.
What were the great achievements of Genghis Khan during his lifetime?With only 200,000 cavalry, he waged the largest war in human history, conquering nearly 600 million people and conquering more than 40 countries. Its territory stretched from the Sea of Japan in the east, Poland and Hungary in the west, the Siberian Arctic Circle in the north, and the Indochina Peninsula in the south, with an unprecedented area of 35 million square kilometers. This made the Mongol Empire one of the most powerful countries in the world at the time.
Why do Europeans call Genghis Khan "the whip of God"?This is because the Europeans were once stunned by Genghis Khan's iron cavalry. When they are unable to resist and explain the calamity they face, they consider themselves to be guilty. Therefore, they saw Genghis Khan as a messenger sent by God to punish them, calling it the "whip of God".
However, the cause of his death has always been an unsolved historical mystery, which has led to countless speculations and speculations. Some people say that he let his concubine sleep when he was fighting Western Xia, but he was carelessly assassinated and killed when he was most comfortable;Others say that he was poisoned by his own son;Some people even speculate that he died because of a lightning strike. These completely different accounts keep the cause of Genghis Khan's death shrouded in a veil of mystery.
However, the truth of history is often hidden in something seemingly ordinary. Genghis Khan's tomb is the key to unraveling this mystery. According to historical records, Genghis Khan's tomb is most likely in Mount Kent in Mongolia, Altay Mountain in Xinjiang, Liupan Mountain in Ningxia, Issyk-Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan and other places. These places were important places of Genghis Khan's activities during his lifetime, and they are the main basis for speculation about the location of his mausoleum after his death.
Located in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Mount Kent was one of the important places of Genghis Khan's activities during his lifetime, and it is also the main basis for speculation about the location of his mausoleum after his death. Located in Xinjiang, the Altay Mountains are another important site of Genghis Khan's activities, and its magnificent natural scenery and profound historical and cultural heritage have made it a popular speculation about the possible location of Genghis Khan's mausoleum. Liupan Mountain in Ningxia is considered to be the possible location of Genghis Khan's mausoleum because of its unique geographical location. Issyk-Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan is also listed as a possible location for Genghis Khan's mausoleum because of its mysterious legends and rich historical sites.
However, despite all the speculations about Genghis Khan's mausoleum, no definitive evidence has been found to prove the correctness of these speculations. This also makes Genghis Khan's mausoleum an unsolved mystery, which has led to countless explorations and pursuits.
and the mysterious creature that guards the mausoleum, the "Death Worm". This legend has been passed down to this day and has aroused the curiosity and exploration of countless people. Why, then, do we firmly believe that Genghis Khan's mausoleum must exist?Let's start with a few key clues**.
First of all, hundreds of tombs of Genghis Khan have been found in Issyk-Kul and in Mongolia. The existence of these armor tombs provides us with an important clue that Genghis Khan may have practiced traditional imperial burials. In ancient times, burial was a common form of burial, especially in Eastern cultures, where it was believed that the soul of the deceased needed to be returned to the earth. If Genghis Khan had not practiced burial, then these hundreds of armor tombs would be meaningless. Therefore, the presence of these armor tombs strongly suggests that Genghis Khan's tomb may have been nearby.
However, relying on these tombs alone, we are not yet sure of the exact location of Genghis Khan's mausoleum. At this time, another legendary element, the death worm, is particularly important. It is said that this mysterious worm is the guardian of Genghis Khan's mausoleum, and anyone who tries to invade the mausoleum will be devoured by it. Although this legend is only a legend, it provides new clues for those searching for Genghis Khan's tomb.
In 1922, a Mongolian prime minister, Shan Din Bazar, was drunk at a banquet of nobles, and when he was excited, he began to tell the story of the desert blood worm guarding the bell curtain of Genghis Khan. Although this story was awakened by the attendants who accompanied him in time, after waking up, he said that the death worm may just be an illusion, although it is only a legend, but in order to find the tomb of Genghis Khan, there are still people who insist on searching.
This story makes us understand that although the death worm may be just a legend, its existence makes people full of anticipation and confidence in the existence of Genghis Khan's mausoleum. This is because, whether it is a nail tomb or a death worm, it is an important clue to find the tomb of Genghis Khan. They may be real or imaginary, but in any case, they add infinite possibilities to our path to find the tomb of Genghis Khan.
Today, the search for Genghis Khan's tomb has become an eternal dream for archaeologists and historians. Although no definitive evidence has been found to date, we believe that with the continuous development of science and technology and the innovation of archaeological methods, this mystery will one day be solved. And that day will become an important moment in the history of human civilization.
