I am Mongolian and came across numerous archeological sites whenever I travel to the countryside. Once an archeologist told me it is easy to locate graves as they have stone indications on the surface but the majority of the graves are empty because it was tradition for enemies to dig each other's ancestors graves as a sign of humiliation and disrespect. Most of the graves were dug up and emptied hundreds of years ago. Since Mongolian empire always consisted of tribes perhaps that is why he wanted to hide his grave.

It’s surprising that people do have good side of Chingis. Actually his life was very humble and simple. Only role of ruler made him look like a tough one or bad. But as an orphan he devoted to his family and his land, stood against all odds, yet, he just did everything he had to, nothing extraordinary, but later on his reputations grew bigger but he was still temujin.

I have a thought why it's unlocatable. Let's set aside the essentially mythological stuff like the notion that everyone associated with the funerary procession was killed so that no living person remained who knew where he was interred. It may simply be explained by no part of his body now existing, nor having existed for centuries. With in ground interments, depending on soil chemistry, no discernible trace of a person may remain after as little as 30 years. He died almost 800 years ago. He mouldered and there isn't so much as bones or teeth left.

Khan's Tomb has been known for centuries. It is ontop of Burkhan Khaldun, a Mongol sacred mountain in the Khentii Mountain Range.

If he truly had 2,000 people plus soldiers killed after his funeral, then they should be looking for mass graves. That would point them in the right direction, since that's far too many bodies to move and where they were killed is probably where they were buried. They probably didn't travel too far from his tomb before being killed, so his grave would be within proximity to the mass grave.

I would like to correct a fact. Genghis did come to India, but he returned from the border. He never captured India. Nobody knows why he did that.

[@TonyStark-ir2vk]

Its because, there was no need of him to capture India at the time... At the time, there was a invasion going on throughout china and iran, and also, the Land was completely new to Genghis khan and his army. Given the fact that, he already had a pretty big Kingdom to rule, Entering into a New Unknown Land was completely not necessary for him at the time. That is why, He never invaded india

Actually, Ghengis Khan was claimed to be Turk by himself and always used Turkish in govermental and daily (when their writings translated to Latin it turned out to be Turkish). And it's written "Cengiz Han" in Turkish and his real name is "Timuçin". I am not a historian tho and as far as I know this is a topic disscussed a lot. So don't come at me please guys.

There's no tomb. And if there was it has Sunk ages ago beneath the waves.

[@WildWombats]

@@KarlJayce Uh, I'm gonna need evidence to back that up. As we have multiple accounts of people visiting Alexander The Great's tomb site up to 390 AD. From 323 BC to 390 AD. That's over 600 years of recorded history where people throughout the times record visiting it. There is a theory it was destroyed after Christianity took over to prevent worship of anyone who may be deemed as a god, since the last recorded mention was in 390 AD. There is another theory his tomb was moved to a Catholic Church after Christianity took over, as Paganism generally wasn't tolerated from a monotheistic religion. Unless you just mean that it's probably been destroyed by now, it definitely did exist, the mystery is just finding it, or at least the remains of it.

[@anishbiswas7509]

Love your series. Always look forward to it. One fact correction however. Genghis Khan never conquered India during his lifetme. He could have if he wanted to. Atleast a good part of northern India. Later successor of the Mongols, a branched out family of the great Khan, ruled over the subcontinent as the "Mughals". The Mughals however, identified themselves as "hindustani" (Indian" in ancient sense) with their roots in far away Samarkand. This additional link might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3-ciZqti62pgZY

Lot of effort and reverence for a murderous monster of history, but I suppose this sick world wouldn't be quite right if the greatest of them all was left lost to history. Interesting stuff, thanks for the vid.

[@thedemonking0013]

History often paints him as the worse of all.But in truth he was just one of the most successful. There have been countless terrible people in history. In his rise to power he was against a lot of other cheifs who were either equally as bad if not worse. In the end many did willingly choose to follow him and only him. If you look at the Mongols before him it was just a bunch of warring tribes that sometimes got along and had loose alliances. One reval chief was his main competition. That chief would have people boiled alive which was seen as a taboo or a violation so he lost favor with most people. Khan was no doubt was cold but by far worse monsters have existed it just happens Khan built a lasting empire that had an effect that is felt to this day. His reverence was so great but it's not because he was a murdrous psychopath if that was the case he would be remembers more like Vlad the impalor. There are two sides to his story. The world outside often chooses to focus on the part stained in blood. His actions shaped the world as a whole.

RISK is easily top two board games ever made. Tied with Monopoly imo. Me, my friends, cousins, and father would play it regularly. The secret to victory is do everything you possibly can to take Australia as early as possible to act as a fortress to build up your army. Because it has only ONE entry point there's zero chance of fighting multiple fronts so you can sit and build your army while everyone else kills each other on many fronts. Also the 2 bonus units (ideally) from turn one is a BIG advantage. That's what my dad did and I only ever saw him lose one time to one of my buds, and guess why? It's because he got Australia before my dad did lololol
