Mural of Genghis Khan's funeral found

Dec. 26, 2006 at 12:09PM

A painting of a Mongolian funeral ceremony in the Arjai caves in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region might depict Genghis Khan's funeral. The mural in one of the caves at the Arjai Grotto is about 20 inches long and 14 inches wide, the Xinhua News Agency reported Tuesday. The painting depicts a Mongolian funeral where a man is held above a funeral pit by white cranes, said Pan Zhaodong, a researcher from the Social Science Academy of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. One well-dressed onlooker could very well be the prince who accompanied Genghis Khan to take over the Western Xia regime, while the other two are monks, Zhaodong told Xinhua. One of the monks is on his knees and appears to be praying, said the researcher

Come think of it I remember seeing Ricardo in old school Hawaii Five-O play Japanese gangster OMG boy what casting

Too bad we can't bring him back.

He had a special "talent" for dealing with Muslims.

Ricardo Montalban was also in Escape From The Planet of the Apes. He was in Colombo and a lot of other stuff in the Seventies, usually playing the bad guy. Then came Fantasy Island and Tattoo (who I think is still alive, went nuts and became Chia Head).

Meanwhile William Shatner was in Kingdom of the Spiders (a real classic!) and this. He also starred in T.J. Hooker in the Eighties and went on to star on Boston Legal. In the Seventies Bill tried his hand at music with his unique versions of "Mr. Tamborine Man" and "Rocket Man." In 1986 he made a memorable appearance on Saturday Night Live as himself at a Star Trek convention ("Get a life!!!")

"Guys speaking of Khan Ricardo Montliban he is in ill health last time I hear I just hope we Freepers pay respect to Ricardo when he finally kick it"

When his time comes I hope he's buried in a coffin lined with rich Corinthian leather.

Too bad it wasn't found by his descendants. Then you could say, "Khan found it."
