Where is the tomb of Genghis Khan?

Genghis Khan made a will in the military during his lifetime: no secret funeral will be held after his death unless Xixia is destroyed. After the death of Genghis Khan, the Mongolian army did not mourn secretly. Instead, with a strong sense of revenge, they executed the Xixia King Li Yan who came to beg for surrender, and then swept through Xixia with their iron cavalry.

Documentary records say, "Genghis Khan was in Dinghai for twenty-two years, but unexpectedly it was in the seventh month of autumn. He fell in the palace of Su Richuan, an old disciple, and lived for sixty-six years." According to historical legends, after Genghis Khan died, his body was transported back to his hometown, his mausoleum was buried deep, his war horses were razed to the ground, and his cemetery was planted in the forest. This burial method is different from that of the Central Plains emperors. Mongolian Khans used this method to keep secrets and prevent future generations from robbing their tombs.

Since then, Genghis Khan’s tomb has never appeared in any Chinese historical materials, and the real tombs of Yuan Dynasty emperors have rarely been discovered. There are many opinions about the burial place of Genghis Khan, one is in Qipilang Gorge, one is in Burhan Mountain, one is in the grassland of Inner Mongolia, and the other is in a certain mountain in Gansu.

The Genghis Khan Mausoleum built in present-day Yijinhuoluo Banner, Inner Mongolia is not the real Temujin Mausoleum. It was built in 1954 as a cemetery to commemorate and worship Temujin. It is said that more than 700 years ago, when Temujin led his troops passing by, he took a fancy to the Feng Shui here and praised it as "a place of revival in times of decline, a place of residence in times of peace and prosperity, a place where sika deer grow, and a place where white-haired old men rest."< /p>

Then Genghis Khan said he was buried here after his death. "Ejinhoro" means "the master's cemetery" in Mongolian. But in fact, archaeologists discovered that there is no tomb of Genghis Khan in Yijinhuoluo Banner.
