According to legend, 2,000 people attended to his funeral needs after which they were killed by his army. This army was then killed by his escort, and the escort killed anyone and anything that crossed their path, in order to conceal where he was buried. Finally, the legend states that when they reached their destination they committed suicide.[1] It was told by Marco Polo, although does not appear in contemporary sources.[2] Furthermore, the legend goes, after the tomb was completed, the slaves who built it were massacred, and then the soldiers who killed them were also killed.[3] Thus everyone who knew about the location was dead.
