Corpses of Choibalsan and Sukhbaatar cremated

For the last weeks they have been working on the deconstruction of the mausoleum at the sukhbaatar square. The bodies of Sukhbaatar and Choibalsan were removed and apparently the day before yesterday the bodies of Sukhbaatar and Choibalsan have been ritually cremated. There were monks present at the ceremony to bless there last farewell, which especially in the case of Choibalsan was quite remarkable. He is held most responsible for the destructions of more than 900 temples and monasteries and the killing of thousands of monks.

"I am God's Punishment for your Sins"

The Loneley Planet of Cantral Asia (with contributions of Mongolia LP writer Michael Kohn) mentions Chinggis Khaan (or Jenghiz, as they have transcribed it) and his army invading the city of Bukhara.

It was this brilliant city, as soldiers raped and looted and horses trampled Islamic Holy books in the streets, that the unschooled Jenghiz assended to the pulpit in the chief Mosque and preached to the congregation. His message:"I am God's punishment for your sins"

LP continues to conlude that this 'shocking psychological warfare is perhaps unrivaled in history'
