Produktbeschreibung
Chinggis Qa'an dies almost 800 years ago. His tomb hasn't been found since then in spite of the strenuous efforts of treasure hunters, government officials, academics, explorers, and thieves looking for this underground treasure-trove of extraordinary wealth, history and insight into the Mongol empire, its leadership and Chinggis Qa'an, possibly the greatest military leader in human history. Based on four field expeditions and historical research over ten years, the author establishes the eight elements that need to be determined to show the location of the gravesite of Chinggis Qa'an consistent with Mongol tradition, Mongol Shamanism, and the Emperor's instructions. Then, based on these elements and employing state of the art ground penetrating radar, the author pinpoints the location of the actual tomb.
