 Genghis
Khan imprinted in the memory of the west bears
little relation to the Chinggis Khaan revered
by Mongolians. For the Mongols, he embodies
strength, unity, law and order. He is the young
king who united the warring clans.Until the
end of the 12th century, the Mongols were little
more than a loose confederation of rival clans.
A Mongol named Temujin was born in 1162, as
a prince of Kiyat-Borjigin tribe. After many
years of hard life after his father's death,
at the age of 20, he emerged from a power struggle
to become the leader of the Kiyat-Borjigins.
Within a few years, he managed to unite most
of the Mongol tribes, and in 1189, he was given
the honorary name of Chinggis Khaan, meaning
'universal (or oceanic) king'. No Mongolian
leader before or since has held the Mongolians
together.
Genghis Khan's Monument at
Gurvan Nuur is famous for that it was erected
in 1962 or during the communist time. During
the communsit regime Genghis Khaan was seen
as a monster, mass killer to the Mongols accoriding
to the Soviet policy. The Mongols weren't allowed
to say good things about their Great Khaan,
if one once told he'd definetely be sent to
jail.
 Oglogchiin
Herem is the biggest graveyard ever
found from the 13th century. It is said that
it was the graveyard of the 13th century Mongolian
aristocrats. The graveyard is surrounded by
2-4m high granite wall extending about 10 km.
 Herlenii
Hodoo Aral is also one of the most
important place for Genghis Khaan's life. The
only historic document on Genghis Khaan's life
and wars "The Secret Histoy of the Mongols"
was completed here in 1240. In honour of the
event, a stone monument of the Great Khaan was
erected here in 1990. The journey also takes
us to Khajuu Bulag, a spring
near Deluun Boldog, Genghis Khaan is believed
to be washed for the first time after his birth.
 Rashaan
Khad is famous for its over 20 ancient
inscriptions in Tibetan, Runic, ancient Mongolian
etc. , It is a 10m high granite rock on a hill.
Some information about Genghis Khan: Globally
known as Genghis Khan and locally called Chinggis
Khaan was a brilliant leader, a great warlord
and a change of the world's face. In Mongolia
Genghis Khaan is worshipped more than Buddha
or Jesus and proclaimed as the Son of Heaven.
This Genghis Khan's birth place tour allows
you to tour to Genghis Khan's land and travel
to the history of Great Mongolian Empire founded
by Genghis some 800 years ago.
