The Mongolian Police Department has been investigating news about Chinggis (Genghis) Khan’s tomb being found in Mongolia. According to officials, the news reported by World News Daily Report was false. The news first appeared on the site in 2014. After that, one Mongolian TV channel reported the news in 2015 – it re-appeared in Facebook in 2018.

The World News Daily Report editorial claimed that “Construction workers employed in road building near the River Onon in Khentii province of Mongolia, have discovered a mass grave containing the remains of many dozen human corpses lying upon a large rudimentary stone structure. Forensic experts and archaeologists were called on the site, which was revealed to be a Mongolian royal tomb from the 13th century that the specialists believe to be that of Genghis Khan…The team of scientists affiliated with the University of Beijing has concluded that the numerous skeletons buried on top of the structure were most likely the slaves who built it and who were then massacred to keep the secret of the location. The remains of twelve horses were also found on the site, certainly sacrificed to accompany the Great Khan in death’.
