Genghis Khan
In the West Genghis Khan, or rather Chinggis Khan, is mainly considered in negative terms. Whereas in the East he is revered as one of history's more charismatic and dynamic leaders. He conquered more territory than any other conqueror, and established the biggest empire in history. Mongolia would not exist if it were not for Genghis Khan.

The Tomb of Ghenghis Khan
- The tomb of Genghis Khan
- It is said that after the burial 2,000 men were slaughtered by some 800 soldiers who were in turn executed so that the location of the real tomb remains a secret.
Genghis Khan's Mausoleum, rebuilt in 1954, 185 kilometers south of Baotou, is a mausoleum, in which only his clothing is buried in memory of the great leader. The 5.5 hectares mausoleum includes three giant yurt halls which house coffins of the Khan, his wife, his son and his generals. - Mongolia sees his good side
- "He wasn't really a bad guy, he just had bad press" said the Mongolian Prime Minister (an interesting article in the Herald Tribune)
