The Valley of the Khans, Mongolia About the Project While diving deep into ancient mysteries of the unknown and forging through some of the most unexplored regions of central Asia, the Valley of the Khans Project continues to search for clues that can unlock one of the greatest secrets of modern history. Based out of the Center for Interdisciplinary Science in Art, Architecture, and Archaeology at the University of California, San Diego, Dr. Albert Yu-Min Lin has utilized the most advanced technologies in remote sensing to approach an 800-year-old mystery and discover the truth behind the life, death, and burial of the most influential conqueror of all time. Genghis Khan (Chingghis Khaan) remains to this day the most accomplished man to have walked the Earth. Rising from an outcast life to be the ruler of the most expansive empire to have ever existed, Genghis introduced an alphabet and central currency, united a kingdom of warring tribes, and conquered the majority of the known world.
Arkaim: Russia's Stonehenge and a Puzzle of the Ancient World Everyone’s heard of Stonehenge. You could probably venture into the Amazonian jungle and seek out an untouched tribe of hunter-gatherers, spend months gaining their trust and learning their language, fighting off dysentery while you’re at it, and when their chief finally makes you an honorary member of their society, against the emphatic advice of his shaman, you could ask them if they’ve heard of Stonehenge, and the answer would probably be: yes. Some might say that’s overstating the matter a touch, but the point stands. The sarsen stones of Wiltshire are famous; they’ve made their way into popular culture the world over. Though, would it surprise you to know that Stonehenge isn’t the only megalithic stone circle in the world? Probably not, but most don’t realise that there are somewhere on the order of 5000 stone circles around the world. Great Britain boasts a large number of these Neolithic sites, but they don’t have a monopoly on henges, as they’re called over there.
