Through spiritual detection, Han Kongque discovered an almost ruined stone platform beneath the temple. There were many pits hidden under the stone platform, and the ashes and bones of many war horses were buried in them.
I looked carefully and found nothing of value, but judging from the number of war horse remains, the status of the owner here was extraordinary.
Han Peacock judged that this stone platform should be a palace or the original foundation of a mausoleum.
In the spiritual temple, Han Kongque also found a "convex"-shaped stone wall about 40 centimeters high when viewed from above, with traces of fire on it, and pits for burying ashes were found around the base.
Seeing this, Han Kongque already knew that this might not be Genghis Khan's mausoleum, and even if there was a mausoleum, it wouldn't be in this area.
Although he had such an idea, Han Peacock still searched carefully. Han Peacock took the spiritual temple as the center and searched outwards in circles. When he arrived at the south side of the spiritual temple, Han Peacock also found the inscribed inscription
The incense burner with dragon-shaped pattern as a symbol of the emperor is consistent with the records in Persian history books in the 14th century.
After the search was over and ten kilometers away, Han Kongque and the others discovered again. There were many tombs here, which could be said to be densely distributed.
Han Peacock knew that the tombs here were the tombs of Mongolian leaders from various eras. Those tombs were the first to be discovered by the Americans, and all these signs indicated that there should be the long-legendary Genghis Khan's tomb here.
Of course, it should only be there. Whether it is here or not, only God knows.
For an emperor, an emperor who thinks highly of himself, any choice he makes is normal, so it is really normal not to be buried with the leaders of the past generations.
Therefore, it is definitely not easy to find where it is. If it were so easy to find, Genghis Khan's mausoleum would not have remained undiscovered for more than 800 years.
"Can you really find the tomb of Genghis Khan here?" asked the golden demon.
"Ling temples have appeared since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Every tomb area in the Song Dynasty would have a spiritual temple for descendants to offer sacrifices." Han Kongque said: "It is possible to find a mausoleum when you find a spiritual temple, but is it true this time?
It’s hard to tell if we have discovered the spiritual temple.”
"That wasn't a spiritual temple just now?" Huangshan asked strangely.
Han Kongque shook his head and said: "It is impossible to determine the location of Genghis Khan's mausoleum based on these remains alone."
Seeing that they didn't understand, Han Kongque said again: "Not only the tomb of Genghis Khan, but also the tombs of the 14 emperors of the Yuan Dynasty have not been discovered so far. This is caused by the royal secret burial system of the Yuan Dynasty."
"Is Genghis Khan's mausoleum really a secret that can never be revealed?" Mu Ling said with a little regret.
"Since a spiritual temple has been discovered here, no matter which emperor it belongs to, there must be one, right?" Jin Yao said.
Han Kongque shook his head and said: "The tomb system of the Yuan Dynasty is very special, so seeing the temple does not mean finding the tomb. Otherwise, not even a Yuan Dynasty imperial mausoleum can be found. Of course, there is also the origin of this place.
Reasons for residents’ obstruction.”
Han Peacock knew that when Mongolian President Bagabandi visited China, CCTV reporter Shui Junyi specifically raised the issue of the mausoleum with him during the interview.
Bagabandi’s answer was very clever: “Genghis Khan said in his will that his mausoleum should never be known to the world. We follow Genghis Khan’s will. I think Genghis Khan’s mausoleum should be wherever it is.
It doesn't matter...let it always remain a riddle, and let those who are willing to guess the answer continue to guess the answer."
After looking around here, Han Peacock knew that the palace ruins excavated by the Japanese were not the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan.
Recently, some domestic and foreign news media have been very interested in the search for Genghis Khan's mausoleum. Some reports even claimed that a joint archaeological team from Japan and Mongolia had recently found Genghis Khan's mausoleum near Ulaanbaatar.
Han Peacock now knows that this is basically a kind of hype. This is basically some foreign archaeological team building momentum to expand their influence, and the actual progress is not much.
It has been almost 800 years since the death of Genghis Khan, the great genius of the generation. Genghis Khan's mausoleum has always attracted people's attention, and the search for Genghis Khan's mausoleum has not stopped.
In the past ten years, this kind of activity has gradually heated up. More than ten countries, including Hungary, Poland, the United States, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada, Russia, Turkey, and South Korea, have invested a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out the Genghis Khan Mausoleum.
The search for a job was basically fruitless.
Among them, the joint archaeological team from the United States and Outer Mongolia used advanced equipment to search for three years but found nothing.
There are many theories and records about Genghis Khan's secret burial place, but most of them are legends, and their authenticity needs further verification.
What is certain is that the recent "Japan-Mongolia Joint Archaeological Team" excavated near Ulaanbaatar only the remains of a palace, not the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan.
According to the funeral customs of nomadic people, Genghis Khan would not be buried in or near the palace.
Genghis Khan had four seasons of Ordo (meaning palace tent or camp in Mongolian, also called Ordo), and he lived in a different Ordo every season.
