Where is Genghis Khan's graveyard?

"Warriors, let's get on the horse!" This is what the first emperor Genghis Khan said when he led the Mongolian army to war, but now it inspires archaeologists all over the world to embark on the journey of "looking for Genghis Khan". Centuries have passed, and they have searched almost all over the Mongolian steppe. Some of them used mine detectors and even satellite photography technology, but they all returned empty-handed. Where Genghis Khan is buried seems to be an eternal mystery. Recently, a joint Japanese and Mongolian archaeological team announced that they had found the key to the mystery of Genghis Khan's mausoleum-Genghis Khan's "Miao Ling". If the identity of "Miao Ling" is confirmed, it will lock the Genghis Khan Mausoleum within the range of Fiona Fang12km. This may be the greatest archaeological discovery in 2 1 century. & lt& lt Origin: Genghis Khan Mausoleum was discovered? The Japanese-Mongolian joint archaeological team speaks amazingly >> Can they really find the mausoleum of Genghis Khan? The legendary "dense burial" made the mausoleum disappear. Genghis Khan's name is Temujin, who once unified the Mongolian ministries. Genghis Khan went to Xixia for the second time on 1226, and died in Xixia the following year. Genghis Khan also died in Lingzhou (now Lingwu County, Ningxia) at the age of 65. It is said that Genghis Khan's most loyal general carried his body back to his hometown and buried it in a hastily built mausoleum in accordance with the testamentary edict of "Don't send him to his funeral". After the burial, tens of thousands of horses were sent back to run, razed the cemetery, and then planted trees as forests and an independent tree as a tombstone. Subsequently, the chief general ordered 800 soldiers to kill all the craftsmen who built the mausoleum 1000, and the 800 soldiers immediately became silent. The secret of this "field" was finally brought into the grave. In order to facilitate Genghis Khan's relatives to find the cemetery in the future, the general in charge of burial killed a camel lamb in front of the grave, sprinkled blood on it, and sent cavalry to guard the grave. When the grass grew in the next spring, the cemetery was no different from other places, and the soldiers guarding the tomb withdrew. If children want to worship Genghis Khan, let the female camel who was killed at that time be the guide. Camels have the nature to recognize blood relatives, and the place where they stop to mourn is the Khan cemetery. It is said that there are treasures in the mausoleum. A Mongolian expert predicted that the Genghis Khan Mausoleum may contain a large number of rare treasures, and the handicrafts in it are even more spectacular than the terracotta warriors and horses unearthed from the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. This is not an alarmist, because Genghis Khan's tomb may contain priceless treasures collected from more than 20 kingdoms, which are the reasons that attract folk archaeological teams to advance one after another. Qin Dashu, a professor at Peking University Institute of Archaeology and Culture, said in an interview, "In fact, there is no record of the hidden treasure in the mausoleum in the literature. "There are two reasons for this rumor." Professor Qin said that first of all, a Persian wrote a book called History of World Conquerors, in which it was mentioned that Wokuotai succeeded to the throne after Genghis Khan's death. His first order was to divide the food for Genghis Khan's coffin for three days according to the custom, and select forty beautiful women from clans and families. They wore expensive clothes decorated with gold and precious stones and sacrificed with some fine horses. The other is that when a person in the west saw Kublai Khan's younger brother die, he was buried with a lot of jewelry and gold. It is speculated that there must be a little-known treasure in Genghis Khan's mausoleum. Where is the tomb hidden? "At present, archaeological experts from all over the world agree on four locations for the delineation of Genghis Khan's cemetery: one is located in the south of Mount Kent in Mongolia and north of the Krulen River; The second is Hang Ai Mountain in Mongolia; The third is Liupanshan, located in Ningxia, China; Fourthly, Li Qian is located in Otog Banner, Erdos City, Inner Mongolia, China. The first two are more likely. " Professor Qin said. "Archaeologists in China once found a family map of Genghis Khan in Li Qianshan, Inner Mongolia, with the heads of three wives and four sons of Genghis Khan painted on it. It is also possible that the mausoleum of Genghis Khan is buried here. " Professor Qin said, "Chengling is also found in China, but it is not the real mausoleum of Genghis Khan, but a place for sacrifice." "So far, there is no definite result about the location of Genghis Khan Mausoleum. Although explorers or archaeologists from China, Russian, Mongolian and other countries have put forward various opinions, there is no academic conclusion. " Bai Cuiqin, a researcher at the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of China Academy of Social Sciences, said. & lt& lt China experts say: Genghis Khan Mausoleum has been locked by Japanese and Mongolians? Historians in China call it premature >:> American billionaires explore at their own expense. On July 23, 2000, a Boeing 747 plane landed slowly in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, and a group of people got out of the plane. They are American explorer Muri Kravitz and his special archaeological expedition composed of scientists, archaeology professors and translators. Their task is to find the mysterious tomb of Genghis Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty. Kravitz, 68, said that Mongolians have great respect for Genghis Khan, so when he first proposed his exploration plan to the Mongolian government, the Mongolian government threw cold water on him. But he didn't give up and decided to go to Mongolia in person to win the favor of the Mongols with his own practical actions. So he took out almost all his savings and lived in Mongolia for six years, trying every means to please the Mongols. Did the poisonous snake make them give up the adventure? In April 2002, the archaeological team found a cemetery surrounded by city walls in Bashi Park Jung Su Town, Kent Province, 322 kilometers northeast