Chapter 487: Suspicious Case

But in this way, the Genghis Khan Mausoleum has also experienced a lot of twists and turns in the turbulence of history, the Genghis Khan Mausoleum has not been in the Ordos Yijin Horo Banner, in 1939, the Genghis Khan Mausoleum has moved west to Xinglong Mountain, Yuzhong County, Gansu Province.

In 1937, "Seven? After the Seventh" Incident, driven by the policy of "if you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchu and Mongolia," the Japanese invaders successively occupied most of the western part of Inner Mongolia, and in late October of that year, they established a puppet Mongolian Union autonomous government in Guisui and renamed Guisui "Houhehot City."

At this time, the Japanese invaders saw that Genghis Khan's Mausoleum had an extremely lofty and sacred status among the Mongols, so they wanted to use Genghis Khan's Mausoleum as a bargaining chip to blackmail the Mongolian princes and nobles, so as to achieve another goal of making the Mongols become the Japanese invaders after the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo, so they started the idea of Genghis Khan's Mausoleum in the spring of 1939.

At that time, the Japanese military secretly sent spies to infiltrate the territory of the Yikezhao League (now Ordos City) in Inner Mongolia, pretending to be Mongols, and secretly met with the princes of various banners, and tried to persuade them to support the Japanese military in relocating Chengling to the Japanese-occupied area. He also wanted to go to Suiyuan with the princes of the banners who attended the meeting, but the princes of the banners represented by the king of Changsha of the Yikezhao League categorically refused.

Seeing that this proposal was rejected, the Japanese coerced Ah Wang, the deputy head of the Yikezhao League, who had been ordered to go to Baotou to make a fake surrender, to write to the king of Sha, "Since you don't want to move to Chengling, then invite Genghis Khan's weapon 'Suled' to Baotou for sacrifice." In order to achieve the purpose of encircling the whole Inner Mongolian people around the pseudo-Mongolian Zhengquan.

The sand king made a fake "Sured" and sent it to Baotou, so as to block the mouth of the Japanese devils. However, with some miscellaneous troops of the Kuomintang stationed in the Iraq League at that time, as well as the security forces of various banners, this force could not compete with the Japanese army at all, and the security of Genghis Khan's Mausoleum was still threatened, so there was a move of "moving Genghis Khan's Mausoleum to the west".

It is really because of the constant changes in history, and the exact location of Genghis Khan's mausoleum has always been controversial. As for the specific location of Genghis Khan's burial site, four theories have been roughly formed over the years: first, it is located in the south of Mount Kent and north of the Krulun River in Mongolia; the second is located in the territory of Etuoke Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia; the third is located in the north of Xingjiang, Altay Mountain; The fourth is Liupan Mountain, which is located in Ningxia. For more than 700 years, the main reason why the tomb of Genghis Khan has not been found is that the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty implemented a secret burial system, that is, the burial place of the emperor's tomb is not marked, announced, or recorded.

The basis for Mount Kent in Mongolia is that the relevant historical records record that one day before Genghis Khan's death, he once sat and meditated for a long time under an elm tree in the tomb of Genghis Khan on Mount Kent, and then suddenly stood up and said to his followers: "I will be buried here when I die." The notes of the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty also record that after Genghis Khan died of illness in Ningxia, his body was transported to a place at the foot of Kent Mountain in Mobei and buried in a deep pit on the surface. His body was stored in a single wooden coffin. The so-called single-plank coffin is a section of the tree that is cut off and hollowed out in the middle to make a coffin. After the coffin is buried, the tomb soil is backfilled, and then "ten thousand horses are flattened".

The basis for being in the territory of the Etoke Banner of Ordos City will be explained in detail later.

In the vicinity of Sandaohai in Qinghe County, where the Altay Mountains are located in the north of Xingjiang, it is based on the fact that archaeologists have discovered an artificially modified mountain in the area, which is speculated to be the burial tomb of Genghis Khan. One of the corroborations is Marco? Polo in his book "Marco? Polo's Travels reads: "On the way to the Altay Mountains for the monarch's coffin, the escort took all the people he met along the way as martyrs. ”

The basis for Liupan Mountain in Ningxia is that it is recorded that Genghis Khan died near Liupan Mountain in the midsummer of 1227 during the attack on Western Xia. According to this, some archaeological experts believe that according to the past customs of the Mongolian people, people should be disposed of within 3 days of death, or buried in the sky, or cremated, in order to fear that the body will rot and the soul will not go to heaven. Therefore, there is a high probability that Genghis Khan would be buried in situ after his death.

For hundreds of years, the location of Genghis Khan's burial after his death has been a mystery. Kazakh historian Vladimir? In an interview with reporters a few days ago, Oskolkov said that according to his research, Genghis Khan was buried in Kazakhstan after his death. He revealed that a request had been made to the relevant authorities to go to the relevant site for field exploration. This adds another narrative to the already confusing mystery of Genghis Khan's burial ground.

According to Oskolkov, Genghis Khan's burial place is located in the Leninnogorsk region (formerly known as "Rigel") in Kazakhstan.

Oskolkov said that Genghis Khan personally designated an inaccessible place in the Altai Mountains as his future burial place, Oskolkov said. According to Oskolkov's research, this place is located in the Leninnogorsk region of Kazakhstan (formerly known as "Rigel"). Archaeologists have found Stone Age human remains there, but no Bronze Age and Iron Age human remains. Oskolkov believes that this is most likely artificial, that is, it has been artificially demarcated as a no-go zone. From this, he determined that this was the so-called "forbidden area of Genghis Khan's cemetery".

A Mongolian expert predicted that Genghis Khan's tomb may contain a large number of treasures, and the artefacts inside are even more spectacular than the terracotta warriors and horses unearthed from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. This is not alarmist. Genghis Khan's tomb may contain priceless treasures from more than 20 kingdoms that he spent on his expeditions, which is what has attracted the archaeological community to search for them for many years.

According to a number of domestic and foreign media reports, in August 2000, the American explorer and billionaire Murray? Kraviz led his team of scientists, archaeology professors, and translators on an archaeological expedition to Ulaanbaatar in search of Genghis Khan's tomb. Kravez's plan was initially resisted by the Mongol government, but he spent almost all of his savings and lived in Mongolia for six years before convincing the Mongol government and attracting two prominent local history professors to join the expedition.

On August 16, 2001, Kravitz's archaeological team discovered a walled cemetery in the forest more than 300 kilometers northeast of Ulaanbaatar, containing dozens of unopened mausoleums. The expedition thus announced to the outside world that "the tomb of Genghis Khan had been found", but it was later turned out to be the tomb of the Huns.
