Where is Genghis Khan's graveyard? What's in it? What are the secrets you can't tell?

Over the years, there have been four opinions about the specific location of Genghis Khan's cemetery: one is located in the south of Mount Kent in Mongolia and north of the Krulun River; Second, it is located in Otog Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia; The third is located in Altay Mountain in northern Xinjiang; The fourth is Liupan Mountain in Ningxia. For more than 700 years, the main reason why Genghis Khan's mausoleum has not been discovered is that the royal family in the Yuan Dynasty implemented the secret burial system, that is, the burial place of the emperor's mausoleum was not marked, announced or recorded.

Based on Mount Kent in Mongolia, according to relevant historical records, Genghis Khan sat under an elm tree in Mount Kent for a long time before his death, and then suddenly stood up and said to his followers, "I will be buried here after my death." It is also recorded in the notes of scholars in the Southern Song Dynasty that after Genghis Khan died in Xixia, his body was transported to a place under the Kent Mountain in Mobei and buried in a deep pit on the surface. His body was kept in a wooden coffin. The so-called wooden coffin is to cut a section of a big tree and hollow it out to make a coffin. After the wooden coffin is buried, backfill the grave soil, and then "Wan Ma Pingchuan". The basis in the territory of Otog Banner in Ordos City will be introduced in detail later.

Near Sandaohai, Qinghe County, where Altay Mountains are located in northern Xinjiang, an archaeologist found an artificially reconstructed mountain peak in this area, and it is speculated that it may be the tomb of Genghis Khan. One of the evidences is that Kyle Polo wrote in his Travels of Marco Polo: "On the way to transport the monarch's coffin to Altay Mountain, the escort will regard everyone he meets as a martyr".

The basis of Liupan Mountain in Ningxia is that Genghis Khan died near Liupan Mountain in the midsummer of 1227 when he attacked Xixia. According to this, some archaeologists believe that according to the Mongolian custom in the past, people should be disposed of within three days after death, or buried in the sky, or buried in the soil, or cremated, so as to avoid the decay of the body and prevent the soul from going to heaven. So Genghis Khan is likely to be buried on the spot after his death.