of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, which contained at least 30 unopened graves. This ancient tomb is called "most likely the tomb of Genghis Khan". However, four months later, the archaeological team suddenly gave up the excavation and withdrew from Mongolia. It is said that during the investigation, some staff members of the American archaeological team were bitten by many poisonous snakes that suddenly gushed from the tomb wall. Their vehicles parked on the hillside slipped down the hillside for no reason, and the archaeological team decided to give up the excavation. However, the fact is that the archaeological team is said to have been stopped by the Mongolian government and people. & lt& lt Archaeological Continuation: Exploring Genghis Khan Palace in Search of a Generation of Tianjiao Cemetery >> Discovery of Miao Ling Site 10 On June 6th, a joint Japanese and Mongolian archaeological team discovered a quadrilateral pedestal built in the 5th century from 13 to 150 miles from Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Below the Miao Ling Temple is a stone platform that is almost in ruins. There are many potholes hidden under the stone platform, and there are many ashes and bones of war horses buried inside. Judging from the number of war horse remains, the owner of this mausoleum is in an unusual position. Archaeologists believe that this stone platform should be the original foundation of the mausoleum. In Miao Ling Temple, a "convex" stone wall about 40 cm high was also found, with traces of fire on it, and a pit of ash was found around the altar. In addition, in the south of Miao Ling, an incense burner engraved with a dragon pattern as a symbol of the emperor was unearthed, which is consistent with the records in Persian history books14th century. Professor Shiraishi Desuke of Niigata University, Japan, one of the leaders of the archaeological excavation team, said that within 7 miles of this tomb, there are tombs of Mongolian leaders of past dynasties. There are indications that this should be the legendary Genghis Khan Mausoleum. Did you really find the mausoleum of Genghis Khan? "Miao Ling has appeared since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, Miao Ling was built in every tomb area for future generations to sacrifice." Professor Qin said: "It is possible to find a mausoleum in the temple, but this time it is hard to say whether it has really been found." A few days ago, Mr. Chen Dezhi, a 7 1 year-old professor at Nanjing University, an authoritative person studying Mongolian yuan dynasty history in China, pointed out that the location of Genghis Khan's Mausoleum could not be determined only by these relics. Not only the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, but also the tombs of four emperors in Yuan Dynasty 14 have not been discovered so far, which is caused by the royal secret burial system in Yuan Dynasty. Is the mausoleum of Genghis Khan really a secret that can never be revealed? When Mongolian President bagabandy visited China, CCTV reporter Shui Junyi specially asked him about the mausoleum in an interview. Bagabandy's answer is unique: "Genghis Khan said in his will that his mausoleum will never be known to the world. We obey Genghis Khan's wishes. I don't think it matters where the mausoleum of Genghis Khan is ... let it always be a riddle-like question, and let those who are willing to guess the answer continue to guess. " ■ Original news According to Xinhua News Agency1October 8, recently, a joint archaeological team composed of Mongolian and Japanese archaeologists discovered the foundation of an ancient building at the site of Aboulag Palace in R Khan County, Kent Province, Mongolia. Archaeologists think it may be the holy land of Genghis Khan. The investigation of Genghis Khan Mausoleum by the Japanese-Mongolian joint archaeological team began in 200 1 year, and the archaeological excavation is expected to end in 2007. Professor Norsuke Shiraishi of Niigata University in Japan is one of the leaders of the excavation team. He said that within seven miles of this tomb, there are tombs of Mongolian leaders of all ages. ■ The palace site excavated by the Japanese is not the mausoleum of Genghis Khan. Liu, director of the Cultural Relics Bureau of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, who just returned from a visit to Mongolia, told reporters that recently, some news media at home and abroad are very interested in finding the mausoleum of Genghis Khan. Some reports even claimed that the joint archaeological team of Japan and Mongolia recently discovered the mausoleum of Genghis Khan near Ulaanbaatar. He believes that this is a kind of hype, and some foreign archaeological teams are building momentum to expand their influence, and the actual progress is not great. According to Liu, since the death of Genghis Khan 777 years ago, people have been paying attention to the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, and the search for the mausoleum has never been interrupted. In recent ten years, this kind of activity has gradually warmed up. Hungary, Poland, the United States, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada, Russia, Turkey, South Korea and other countries. , have invested a lot of manpower and material resources to find the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, basically fruitless. Among them, the United States and Mongolia joint archaeological team used advanced equipment, which lasted for three years and achieved nothing. Liu told reporters that there are many statements and records about Genghis Khan's secret burial place, but most of them are legends, and their authenticity needs further research. To be sure, in June 5438+10/early October, the "Japan-Mongolia Joint Archaeological Team" excavated only a palace site near Ulaanbaatar, not the mausoleum of Genghis Khan. According to the funeral custom of nomadic people, Genghis Khan will not be buried in or near the palace. Genghis Khan has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter (Mongolian means palace tent or camp, also known as Erdo), and every season he lives in another Erdo. Liu said that the Japanese-Mongolian joint archaeological team only excavated the palace building site of one of the camps. Judging from the current situation, the palace site excavated by the Japanese is not the mausoleum of Genghis Khan.
