The 13th century tomb of a man who was almost certainly a Mongol warlord has been located. Due to various factors, scientists believe that they have located the tomb of Genghis Khan.

The Mongol warlord was buried with a great deal of treasure, and also numerous other skeletons identified as the slaves who built the site, twelve horses, and sixteen female skeletons believed to be his wives and concubines.

It doesn't mention any ads placed in various and sundry locations within the tomb, or surrounding area.

Also, G. K. was wiley enough to have set up some authentic looking spoof buriel sites, so I am prone to be skeptical about this news.


ETConfess that I am likely to be a G. K. descendent, based on how I can whoop and holler while riding a horse.

Genghis Khan died in 1277. To the West, he is thought of as a bloodthirsty conqueror, but to Mongolians, he is the founder of their nation -- and is regarded with the same respect as George Washington is in America.


Unlike European conquerors, Temüjin (Genghis Khan is a title that literally means "oceanwide" or "universal ruler") did not ask his subjects to change their ways or religion -- only to pay taxes and live under his rule. If they rebelled, they were killed. If they submitted, they were allowed to live. In that respect, he was no more brutal than other famous rulers like Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar.

nor did he try to make the natives worship him as a god or change their beliefs.


Marco Polo described at length how the Pax Mongolica made travel safe and fostered trade:

Look at the credibility of that site. Here is an example from another article:

'The Annunnaki are believed to be the original inhabitants of Nibiru, the hidden planet from our solar system...

The Annunaki are also believed to be our creators according to the ancient Sumerian tablet'

That site is a tabloid promoting the absurd.
