Clues point to Ghenghis Khan's grave

Post by CVX »

GENGHIS Khan went to extraordinary lengths to conceal the location of his grave site, even after his death.

According to legend, the Mongolian despot’s huge burial party killed anyone who saw them en route to the site, and then servants and soldiers who attended the funeral were massacred.

Now archaeologists believe they could be close to finding the long-sought grave, after unearthing the site of his 13th-century palace.

A Japanese and Mongolian research team found the complex on a grassy steppe 150 miles east of the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bator, said Shinpei Kato, professor emeritus at Tokyo’s Kokugakuin University.

Ghenghis Khan united warring tribes to become leader of the Mongols in 1206. After his death, his descendants expanded his empire until it stretched from China to Hungary.

If he is there and John Kerry is elected President. Kerry will have him exhumed so he can pin a Vietnam Service Medal on him.

Only as a damage control measure to improve the morale of the troops after Kerry's rantings.
