Where is the tomb of Genghis Khan? Really nobody knows?

More than 700 years ago, Genghis Khan, a generation of Tianjiao, rose in Mobei, wrapped in rolling fighters on the Mongolian grassland, spreading the smoke of war throughout Eurasia and playing an unprecedented grand movement. Temujin's name resounded throughout the world, and he became a terrible and invincible conqueror.

However, no matter how tough a hero is, he can't defeat the laws of nature after all. Temujin is also a mortal, and he can't escape. 1227 In August, Temujin died in Liupanshan on his way to Xixia.

Legend has it that Genghis Khan left three wills before his death: first, Wokuotai inherited the great Khan position. The second is to use the disharmony between Song and Jin to unite Song to destroy Jin. Third, after his death, keep his funeral secret and make sure that no one knows his burial place.

And his cemetery, many countries have been looking for it so far, and nothing has been found, and it has never left any trace in history.

So where is the tomb of Genghis Khan Temujin most likely?

Before answering the question, let's talk about why Temujin's tomb is hard to find.

First, Temujin's burial place is very secret.

After Temujin's death, his generals obeyed Khan's orders. Do you want to mourn? The most loyal generals transported the body back to their hometown. After the completion of the mausoleum, Genghis Khan's body was buried deep underground. After the burial, tens of thousands of horses were sent back to run, the cemetery was leveled, and then trees were planted. Subsequently, the general ordered 800 soldiers to kill all the craftsmen who built the tomb 1000. These 800 soldiers immediately silenced to prevent the burial site from being exposed, so that Genghis Khan's tomb could never be disturbed.

According to another legend, after Genghis Khan was buried, in order to keep secret, in addition to Mata cemetery, an independent tree was used as a tombstone. In order to find the cemetery in the future, a camel lamb was killed on Genghis Khan's grave, and the blood of the lamb was sprinkled on it, and cavalry was sent to guard the tomb. When the grass grew the next spring and the cemetery could not be distinguished from other places, the soldiers guarding the tomb retreated. If children miss Genghis Khan, let the female camel who was killed at that time act as a guide to attract people to worship.

Second, the funeral customs of Mongols.

Mongols believe in shamanism. They regard people as a part of nature and think that the body is taken from nature and will naturally return to the earth after death. Mongols must be buried three days after their death. Or buried in the sky, or buried in the soil, or cremated. If the rotting body is not buried, then the soul has nothing to cling to, let alone go to heaven.

Therefore, when the Mongols sacrifice, they mainly sacrifice the souls of their ancestors, not the bodies. According to the belief of shamanism, when a person dies, his soul will attach to the camel hair nearest him, leaving only his last breath. Before Temujin died, his men took the mane of a white male wolf pack and attached his soul to this camel hair. Now this camel's hair quilt is placed in Temujin's cenotaph.

So after the Mongols died, they didn't pay much attention to where the bones were buried. On the contrary, I attach great importance to the place where the soul is placed. The place where the soul belongs is the place where future generations sacrifice, which also increases the difficulty of finding Temujin's tomb.

So where is the tomb of Genghis Khan Temujin most likely?

In recent years, archaeologists from all over the world have investigated Temujin's mausoleum, and various clues are pouring in.

In 2002, an American archaeologist also claimed to have found a tomb suspected of Temujin more than 300 kilometers northeast of Ulaanbaatar.

In the same year, Russian experts suggested that Temujin's cemetery should be in Tuva, Russia.

At present, archaeological experts from all over the world agree with four positions in the delineation of Genghis Khan's cemetery:

First, it is located in the south of Mount Kent in Mongolia and north of the Krulun 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.

Archaeologists in China once found a family map of Genghis Khan in Liqianshan, Inner Mongolia, with the heads of three wives and four sons of Genghis Khan painted on it. It is also possible that Genghis Khan's mausoleum is buried here.

Recently, a joint archaeological team from Japan and Mongolia announced that they had discovered something that might solve the mystery of Genghis Khan? The key belongs to Genghis Khan? Miao Ling? What if? Miao Ling? If the identity is confirmed, the Genghis Khan Mausoleum will be locked within the range of Fiona Fang12km in Miao Ling.

This may be the greatest archaeological discovery in 2 1 century.

In short, Temujin's cemetery is still unknown.

Summary: Is Genghis Khan Mausoleum really a secret that can never be revealed? To borrow a sentence from Mongolian President bagabandy during his visit to China, Genghis Khan said in his will that his mausoleum will never be known to the world. We obey Genghis Khan's wishes. In my opinion, it doesn't matter where the mausoleum of Genghis Khan is. Let it be a mystery forever, and let those who are willing to guess the answer continue to guess. ?
