Danzan Ravjaa's Treasure to be Revealed

Blog: Yurts, Yaks and other adventures on the Silk Road - 23 June 2009

By: U.B. Green

Anyone want to see buried treasure dug up from the Gobi? I thought so. As many of you are aware the personal belongings of Danzan Ravjaa were buried in the Gobi Desert in the 1930s. Much of it has been brought out of the ground and can be viewed at the Danzan Ravjaa Museum in Sainshand. Some of it still lies in the Gobi. But on Aug 1 a few of the crates containing Danzan Ravjaa’s belongings will be dug up. The event will be broadcast over the internet. Check the website for me details.
