Seven years of adventures in Mongolia, in search of Genghis Khan's secret tomb. From Genghis Khan's perfect side-tracking operation to the final discovery. This is the story of seven years of explorations and adventures among the mountains and steppes of Mongolia, in search of the tomb of Genghis Khan, the man who, with indomitable ferocity and determination, succeeded in creating the largest empire in history. By imposing the Pax Mongolica, he changed the fate of the then known world, opening the doors for trade and the communications between medieval Asia and Europe. In order to reach his goal, the author first studied in deep the critical analysis of the "Secret History of the Mongols", distrustful also the oldest sources, like Rashid al-Din who has never visited Mongolia and never directly talked with an eyewitness to the facts he described. Such distrust has become necessary also for the historical sources of the seventeenth century, as well as for those scholars who have not verified their hypotheses on the field.
