Question
Description acceptable. John Woods led an expedition to this location using funds from Maury Kravitz that claimed to have located it in a place called “Almsgivers’ Castle” or “The Red Rock.” That candidate for this location had earlier been rejected by Yomiuri Shimbun’s “Three Rivers” expedition. One tale claims that soldiers in this location, which is probably in a place whose name translates as “Great Taboo,” killed 2,000 slaves before being killed by another detachment of soldiers that later committed (*) suicide. This location may have been trampled by 1,000 horses or had a river diverted over it so it would not be found. This location is often thought to be on Burkhan Khaldun in the Khentii mountains, a spiritual site of Tengriism. For 10 points, name this current location of the creator of the Mongol Empire. ■END■
