Regarding the amazing discoveries made by the Japanese-Mongolian joint archaeological team in Mongolia, Pan Zhaodong, a researcher at the Inner Mongolia Academy of Social Sciences, and the TV series "Genghis Khan" "Zhu Yaoting, the screenwriter of the film, all raised questions.
Pan Zhaodong believes that several conditions must be met to discover Genghis Khan's tomb. First of all, there must be a coffin; secondly, there must be physical evidence, such as the things Genghis Khan used during his lifetime; thirdly, there must be precise written records, such as stone inscriptions and other records. Otherwise, there is no way to prove that it is the tomb of Genghis Khan.
Pan Zhaodong said that the Aerzhai Grottoes discovered near the Otuoke Banner on the Ordos Plateau may be the real tomb of Genghis Khan. This place is less than 200 kilometers away from the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan in Ordos City. The landforms, place names and other characteristics are very consistent with the descriptions of Genghis Khan's burial place in historical materials such as "Secret History of Mongolia", "Historical Collection" and "Mughal Records". In Grotto No. 28 in Arzhai Mountain, there is a mural closely related to the burial of Genghis Khan. Pan Zhaodong believes that this mural should be "The Burial Picture of Genghis Khan". This was Genghis Khan's rear area, where heavy troops were stationed and the distance from Liupan Mountain could be reached within 3 days.
Zhu Yaoting believes that based on the current findings of the Japan-Mongolia joint archaeological team, it is not enough to prove that it is the tomb of Genghis Khan. According to historical records, at that time, the single wooden coffin was cut open in the middle of the oak wood, and then tied with 3 to 4 gold hoops to prevent the wood from rotting and disintegrating. If you find Genghis Khan's tomb, you must find these three golden hoops. Because gold never decays. There should also be a large number of burial objects. According to records, in addition to weapons and bows and arrows, Genghis Khan should also be buried with war horses and palace maids. As for gold and silver treasures, many people have different opinions, but at least there should be burial objects.
Ordos comes up with the final word
As we all know, there is a magnificent Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Yijinhuoluo Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. In the yurt-style yellow silk tent in the apse of the mausoleum, the coffins of Genghis Khan and his wife Bolte Uzhen are enshrined. In the yellow silk tents on both sides of it, there are placed the coffins of Genghis Khan's wife Hulun and his third wife Isu, as well as the coffins of Genghis Khan's two brothers Beljitai and Hasar. Placed in the east hall are the coffins of Genghis Khan's fourth son, Tuolei, and his wife. The west hall is dedicated to the nine Suliding, which symbolizes Genghis Khan's nine generals, and also displays the swords, riding whips and other items used by Genghis Khan in his battles. Every year on the first day of March, May 15th, September 12th and October 3rd of the lunar calendar, the Dalhut Mongols, the descendants of Genghis Khan, hold grand memorial activities here. The scene is grand and spectacular. However, many experts and scholars have always believed that this Genghis Khan Mausoleum was just Genghis Khan's clothing.
On September 17, 2004, at the "Ordos Academic Seminar" held in Dongsheng District, Ordos City, experts and scholars from inside and outside the region and the Dalhut Mongolians who have guarded the tomb for generations pointed out that Genghis Khan's Although there is no accurate underground archaeological confirmation of the burial site, the "Baba White House" (also known as the "Eight White House"), the home of Genghis Khan as a national will and national sacrifice, is located in Yijinhuoluo Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia. As the hereditary guardians of Genghis Khan's mausoleum in the world, the Dalhut Mongols have always implemented the most complete, authoritative and Mongolian-yuan-style sacrificial system.
Experts at the meeting believed that during the time of Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ordos area was classified as a central province directly under the central government, and the place name "Yijinhuoluo", which was translated into Chinese as "mausoleum of the great Khan and emperor", was allowed. The place to place the "Eight White Houses" in Ordos, which has not yet been decided on Kent Mountain, will never be arbitrary, and it cannot be arbitrary. In addition, the largest of the four major Genghis Khan sacrifices mandated by Kublai Khan, the "Chagan Surike Festival", was held at the Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Yijinhuoluo Banner. For more than 700 years, the Mongolian people have persisted in this traditional memorial activity.
At this seminar, the experts also presented eyewitness records of the "Babaishi" where the man's clothes and clothes placed the silver box after Genghis Khan's "sky burial": "Both the coffins of Genghis Khan and the Queen of the Great Khan were in a rectangular shape. The silver coffin device is locked with a copper lock.
"After the completion of the newly built Genghis Khan Cemetery in 1956, the Khan's silver coffin was opened once... All seven layers of the coffin were opened, and inside the seventh layer of the coffin was a picture of Genghis Khan's family wrapped in a fragrant cowhide pillow. portrait. What was inside the leather pillow remains a mystery as it has never been opened. "
According to the person in charge of the local Dalhut: "It has been said for many years that (inside the leather pillow) is a bone of the Khan wrapped in the clothes of the Khan. "
Yun Zhaoguang, former chairman of the Inner Mongolia Federation of Literary and Art Circles, screenwriter of the film "Ordos Storm", and a famous Mongolian modern history scholar, said that when Genghis Khan died, it was midsummer. In order to protect the body, It will not take 3 months or half a year to transport the body over a long distance, but will only be buried in Ordos, a geomantic treasure land close to Liupan Mountain and the Yellow River.
