Genghis Khan in Mongolia.
In the middle of the steppe, like he would've wanted, made of metal, like he would've wanted.

Been here, the Alamo memorial out front is just as cool as the church, imo. The Mexican military dragged their bodies here and burned them.

Have you seen drone footage of it? I'd love to visit, and am planning a road trip to Mongolia eventually. Imagine when they find his tomb, the memorials then.

Freedom Monument in Riga

It's to independence fighters after WW1; It was about to be torn down by the Russians because Latvians would demand independence by it and stage protests, but architects decided to keep it because it was beautiful.

Still controversial because every year members of the Latvian SS meet here

No.

He didn't want to be found out, which is why there is no real tomb of him.

Unfortunately not draped in concubines and the blood of his enemies, like he would've wanted. :(

I thought his tomb was discovered. Or I'm confusing with someone else?

Mine would have to be the Douaumont Ossuary at Verdun. Every battleground I've been to had an eerie feel to it. It wasnt necessarily spooky mind you, but just the thought of "Wow, many people died right here where I am standing." The Ossuary also had pits where masses pf random unidentified bones could be seen through windows, honoring the unknown soldiers.

The memorial for Soviet soldiers in Bratislava is breathtaking.

Bratislava in general is a nice place to visit.

Why do Russians get upset when people who's countries they forcibly annexed and forced communism on have anti-Russian sentiments?

I recently visited the monument to the Battle of Leipzig. I'm not sure what to think of some of the symbolism but the size was pretty impressive by itself.

Apparently he ordered [someone else more likely] that the whole horde rides over his grave so there is no trace left of it so it doesnt become a focal point and that [presumably] the whole steppe is his.
