Noble Friends, Especially Mongols:
Today BBC travel is presenting an interesting story speculating why
Genghis Khan's tomb and its legendary treasures will never be found:
http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20170717-why-genghis-khans-tomb-cant-be-found
. The short answer is respect by the Mongolian people and their government.
This raises a number of questions about the morality of digging up dead
kings and making off with their grave goods, and even their bones. The
unpleasantness surrounding the rediscovery of Richard III's bones is an
extreme example. The Mongolian people have a valid point.
Yours Aye,
Mungo Napier, Laird of Mallard Lodge