The joint archaeological team of Japan and Mongolia excavated only the remains of a palace building in one of the camps.
Although the Japan-Mongolia joint archaeological team made shocking claims, judging from the current situation, the palace ruins excavated by the Japanese were not the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan.
For eight hundred years, archaeologists all over the world have wanted to know where the mausoleum of Genghis Khan is. However, several world-famous archaeological teams have been "defeated in Maicheng" one after another.
"If anyone has found the key to the mystery of Genghis Khan's mausoleum, it must be the Japanese-Mongolian archaeological team." After wandering around for a while, he returned to the vicinity of the mausoleum, so Mu Ling sighed a little.
"This is not certain. If the identity of the temple is confirmed, Genghis Khan's mausoleum will be located within a 12-kilometer radius of the temple. However, even if this is the case, it cannot be said to be the work of the Japanese. In fact, this place has long been occupied.
Someone discovered it." Han Kongque said while exploring the underground situation of the temple.
"Didn't the Japanese discover it?" Mu Ling asked strangely.
Korean Peacock is looking for who this temple belongs to. This is very important. If it can be determined that this temple is Genghis Khan's "spiritual temple", then it will be better than the "Troy" archeology and the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.
Even more exciting, it may become the greatest archaeological discovery of the 21st century.
On the 25-meter square base, within an area of about 11 meters square, Han Kongque discovered the foundation stone and pillar holes that are the remains of the spiritual temple. Since no tiles or bricks were found, it was speculated that the building above should be a tent.
After studying for a while, Han Kongque believed that this stone platform should be the original foundation of a palace.
A pit containing ashes and horse bones was found around the base of the altar. Han Kongque believed that this was evidence of "rice-burning" rituals such as burning horses for sacrifice, which is consistent with records in Chinese history books!
Although there are so many discoveries, it cannot be identified as a temple to worship Genghis Khan, so the tomb cannot be locked within a radius of 12 kilometers.
"This place has actually been discovered a long time ago. The Japanese and Mongolian archaeological teams are actually just making a fool of themselves." After wandering around for a while, they found nothing, and Han Kongque said disappointedly.
"Has this been discovered? Will someone else discover it first?" Jin Yao said.
"Actually, the Japan-Mongolia joint archaeological team only found the general area where Genghis Khan's mausoleum is located, and this area had been confirmed by experts from the former Soviet Union as early as 1925." Han Kongque said.
"This area is the 'Qi Chao Valley' recorded in the "History of the Yuan Dynasty"." Han Peacock took out a copy of the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" from the space and turned to the record of "Benji" in one click: "Life span is sixty-six years, burial is
"Chariot Valley".
"Qi Nian Valley" is located east of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, at the southernmost end of the north-south Kent Mountains. It is an east-west branch.
Legend has it that Genghis Khan's hearse drove here and got stuck in the mud. Everyone knelt down and worshiped, and then shouted "Rise the chariot". The hearse actually started, and "Rise the Chariot Valley" got its name from this.
However, according to Han Kongque's research, "Qi Nian Valley" is a pure transliteration of the word. In the Yuan Dynasty, the mountain was called "Qu Neighbor". When it was translated into Chinese, it was given a Chinese homophony of "Qi Nian Valley".
As early as the 1920s, Vladimirtsov, an expert on the history of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the former Soviet Union, conducted an inspection of this area and wrote the "Language and Archaeological Survey Report" in 1925, confirming that Genghis Khan's mausoleum was located here.
.
Why did Genghis Khan choose Qu Neighbor Mountain as his burial place?
It turns out that this is the starting point for Genghis Khan to achieve world hegemony - it was here that Genghis Khan first called himself khan and established his own tent, Orduo.
Therefore, being buried here is sacred and commemorative.
On the map of the "Chinese Historical Atlas - Yuan Dynasty Volume" published in 1982, the location of Qu Neighbor Mountain has been clearly marked.
"So Genghis Khan's mausoleum should be within a hundred miles. The specific side needs to be further verified." Han Kongque finally said.
The main basis for the Japanese-Mongolian archaeological team's claim to have locked Genghis Khan's mausoleum within a 10-mile radius is the discovery of a spiritual temple, an altar and a horse pit, and also unearthed utensils with dragon-shaped patterns, which are similar to the ones discovered by Korean peacocks.
Like an incense burner with dragon-shaped patterns.
Han Kongque believes that the location of Genghis Khan's mausoleum cannot be determined based on these remains alone.
"History of the Yuan Dynasty - Sacrifice Chronicles" records that after the emperor was buried in Chaan Valley, "three funeral officials lived five miles away. They cooked meals once a day to offer sacrifices, and then returned after three years."
Therefore, it is theoretically feasible to lock the tomb through surface sacrificial remains. The key question is that since Genghis Khan was buried here, all the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were buried here in secret, and each one had to offer sacrifices. How can we identify it as Genghis Khan's tomb?
