Searching for Genghis Khan

— filed under: Community Event

For centuries, historians have wondered about the location of the tomb of Genghis Khan, the legendary ruler who united Mongolia’s feuding tribes and led them on a campaign of conquest unequaled in world history. Mongolian custom states that Genghis’s underground burial site was meant to stay hidden, and that disturbing the tomb would unleash a curse that would end the world. So the site has remained undiscovered, protected by a strong cultural taboo against entering this sacred place.
