... Mongolian research team found the complex on a grassy steppe ...

Ah. Pure poetry.

Kato said his group was not aiming specifically to find the grave.

Kato? The guy from the OJ trial?

Still, he said finding it would help uncover the secrets of Genghis Khan's power.

Maybe they'll find modern weapons, because someone back then was violating the Prime Directive.

Genghis Khan's grave site is one of archaeology's enduring mysteries.

I'd rather they found Alexander's tomb.

I dunno, IMO, I'd call Genghis Khan a greater conqueror than Alexander -- all Alex did was knock off the Persian Shah and gain his Empire -- the hard work had already been done by the Assyrian, Babylonian and Persian Empires, he didn't add on too much more -- when he did face a sizable and determined force (Porus) he barely succeeded. And Porus was only a very minor Indian king Alex's army got scared when they heard of the even larger armies further to the East
