Genghis Khan was a Mongolian Warlord who's empire stretched from Mongolia and China to Russia and the Middle East. His life would be enough to fill several episodes of any podcast. This episode is about his death.

Genghis Khan had one wish when he died. He didn't want anyone to know where he was buried. Legend has it that the people who held his funeral were killed by his army, who were then killed by another group. This final group killed everyone they met on their way home, before killing themselves.

The final location of his tomb isn't, to quote Poe, beyond all conjecture. It's likely somewhere in Mongolia. Marco Polo, who knew the Khans, believed it was somewhere in the Atali mountains. Others put it in Burkhan Khaldun, which once called the Great Taboo, because Mongols didn't go there.

Genghis Khan still finds worshippers today. While his tomb could be found, Mongolia chooses to respect his wishes and has elected not to find it.

Takeaway: Not all mysteries need to be solved.
