Tombs of the Emperors of Tartary
The term "Tombs of the Emperors of Tartary" typically refers to the burial sites of the Mongol emperors and khans, particularly those associated with the historical empire that spanned across parts of Central Asia and East Asia, including Mongolia and parts of China. One of the most famous burial sites related to the Mongol Empire is the Mongolian steppe, where many Mongol leaders were believed to be buried in unmarked graves, following the tradition that these leaders wanted their resting places to remain hidden.
The most notable tomb associated with the Mongol Empire is that of Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire. His tomb's exact location remains unknown, though it is believed to be somewhere in Mongolia. According to legend, his funeral procession was shrouded in secrecy, and many were reportedly killed afterward to keep the location hidden.
In addition to Genghis Khan, other prominent figures of the Mongol Empire, like Kublai Khan, who was a grandson of Genghis Khan and the founder of the Yuan dynasty in China, also have their own burial sites, although many of these sites have faced destruction or been lost over time.
