Last week, I visited the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan in Inner Mongolia. One amazing fact is that the consecration fire lamp has been burning continuously for over 200 years, with the flame being carefully maintained and transferred from one lamp to another without ever being extinguished. His body isn't actually buried there; instead, the mausoleum serves as a cenotaph, housing his clothes and other items he used, which are protected by his descendants. The guide at the mausoleum (who is one of his descendants) told me that, when Genghis Khan died, Mongolian soldiers took hundreds of horses to trample the ground where his body was buried and then killed everyone who had taken part in the burial. They waited until the following year when the grass had grown back, ensuring that the exact location would remain unknown. Since I couldn't take pictures inside, I captured some of the scenic views outside.