Written in 1939 and now at the American Asian Research Center. "Yikezhao Mengzhi" revealed the little-known content of the Yuan Dynasty general Tubadu Suizheng, which actually proved Mr. Yun's point of view. This incomplete paper book stored in a small iron cabinet was translated into Chinese and said, "Da. Khan died suddenly while he was on an expedition. Because of the profuse sweat, ×××× proposed a sky burial. "The prime minister entrusted him with a sword, a crown of sweat, and Dong Mu placed it in a seven-treasure box (i.e., a silver coffin) to be carried by a divine camel to bury ××××." We traveled through the desert for forty-seven days... and then traveled on ×× days to reach the lowlands of the flat desert. The camel could not stand upright, and the subjects could not move even if they tried to pull him away. The crowd prayed silently, the sword suddenly flew away, and the clothes shone with splendor. In the joy of the Lord, the subjects buried the camp on the lowland plateau (that is, Yijinhuoluo) and set up a garrison to protect it... They went out looking for the sword and found it on the grassland a hundred miles away. Luo) Enjoy sacrifices at all four seasons. ”
The secret burial custom of Mongolian nobles
Legend has it that when Genghis Khan was buried, for the sake of confidentiality, more than 10,000 war horses were buried on the ground and a separate tree was used as a tombstone. In order to make it easier to find the cemetery in the future, at the burial place of Genghis Khan, his own baby camel was killed in front of a female camel, and the blood was sprinkled on the cemetery until the green grass sprouted the next spring. It is no different from other places. In this case, when descendants held sacrifices to Genghis Khan, they would lead the female camel to the cemetery and mourn for the sacrifice of the little camel. However, after the death of the female camel, no one could find the tomb of Genghis Khan.
According to the "Secret History of Mongolia", the Mongolian royal family. After the burial, hundreds of war horses were used to trample the ground on the tomb flat, and then grass and trees were planted on it. Then people were sent to guard the tomb for a long time until no trace was left on the ground before leaving. Anyone who knew about it would be killed. It can be seen that this legend is obviously not groundless. Pan Zhaodong pointed out that the distance from Liupan Mountain to the location where the Japanese-Mongolian joint archaeological team discovered the cemetery is quite long. It is thousands of miles in the middle of summer, and it is necessary to ensure that the remains do not rot while crossing the mountain. Wading through water and crossing the desert, these problems are difficult to solve in three days.
Pan Zhaodong said that according to records, when Genghis Khan died, he took the top mane of a white male camel and put it on Genghis Khan's mouth. and nose, if there is no breathing, it means that the soul has been attached to this piece of white camel hair. At this time, the body can be disposed of and the camel hair can be kept in Yiguan's home. According to Pan Zhaodong, who grew up in the 1950s. When the mausoleum was completed, the silver coffin was opened and this ball of camel hair was discovered.
The excavation of the mausoleum went against tradition.
Zhu Yaoting said that according to Mongolian tradition, Genghis Khan was buried in a "secret burial." , I don’t want future generations to discover it. For future generations, we should respect our ancestors, and the descendants of the Mongolian people do not want Genghis Khan’s tomb to be excavated. Pan Zhaodong even said shockingly: “We will probably not be able to find a confirmed burial place in the future. , maybe Genghis Khan left nothing behind. Our thinking has always been wrong. "At that time, the Mongolians did not have a tradition of physical worship. They believed that the human body came from nature and should return to nature after death. Only by early burial can the soul ascend to heaven. Therefore, the silver coffin spiritual hub enshrined in Genghis Khan's mausoleum is preserved The soul-absorbing object of Genghis Khan when he died was the white male camel’s mane, not the remains of Genghis Khan.
“Perhaps we latecomers have always had a problem with our thinking and always hope to unearth something, but in fact there is nothing at all. No.
"Pan Zhaodong does not agree with large-scale excavation of mausoleums. According to Mongolian tradition, disturbing the soul of the deceased is disrespectful to the deceased. The body has no preservation value. The key is that the soul is immortal. Large-scale archaeology has violated the prairie sacrificial culture and has been opposed. Actual proof has been that nothing has been accomplished.
Not long ago, Mongolian President Bagabandi said in an interview with CCTV reporter Shui Junyi: “According to a will passed down by Genghis Khan, that is, One of the words he said when he died was that his tomb should never be known to the world. Therefore, we follow the will of Genghis Khan... The question of which direction and what state Genghis Khan's mausoleum is should be just like you asked, making it forever a riddle-like question for those who are willing to Those who guess the answer, please continue to guess the answer to this riddle! ”
