Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Han Kongque speculated that the top floor of the fourth floor was the foundation of a sacrificial hall. The foundation was "convex" shaped and made of stones. It was 111 meters long from east to west and 79 meters wide from north to south. There were two walls outside the foundation.  The stone foundation is 40 centimeters high and dates from 1310 to 1410. On this foundation, Han Kongque also found fragments of sacrificial incense burners and ceramic fragments from the Cizhou Kiln and Jingdezhen Kiln in the 14th century.  In addition, on the top of the "convex" shape, there is something made of adobe. Han Peacock thought it might be a table.  A black mark with a diameter of 60 centimeters was also found on the foundation, which Han Kongque concluded was caused by long-term fires.  The bottom of the ¡°convex¡±-shaped foundation is the main entrance, and there are pillar bases on both sides.  Based on the excavated objects and historical records, Han Kongque believes that this foundation may be the foundation of the sacrificial hall used to worship Genghis Khan, so the bases on both sides of the main entrance should be the target.  After several days of digging, Han Kongque finally found a special box under the base of a doorpost. The box should be made of stone, so it is still intact. It seems that Liu Min thought at that time that it might be needed  It would take a long time for his descendants to find his secret treasure, so preparations were made for long-term preservation.  The stone box is simply closed and easy to open, with only a piece of parchment inside.  After carefully opening it, Han Peacock discovered that the parchment was covered with wax, so after eight hundred years, the parchment was still so white and had not even turned yellow.  When Han Peacock saw this parchment, he knew that a secret that would never be known had been cracked by him.  "What is this?" Looking at the map, Mu Ling looked confused.  Han Kongque said with a smile: "Can't you see the direction here? Mountains, valleys, grasslands, rivers, only these reference points can withstand the test of history, and can we still determine our goals eight hundred years later."  "Liu Min is really smart." Mu Ling said.  Han Kongque said: "He is careful enough. If he is not careful and is not so mature and prudent, he would not be able to leave such a treasure map." "The secret burial does not seem to be so safe." Jin Yao said with a smile.  "You can't say that. If you look at this map, even Liu Min, who participated in the design at the time, only marked the general location, but could not accurately locate the tomb. This is enough to show that the secret burial system is still useful.  ." Han Peacock said with a sigh.  "Fortunately, he didn't know the location. If he had known, he would have been silenced long ago." Jin Yao said.  "It seems that this method is not bad, otherwise it would not have been hidden for eight hundred years." Huang Shan said.  "As long as a secret is known to one person, it is not a secret. Genghis Khan is worthy of being a genius. No one knows his tomb, so he can hide it for so many years." Han Kongque said.  "If you hadn't met the boss, even if you locked it within a certain range, no one else would be able to find it." Mu Ling said.  Thinking about it this way, it is really true. Now Han Peacock has just locked a piece of grassland based on the mountain topography map. The area of ??this grassland is 30 kilometers in radius. If it is an ordinary person, looking for a hidden place underground in such a large area  The mausoleum is definitely a needle in a haystack.  But it was different for Han Peacock. As long as Han Peacock walked through this area, it was unlikely that this mausoleum hidden underground would escape his detection.  This method of hiding the tomb is absolutely advisable. If Han Peacock was going to die of old age, he would definitely choose this way of burial.  Thinking that if I really die, countless treasures will be buried with me, so the tomb must be secretive somehow.  In fact, this kind of funeral system was also forced to form because they had too many enemies.  According to Mongolian customs, the burial place of Khan is extremely secret. Because the nomads frequently move and migrate, and wars often cause territory to be lost, a secret burial is very necessary.  There are two theories about the form of secret burial. One is that after the burial, horses are driven to run wildly on the burial site, flattening the floating soil to remove any trace of the burial, and then the trees are overgrown to form a dense forest, so that future generations cannot know the secret burial.  Under which tree was Khan buried?  Second, after the burial, thousands of horses were still used to remove traces, and thousands of horses were used to guard it, and no one was allowed to enter this forbidden area.  The spring grass will grow next year, and the thousands of horses will disperse. When we climb high and look far away, we will see that it is as flat as before, and no one can see the traces of the burial soil.  Legend has it that Genghis Khan died while leading his troops on an expedition to Xixia. Before his death, Genghis Khan ordered that the funeral should be kept secret so as not to weaken the morale of the army.  The generals transported his coffin back to Mongolia for burial. In order to prevent the outside world from knowing about his death, the generals "killed everyone they encountered" during the long journey.  After the mausoleum was built, Genghis Khan was buried deep underground in one of the two secret burial forms above.    Subsequently, the leading general ordered 800 soldiers to kill all the tomb builders, and these 800 soldiers were immediately silenced. From then on, no one knew the true location of Genghis Khan's mausoleum.  