    I am Mongolian and came across numerous archeological sites whenever I travel to the countryside. Once an archeologist told me it is easy to locate graves as they have stone indications on the surface but the majority of the graves are empty because it was tradition for enemies to dig each other's ancestors graves as a sign of humiliation and disrespect. Most of the graves were dug up and emptied hundreds of years ago. Since Mongolian empire always consisted of tribes perhaps that is why he wanted to hide his grave.

      It’s surprising that people do have good side of Chingis. Actually his life was very humble and simple. Only role of ruler made him look like a tough one or bad. But as an orphan he devoted to his family and his land, stood against all odds, yet, he just did everything he had to, nothing extraordinary, but later on his reputations grew bigger but he was still temujin.
      I’m glad that there are more people have true story about him -than fake one.

    In Young Justice, there is no tomb because Genghis Khan was another alias used by the immortal caveman Vandal Savage. The whole part about his tomb's location being obscured was likely a tale told so that nobody would know Savage was immortal and he could adopt another identity.

    It would not surprise me if all these stories were true.

    I have a thought why it's unlocatable.
    Let's set aside the essentially mythological stuff like the notion that everyone associated with the funerary procession was killed so that no living person remained who knew where he was interred.
    It may simply be explained by no part of his body now existing, nor having existed for centuries. With in ground interments, depending on soil chemistry, no discernible trace of a person may remain after as little as 30 years. He died almost 800 years ago. He mouldered and there isn't so much as bones or teeth left.

    Let's be honest. The Great Khan was the original Chad. He outwitted his enemies as a child. He united a group of tribes who hated their kin as much as their enemies. And conquered an empire that relatively exceeded any ever. More importantly, 15% of Asian, and a lesser, but significant percent of European males carry his DNA. Most importantly, when he died he said "FU let me rest in peace". That is a life the most based today can only fantasize.

    If he truly had 2,000 people plus soldiers killed after his funeral, then they should be looking for mass graves. That would point them in the right direction, since that's far too many bodies to move and where they were killed is probably where they were buried. They probably didn't travel too far from his tomb before being killed, so his grave would be within proximity to the mass grave.

    The only place I can think that his grave/tomb might be is at the head of the Onan River. I choose this spot because it's said that this is where the Mongols first began. According to their origin story in their folklore "A Blue Wolf took as his spouse a Fallow Doe. They settled at the head of the Onan River to raise their offspring, and there were born the Mongols."

      There is a theory it was destroyed after Christianity took over to prevent worship of anyone who may be deemed as a god, since the last recorded mention was in 390 AD. There is another theory his tomb was moved to a Catholic Church after Christianity took over, as Paganism generally wasn't tolerated from a monotheistic religion.

    Love your series. Always look forward to it. One fact correction however. Genghis Khan never conquered India during his lifetme. He could have if he wanted to. Atleast a good part of northern India. Later successor of the Mongols, a branched out family of the great Khan, ruled over the subcontinent as the "Mughals". The Mughals however, identified themselves as "hindustani" (Indian" in ancient sense) with their roots in far away Samarkand.
