Oglogchiin kherem oglogch wall

#landmark #historic

Oglogch Wall is located at the base of Daichin Mountain, 45km southwest of Batshireet soum. The wall, 3km in length, is made entirely of stones without the use of mortar.

When Russian archeologist S.Kondratiev explored the site in 1926, the wall was 2.5-4.5 meters in height. Today it stands 3.1 meters tall at its highest point.

Last summer, Mongolian-American joint expedition team "Genghis Khan" discovered approximately 60 tombs near the wall.

The archeologists believe that Oglochiin Kherem may be a burial place of great Mongolian figures, such as Genghis or Kublai Khan.
