Finding Hidden Tomb Of Genghis Khan Using Non-Invasive Technologies

Once he was below ground, his men brought in horses to trample evidence of his grave, and just to be absolutely sure he would never be found, they diverted a river to flow over their leader's final resting place. What Khan and his followers couldn't have envisioned was that nearly 800 years after his death, scientists at UC San Diego's Center for Interdisciplinary Science in Art, Architecture and Archaeology (CISA3) would be able to locate his tomb using advanced visualization technologies whose origins can be traced back to the time of the Mongolian emperor himself... Lin and several colleagues -- including Professor Maurizio Seracini, the director of CISA3 and the man behind the search for Leonardo da Vinci's lost "Battle of Anghiari" painting -- are hoping to use advanced visualization and analytical technologies available at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) to pinpoint Khan's tomb and conduct a non-invasive archaeological analysis of the area where he is believed to be buried.

Geraldo will find it in no time!

[Tax-chick]

The headline and article strongly imply that Genghis Khan’s tomb *has* been found, rather than that someone (still, again) hopes to find it.

[CrazyIvan]

Just checked your home page. I'm assuming that's “Vlad, the Imp-Wailer”?

[Tax-chick]

LOL! I don’t think anyone’s mentioned that before. He was titled “Vlad the Usurper,” because James was world-ruler until Vlad was born.

This will excite John F’n Kerry..................

[SunkenCiv]

Heh heh... particularly the “non-invasive” part... throw a few of other people’s medals over the fence around the site, badmouth the veteran Mongols, and he’s all moist.

Yes, but the probable site has been narrowed down, and a few years ago, some locals were quoted as being angry for this discovery of the “secret” site, a secret supposedly passed down quietly in local lore.

[Tax-chick]

I see. That’s very interesting, and it will certainly be fascinating if they actually find it.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I seem to remember that all the people who went on the burial detail were also killed when they returned so that they could never reveal the location of his tomb.

[Tax-chick]

That sounds familiar.
