Since the 13th century, successive generations of explorers, scientists and historians have been fascinated by an intriguing archaeological mystery: Where is Genghis Khan’s tomb? Documentary sources lead us to think that the remains of the greatest conqueror in history are hidden away somewhere in Mongolia. But what does Archaeology say?

A Franco-Mongolian archaeological expedition discovered the tomb of a 2300-year old Scythian warrior on the frozen steppes of Mongolia. Combining the results of excavations and ethnoarchaeology, archaeologists question the similarities between the current populations of Kazakh nomads and the Eastern Scythians, who inhabited these same lands some 2000 years ago.
