(10[1])This location may have been (10[1])trampled (10[1])by 1,000 (10[1])horses (-5[1])or had (10[1]-5[1])a river (10[2])diverted (10[1])over (10[1])it so it would (10[1])not be found. (10[1]-5[1])This location is often (10[1])thought to be on Burkhan Khaldun (-5[1])in the Khentii mountains, (-5[1])a spiritual site of Tengriism.
