Genghis Khan’s tomb. Why can’t we find it?

This is just some short notes. 



  • He asked to be buried in secret.
  •   his soldiers rode 1,000 horses over his grave to hide any trace of construction.
  • 800 year since death of Khan but no one has found his grave.
  •   People tried to find the grave many times but failed.
  • Locals don’t want him found because they respect him. And he didn’t want to be found.
  • Mongolia is 3x the side of England but has 2% of roads so more hidden areas unfound by man.
  • Gov rejected peacefully the search of grave.
  • Many believe grave will be filled with treasure.
  •   Folklore says that Genghis Khan was buried on a peak in the Khentii Mountains called Burkhan Khaldun.
  • But the mountains are only for royals even women can’t visit.



    Khan made the places he conquered a better place. Doing things like making slavery illegal.
    I think his grave should not be disturbed. The Egyptians made the pyramids so they wouldn’t be disturbed, and Khan went to even more trouble. He deserves not to be bothered.
