Location of Chinggis Khaan’s military stronghold Chinhai, set up in 1212, has been found, a research team of Mongolia-Japan Joint Expedition Project ‘Inscription’ announced during a press conference on March 27, Monday.
The said stronghold’s location has been determined to be in Sharga soum of Gobi-Altai aimag, namely a ruin named Khalzan Shireg; what’s more, remains of a god statue dating back to the 13th century were unearthed at the site following an excavation conducted last September.
The ‘Inscription’ project has focused on the Khalzan Shireg site since 2001 to thus conclude that not only is the ruin a former military stronghold of Chinggis Khaan, but it also connected the east and west regions of Eurasia, and perhaps could have been a spiritual stronghold.
Launched in 1993, the ‘Inscription’ project is participated by researchers from Japanese Otani University and Ryukoku University, International Institute for the Study of Nomadic Civilizations and Mongolian University of Science and Technology.
