The Secrets of Genghis Khan documents historian Maury Kravitz's on-location archaeological excavation of a site that he believes contains the long-undiscovered tomb of 13th century Mongol warrior Khan. According to historical texts, Khan was in fact buried with hordes of treasure in his tomb, including gold, silver, rare and precious fabrics and objets d'art collected from sites around the globe. After years spent researching and attempting to identify the exact location of this burial place, Kravitz persuades the government of Mongolia to let him journey to this location with a cadre of archaeologists in tow. The Secrets of Genghis Khan depicts the group's journey - during which they must counter such threats as venomous pit vipers and an outbreak of deadly Anthrax - and reveals the findings that the adventurers uncover from the bowels of the Earth.
