Where In the World Is Genghis Khan Buried? - Fred Hiebert

Many ancient rulers sealed their legacy by creating lasting monuments to themselves. But, National Geographic Fellow Fred Hiebert explains that, apparently, Genghis Khan was confident in his reputation, as his grave site has never been officially confirmed. Hiebert located a likely location for the eternal resting place of the ruler of one of the largest empires ever, but the Mongolian government prevented his excavating the site. So Hiebert turned his sights to one of Genghis Khan's descendents, named Tamerlane, in attempt to locate a missing palace.
