Genghis Khan's birthplace Deluun Boldog
2006 was the 800th anniversary of the founding of the Mongolian nation by Genghis Khan. Although the finer detail’s of Genghis Khan’s life are not fully known, his birthplace is thought to be at Deluun Boldog near Dadal Sum, an attractive wooded area in the north-west Hentii region of Mongolia.
We enjoyed trails and lakes as well as a museum where we learned why this mass slaughterer, fierce warrior and great leader is still revered today. Dadal Sum once housed one of three great lamaist temples consecrated to Genghis Khan, but which was razed in the 1930s by the Russian communists.
Now there are stone monuments to him erected in the surrounding beauty of the Mongolian countryside.
