A University of Chicago professor, a Chicago lawyer and Mongolian scholars on Thursday said they will be excavating a site in Mongolia believed to be the final resting place of Genghis Khan.

Although not confirmed, the team says they have found a location where the Mongolian emperor might be buried. He died in 1227, controlling a vast empire in Central Asia.
