Favorite moment of history

[Alonso Quijana]

Aye, WWII was a rather interesting part of history.

Speaking of favorite bits of history, does anyone consider the Gilded Age among their favorite moments? When studying it in my AP U.S. History class, it was almost unanimously everyone's least favorite era.

For a specific moment...... not to sound brutal but the death of Ghengis Khan.....His body was said to have been taken back to his birthplace northeast of Ulaanbaatar.

According to legend, anyone crossing paths with the funerary procession was killed, so no one would know of Ghengis's death or the where abouts of his burial. The cart carrying his body is said to have become stuck while in the Ordos region of China, and only began to move again after prayers to his spirit said by one of his followers not to abandon his people. It is said that a herd of horses had been driven back and forth over his grave in Hentei to remove any evidence, and until trees grew over the area soldiers were posted.

To this day, however it is not really known where the ruler of the world’s largest empire is actually buried. biggrin biggrin biggrin


...And that just leaves more for us aspiring archaeologists to find!!!
