AGE-OLD SECRETS OF RUSSIA'S
BURIED TOMBS ARE BEING
BARED
WAS C1PITIE IT ONE TIME
What World Conquering People May
Have Done May Soon be
Revealed
WASHINGTON D. C., June 12
Dispatches from Moscow tell of im
portant archaeological finds among
“Russia’s buried tombs,” in the an
cient ruined capital of Mongolia, Khar
akohoto.
The claim to the region by Russia
and the apparent fact that it is at
least sufficiently under Russian con
trol to make scientific work possible
by Russian archaeologists is interest
ing because the site of Kj’arakhoto is
little more than a stone’s throw from
Peking, in a region long under Chinese
dominance.
A bulletin from the Washington, D.
| C. headquarters of the National Geo
graphic Society tells of the Mongols
and their land.
Capita! in unknown bra.
“Kharakhoto was the seat of Mon
gol power during the early period of
their history which hitherto has been
practically unknown,’ says the bulle
tin.
“What these world-conquering peo
ple may have been and done in the
dim past has been observed, in fact,
by their strange “boiling over” in the
thirteenth centuarv when Genghiz
Khan with his cruel, invincible, hard
fighting roughriders from their half
barren plains, suddenly became the
scourge of East and West alike, and
came much closer to conquering the
world than ever Alexander had done.
“Coming into prominence for only a
brief moment in the long period of his
tory, these people became masters of
China, Korea, Indo-China and Burma
in the East, and practically all of Asia
: west and south of their steppes, and
| even extended their conquests through
Russia into the heart of Poland and
| Hungary.
I “Kubalia Khan< one of Genghiz’s ;
early successors, who made Peking
the Chinese capital and sat there on
the Draggon throne, probably ruled
over a greater territory than any man
l had done before or since. But once out i
of the saddle—where they were more
expert and more at home than even
the Cossack or American Indian—the
Mongols lost their power and after a
century their tremenduous empire j
was only a memory .So dramatic was
this sudden rise and fall of the Mon
gols that it and the somewhat drab
period since have gone for Mongol
history, and there has been little in
terest in what proceeded their brief
excursion* into world domain. Records
if they can be dug from Kharakhoto,
therefore, will fill out a period of his
tory now practically blank.
To Block Mongols
“One hint of the importance that the
Mongols may have had at an early
date is the world’s most extensive
work of man, the Great Wall of China
for it was in an effort to keep out the
Mongols that the Chinese began that
tremenduous rampart in 219 B. C. The
ruins of Kharkhoto are barely 50 miles
outside the Great Wall and not more
than 250 miles from Peking. They lie
on the southeastern edge of the Gobi
Desert in a region, the dryness of
which is reported to have preserved
even papers and fabrics of great age.
The ruins lie in what has’ come to be
known as Inner Mongolia, a region of
old Mongolia into which there has
been considerable infiltration of Chi
nese in recent centuries.
“The political pendulum has made
frequent swings in Mongolia in late
years. It had been recognized as a
province of China for many years
wrhen in 1912 Imperial Russia obtain
ed a treaty recognizing its antonomy
and granting concessions to Russia.
When the Russian empire collapsed
China cancelled the treaty of 1912,
and reassumed unrestricted control.
Later a Bolsheviki force took posses
sion of the capital, Urga, and brought
about complete independence of Mon
golia as a nominal empire. The Bol
shevists then gained control and turn
ed the empire into a republic.
Religion Made Pacifists
“The Mongols of today are of the
same strain as their far-conquering
predecessors and many of them live
the same care-free nomadic life on
the plains. But among the people as
a whole there has been a tremendu
ous change in habits and outlook on
life. Buddhism—or rather its degener
ate phase, Lamaism—has wrought the
change; and furnishes one of the most
striking instances known of the power
of a religion over a people. The parti
cular aspect of Lamaism that has deep
ly affected the Mongols is the growth
of monasteries. Some estimates are
to the effect that as many as one third
of all the men among the Mongols are
monks, living in idleness, supported by <
the remainder of the population.
“The Chinese after the Mongol dy
nasty was driven from their throne,
encouraged Lamaism because the
growth of mantsticism tended to re
duce the birthrate^ to keep the re
mainder of the population in poverty;
and to discourage war. Their plan |
worked so well that the people who
700 years ago were war-thirsty, rave
ning scourge of the civilized world are
now a nation of pacificists. Even the
hardy horsemen who remain are un
der the dominance of the corrupt
Buddhist priests.
“It has been said of many peoples
who live much in the saddle that they
are centuars. The Mongol of today
in spite of the loss of warrior-like
qualities has a better claim to the ti
tle than most of his competitors. The
Mongol will ride 15 hours without a
complaint, but bitterly resents walk
ing 100 yards. So unused is he to
walking that he has a rolling gait like
a sailor. He turns to his horse in
many emergencies. If a saddle thong
break the Mongol rider pulls hairs
from his horse’s tail and braids a
strong cord to make his equipment
as good as new. Mongolian horse
races are grueling straightaway en
durance contests. Some of the wiry
ponies have been known to run twen
ty miles without a halt.