So, even now, there are still countless people who come one after another to hunt for treasures, but no one can find it because they have too few clues.  For more than 800 years, countless historians, archaeologists, geologists, tomb robbers and explorers have all tried to find the location of Genghis Khan¡¯s tomb, but their basis mainly comes from records in eight ancient books.  In addition to Zhifeni's History of the World Conquerors mentioned earlier, these ancient books also include the Secret History of Mongolia written in 1240, the Black Tartar Chronicles around 1240, the Travels of Marco Polo in 1298, the Historical Collection in the early 14th century, the Yuan Dynasty in 1370,  Outline of the Golden History of Mongolia: Early 17th century, Mongolian origins: 1662.  However, these ancient books are vague about the records of Genghis Khan's mausoleum. For example, the Secret History of Mongolia is the earliest historical document about Genghis Khan's death. It was originally hidden in the palace of Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. It was captured after the Ming army conquered Dadu and was not burned.  Instead, it was translated into Chinese and compared between Mongolian and Chinese, which played a huge role in helping future generations understand the history of the Yuan Dynasty.  However, the record does not specify the burial place of Genghis Khan. Scholars speculate that this was a deliberate avoidance.  These days, when Han Peacock and the others were looking for the tomb of Genghis Khan, they also encountered many expedition teams, archaeological teams or some mysterious people. Needless to say, these people must be tomb robbers.  In this area, such people can be seen everywhere. As long as it is not blocked by heavy snow, people will continue to come here.  Now, it has even developed into a unique tourist route, and many local people make a living by working as guides.  Therefore, the activities to search for Chengling have never stopped. In more than 200 years, there have been more than 100 expedition teams. These are only the number recorded. Those private expedition teams or tomb robbers may be even harder to count.  Of course, finding Chengling is not an easy task: funds, personnel, advanced equipment and instruments, channels and abilities to apply and communicate with the local government. Each of them means a threshold to go to Chengling, but as time passes,  There are only a handful of investigations that have reached a certain scale and made certain discoveries through advancement and equipment updating.  And just when countless people couldn't find it, Han Kongque and his party came to Qi Nian Valley. The name Qi Nian Valley is very famous, but there are not many people who really know the location of this name.  Therefore, the Qichao Valley where Han Kongque and the others came is now just an unnamed valley, or it cannot be called a valley, because this valley is a bit big. If it were not surrounded by two mountains in the distance, there would be nothing here.  It cannot be called a valley.  Everyone knows that Genghis Khan¡¯s mausoleum was buried in Qi Nian Valley, but where is Qi Nian Valley is worth studying.  For example, the Qi Nian Valley marked on the map now is definitely not the Qi Nian Valley 800 years ago. If not, perhaps the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan would have been found by the Japanese long ago.  In 1990, the 80-year-old Japanese archaeologist Hiro Egami cooperated with the Mongolian National Academy of Sciences and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to use the most advanced technologies at the time, including remote sensing, satellite photo analysis, aerial survey aircraft, geophysical underground exploration, and field exploration.  Archaeological research.  They were looking for the tombs of Genghis Khan and other Mongolian emperors in the "Qi Nian Valley" on the banks of the Kherulun River outside.  The Qi Nian Valley they were looking for was located near Halakholin, which was the old capital of Mongolia before it moved its capital to Beijing. In 1368, it was burned to ashes by fire.  The dragnet-style investigation lasted for three years. In 1993, a supplementary investigation was conducted. As a result, Egami Bofu found 3,500 ancient tombs built before the 13th century, and discovered the ruins of an ancient city from the Genghis Khan era.  Tomb, but there was never a trace.  Is the technology unreliable?  Remote sensing archeology was the most advanced exploration method in the world at the time. Archaeologists used it to discover ancient cities in the Oman desert, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Mayan civilization ruins in the primitive jungles of northern Guatemala, and the underwater city of Alexandria in the Mediterranean.  Therefore, excluding technical reasons, there is only one explanation: the area surveyed by Egami Bofu is not the location of Genghis Khan¡¯s mausoleum at all.  In the end, the archaeologist known as the father of the study of "horse-riding people" left the Mongolian grassland and returned home with lifelong regrets.  ??Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter whether the technology is advanced or not, it¡¯s because they didn¡¯t find the place. If anyone really found the right place, or was close to the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, then it must be the American Kravitz.  Standing in front of a stone wall, Han Kongque looked at a stone wall that was three to four kilometers long, and felt happy with the points in his heart., and also felt a little bit lucky. Fortunately, this place is still a certain distance away from the real mausoleum, otherwise, Kravitz would have discovered it.  To be continued.
